My Challenges

I have many days when I am working so hard to get through the day without letting my challenges have the share of the day. Challenges in my life are constantly vying for control of my many days. Quietly they sometimes appear out of nowhere. Other days they have loud noises and sounds going off in my mind as they arrive.

These challenges make my life hard to bear most days. It is like being caught in a wave of emotion that can never get to shore. Having to ride the wave is so tiring to do day after day! My emotions are not easy to work through because having the energy to stop the wave is not easy to muster without losing control.

I think that it is not so simple for people like me to change their emotions. Given outside support it is easier but it is much better if there is work done to help the body learn to help itself. I have to say that yoga has helped me so much because I can control my body more through the movements and through the deep breathing that I do. I like the really great yoga teacher that I have too. She is so calming. When I can use the breaths that I have practiced in yoga I think it really helps me calm down.
