Too much stress for her to bear. No money for her to spend. Too much stress for no reward.
She is being ripped off by the owner of the yoga studio. She is the manager and gets paid minimum wage to do far too much work for an unorganized person.
And I can see it building up into a giant ball of stress.
We hold stress in our bodies in many different ways. In our shoulders, in our appetites, in our hips, in our joints, in our minds, in our teeth. We deal with it by yelling at people, by exercising, by eating, by not eating, by talking. And yet, we all have those moments where it becomes too much for one to hold in. A tidal wave rolls in, and we succumb to our despair. If only we had a little more time. We wouldn't be so stressed to get from one place to another. If only this person did this, then we would have been done already. If only I had done this, I wouldn't be where I am now. Too many ifs, not enough acceptance. Things are what they are. Sometimes, as much as we try, situations are out of our control. We just can't change things, and that's where we get our strength. We accept, we maneuver, and we learn. If we had a little more time, society would eventually get to this point again where we try to make ourselves so busy that we have no time to relax. We would still live our world in a daze of being absorbed in our phones, our computers, our televisions. If that person had done that task, something else might have been thrown in your face, or maybe they just had too much on their plate. Sometimes you need to take a step back and realize that maybe you've bitten off more than you can chew.
We spend too much time worrying about what other people think. Why is it a bad thing to relax on a Friday night? Why can't I eat at a restaurant by myself? Why do you feel sorry for me that I have to watch a movie alone?
Too much judgement. And too much caring about that judgement.
Live your life as you want to live it. And who cares what they think. All that matters is what you think.
