I grew up in a suburban small town in the North Ea

I grew up in a suburban small town in the North East of Italy 🇮🇹
.
As a kid, my summers were mostly spent outdoors, in the countryside at my grandparents or at the nearby beach.
.
Then, I grew up and hated it. I wanted to be a city girl, so much so I moved to New York, Padua, Milan, Dublin, and London.
.
Now, I appreciate both, suburbs and the city, although, I miss those easier times.
.
What are you, city, country, mountain, beach, lake or suburbs?

We spend lots of time trying to improve ourselves

We spend lots of time trying to improve ourselves and lives through actions like:
Yoga
Meditation
Self development seminars
Personal growth books
Going to the gym
Etc…
.
All selfish actions designed to make "US" feel better.
But, what if we spend less time focusing on ourselves, and do more good for others?
.
"Kindness is the new happiness."

When a relationship ends, usually, there are a goo

When a relationship ends, usually, there are a good and a bad guy. The asshole who made the break happen and the victim.
.
But, what if, there aren't a good guy and a bad guy, instead, you weren't simply a match.
.
In the past I dated wonderful men, with whom it didn't work. We were poisonous to each other.
.
With my husband it was easy and natural, love isn't complicated.
.
BTW abusive relationship are another thing, I am not talking about them

In my daily practice I dedicate a great deal of time warming up my shoulders.
.
Healthy and flexible shoulders are key for backbending, handstands, arm balances, etc...
Never give them for granted, a bit of TLC it doesn't take lots of time.
.
This specific sequence, is ideal if you are working on flipping the grip.
.
Exercise:
✳️ Come to a standing position, use a wooden stick, or yoga straps, as you wish. Hands shoulders distance apart from each other
✳️ Inhale, bring the arms up, lift from under the scapula
✳️Exhale, rotate the shoulders backwards, and lower them back down
✳️Inhale, look up
Example, forward fold
✳️ Try to reach the floor with your hands and the sick. If you can't don't worry, baby steps, the most important thing is that you don't push yourself ✳️ Inhale, come up ✳️ Exhale ✳️ Inhale, bring the arms over your head, try to keep them as straight as possible, core engaged, and tailbone tucked in ✳️ Exhale, slowly lower the arms back down .

Repeat the sequence 5 to 10 times daily

There is no such a thing as people without problem

There is no such a thing as people without problems!
.
We all have to deal with life, and let's be honest, life isn't a piece of cake.
.
Problems are as big as we perceive them.
For me, losing my father in a car accident, at the age of 7 felt devastating.
For Tom, his divorce and losing half of his money with it, felt devastating.
For Anna, having a pimple in the middle of her forehead on her first date with Jeremy, felt devastating.
.
As you can see, we all have problems, and we feel strongly about them. There isn't a worse problem than the other, as long as it is felt deeply it is important and should be treated as such.
.
Don't allow anybody to tell you that your problems aren't important.
