Keep Breathing

I've thought many times about blogging over the past several months, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I've been struggling with the same things many of you have recently, fear, anxiety, stress, worry, concern, I could probably go on, but I find it hard to breathe even thinking the words. Literally the only thing that keeps me from climbing back in bed and pulling the covers over my head, is what I've learned from my yoga practice and study. Staying in the present moment is crucial. At this moment, everything is fine. This moment is perfect. I have a roof over my head, my stomach is full, myself, my family and friends are well and safe (to my knowledge, anyway). If I start to worry about what has already occurred, or what more could go wrong next, I start to feel physically ill and my chest gets tight, and then I've got the virus, right? But I can't change the past, and while I can plan for the future, what's going to happen is going to happen. Right now, this moment, everything is perfect. I wish the same for all of you. Breathe in the present moment.
