Wow.

I did a yoga course about a month ago. It's at the gym at work but due to moving to a different office temporarily, I've not been able to go for a while. It was focussed on the positions, with only slight touches of the other aspects of yoga.

It was great in several ways. I found it really useful as a way to relax more thoroughly than I do normally. While relaxing, I found myself thinking about areas of my life I was forgetting or ignoring under the stress of life. And it opened my eyes to how down I am on my own body and made me realise that that I need to respect and love my physical self.

Nobody had mentioned the bit about satya. I'm really in need of that now. I tend to be fake with people at first, because I want to be entertaining and witty. It takes a while for me to get past that and develop a true friendship. Since I moved, I'm surrounded by many people, but few friends and acting all the time is exhausting me. Also at work I'm always trying to impress, because my contract finishes in May and I really want/need them to keep me on. This is leading to confusion between what I mean and what I half fake/half mean.
