Week 3 The sun came out this morning after a week of gloomy, dismal days (and I'm not just talking about the weather). It's amazing the difference a bit of sunshine can make to how we feel. I decided to embrace the sun with Surya Namaskar which takes in the elements of Forward Fold, Runner, Plank, Child, 4 Stage Cobra and Down Dog all in one beautiful sequence. Even better you can practise it slowly, as we did this morning, or fast to make it an aerobic exercise - the choice is always yours! We followed up with Dancer using the wall for extra support. While the sun shines let's celebrate it and dance! This week's Quote: “The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.” Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor This week’s Task: Pay attention to your thoughts: Our thoughts can influence our experience. Pick two events this week (say a meeting at work, whether zoom or in person, a zoom get together with friends or a family meal at home) and job down how you imagine each will unfold. How do you imagine you will feel? Later, consider what actually happened and how you actually felt. How might expectation have influenced reality? Did anything surprise you? What do your findings teach you about yourself. Taken from Every Day Matters Diary by Dani DiPirro
