Yoga Cures Everything
When I was walking to yoga after work I was completely stressed out. All I wanted to do was to curl up in bed and hide from this world for a couple of weeks.
And then we did all sorts of poses that I absolutely hate and I was cursing up a storm on the inside but pushed through it.
And in shavasana I felt pure bliss.
Life is like yoga: there are a lot of things that get in your way that you don’t like but you just have to suck it up and go through it. And you know what? It’s not too bad.
As I was walking to the open air cinema site after yoga (yes! open air cinema in April!) to go and see “The Big Lebowski” with my friends I realized that I was the one who put unnecessary stress on myself.
First of all it was all for pleasure. It’s not like I had to study hard for an exam! I played squash with my friends, had great dinners, went to a runner’s event with my dad and so on.. it’s all things that I wanted to do!
So why the heck was I complaining? Well I guess I just often wish that I wouldn’t want to do so many things at once. And to be honest, I just wanted a night off for myself for some blogreading, hehe..
But again, I wanted to do these things or else I would have been a bit annoyed.
Sorry for the rant but maybe I’m not the only one who sometimes feels like that.
I set my alarm for 5am though it’s nearly 00:30am. Guess that sleeping in for an other hour is ok
.
Tomorrow we’ll spend the day with Silvio’s family and I have no idea what we’ll do. Hiking was planned but it’s supposed to rain like crazy. So we’ll see.
Despite my whining there has been some amazing stuff going on. Like the chocolate banana cake that I made for my friend Simone on Wednesday (which was my secret mission – she sometimes reads the blog so I couldn’t write about it.
)
Also.. I think I found the best sandwich ever. Tibits makes a great one with asparagus, sundried tomato paste, bear’s garlic pesto (with tofu), tomato and lettuce. (I had it before but fell in love again hehe)
To. Die. For.
Too bad that it’s only a spring-offer. Good that I ate the exact same sandwich today for lunch again.
It tastes especially well with a green juice and some magazine on the side..
For Simone’s birthday we went and had dinner at an Indian restaurant yesterday! We started with samosas and something else… Ha! I ordered it but forgot the name. Too bad..
I had a veggie curry with garlic naan which was heavenly.
My camera’s battery died right after taking this photo.
So you see, life isn’t all too bad. Though I must say that too much good stuff often sometimes put unnecessary stress on us too..
I guess it’s time for bed. Or better: my yantra mat!
I read so many good things about it and decided to order one. It arrived today and I can’t wait to try it and loosen up my neck and back muscles.
Whoooo party time!
Have a wonderful weekend! I just realized that it’s already May now. What the eff?? Where did the time go?



simone is a lucky chikie! wow that looks amazing!! <3
i was so skeptical of the whole yoga thing until i actually tried it.. its the best thing i could hav eever done for my mental health.
that sanswich and green juice both look fantastic!!! enjoy the rest of your day- hopefully it is sunny over there!! xoxo <3
in my professional indian opinion the other thing along side the samosa looks like chaat to me. ha!
Oh. My. That cake looks amazing. My birthday was in January, but you can always send me a belated birthday cake
I oftentimes find myself wanting to do too much at once as well. Unfortunately, it’s not always stuff that I enjoy. I keep having to remind myself to focus on one thing and stop being so scatterbrained… maybe one day I’ll take my own advice
Hope you’re having a fab weekend, hun!
I think that’s the prettiest chocolate cake I’ve seen. I love the solid chocolate accents!
I’m taking a yoga class tomorrow morning that I wasn’t sure I wanted to wake up for. Now I’m excited about it again. Thanks!
That mat thinghi looks AWESOME! Let us know how it works!
Wow that chocolate cake looks so yummy!!!! The fact that it has bananas in it makes it even better!!!!
Take a night for yourself soon!!! Its necessary to do that sometimes!! Sounds like you’ve been a very busy girl lately!!
That cake is so beautiful– I am seriously impressed with your skills!!!
Ahhh, I wish I was stressed out because I had too much fun stuff to do, lol
I get stressed out by how bored I am, lately
I must know what was inside that delicious looking, chocolaty dream of a cake.
I’m like you when it comes to stress. I stress when I have too much to do and I also stress when I have nothing to do. HA! Maybe it’s a “woman” thing. We’re hard to satisfy!
So how was the yantra mat. It looks interesting.
you are so right karin! yoga does cure everything. oh i love the big lebowski-how fun to be able to watch it outdoors!
Whoa that mat looks crazy! Does it really loosen up your muscles??
I completely know what you mean about putting unnecessary stress on yourself. If I may insert one of my favorite quotes:
“It’s not the weight of the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.”
^ so true
I can definitely relate to the stress thing. I fill my calendar so full then wonder why I’m exhausted. Ugh… duh!
