Day 29: impatient

I was very stressed out yesterday and the stress landed in my lower back. No surprise there. I just can't handle it when more than one area of my life contains stress. It's exponential, not simple addition. Anyway, it was kind of weird, since my body has been so pain-free and tension-free for a few weeks! So I was looking forward to class. However, the stress in my mind translated into an impatient, whiny practice. Rested out a few poses, but it was mostly just a very resistant, impatient mind that was the problem.

Nevertheless, at the end of class, that tension in my low back had melted away!
