Yoga has been not just for my body, but mainly for my mind:
My mind used to spiral to the bottom — sometimes I created chaos myself, sometimes I spent 3 days crying, sometimes I took pills to sleep for days, because I didn’t know better. Worst of all, I dragged people I loved down with me, completely unaware of the pain I was causing.
Thankfully, yoga and meditation taught me to notice the drama and stories my mind was inventing, instead of believing them. I also learnt how easily you sink when you’re exhausted — insomnia taught me that too.
Slowly, I learnt real skills: challenge my own mind, rest before deciding important things, ask myself what I’d tell my best friend, hold my plans loosely instead of gripping one outcome.
Best yoga skill I’ve learnt: not to sink, and not to torture myself or anyone else in the process. That is why I can’t live without meditation, qigong, yoga, and mindful practices.
