Listening Closely
I missed a week there. I hadn’t foreseen how helpful it has been to look back at these posts now, because I lost track of time and now see that my body has been giving me a real amount of trouble for close to four weeks. Everything intensified over the long weekend and the migraine, if that is even what it was, did not ease for about ten days. I was in and out of doctors and I am currently waiting for a brain MRI. Being told “a virus” from my bloodwork was not enough for me. I am a mother to a three and a half year old and I take leading by example in all matters of health very seriously.
The timing of it all was difficult but YTT happened to be on a study break, which I am deeply grateful for. I worked very slowly through assignments and shifted from laptop to notebook because the light sensitivity was intense. I was not able to work at all, so having yoga as a point of focus was a blessing. Meditation remained completely accessible and was a steady companion. Movement was limited and low but still welcome, even if I could only muster a couple minutes of gentle exploration.
On top of all of this, my reconfirmation of ADHD diagnosis was finalised last week, with ADHD as the primary diagnosis and Anxiety as the secondary. I am now working with the diagnosing GP to fine tune my Vyvanse dosage over the next couple of months. I look forward to a time in future when tapering off Sertraline might be possible.
My body is speaking clearly. Listen up. Rest. Assess. Adjust. It has my full attention now.
🧘 Returning to Class
We were back to virtual class on Thursday evening and it was so nice to see everyone again. I was exhausted and not in the mood, and it seems many others had struggled in their own ways over the week as well. Yet in one short hour I felt reconnected.
I am ahead with modules so this week I am focusing on personal practice and continued Gita reading. I need to return to my journal entries so have some catching up to do there. The chapters are so short that it is difficult to stop reading. Revisiting them is wonderful though, so it feels more like a gift than a task. Another reminder to slow down and absorb.
📚 Looking Ahead
Virtual class is Thursday night and we are back to in-person training for a full day this Saturday. I am genuinely looking forward to it. I will work within whatever limitations arise for me and for everyone else, moment to moment, breath to breath.
