The noise of the falling keys vibrated desk and falling phone book got attention most of the people in the office. It ?is 8.12 in the morning. I slowly released my last excel while flexing my left arm holding a chair near my desk I smoothly pull up my feet down. Now I am ready to work. I have been doing yoga for more then 3 months now. It helps me incorporate my work into my daily life in lots of ways. First, Yoga divides foods into categories ? so I eat right. Secondly yoga ? is my greatest mental exercise: I cold calling for a living. You can only imagine how much stress I go through when one of you drops the phone, replies with a strong negative language once I am calling you and then drops the phone anyway.. I live all day long just dialing and selling over the phone.
Doing yoga activates a certain parts of the brain, stimulates endocrine system, muscles, people gain strength and immune system is getting improved unbelievably. I have been selling all my life and never felt so much healthier and happier since that day I started YOGA. I practice 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes before lunch. The effect is the most amazing feeling of a complete rejuvenated body and spirit ready to work and accomplish tasks with a new level of energy I would not experienced ever in my entire life. I learned how to control my stress, breathing and to control my blood pressure.
It is almost 11 am ? I jumped on the desk and froze in a Crocodile posture: standing on my hands ? I keep my eyes closed, in a few minutes lunch.
I stretched my toes I feel no pain in lining up the top of my head with my hills. I breath out. I live now practicing my yoga.
