Inspiration - Coping with Change and Imbalance
From the Kripalu Yoga Teachers Association Newsletter…
Quote of the Day
” can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about, and what you value.” –Stephen Covey
Also from the newsletter, an excerpt from Kripalu Yoga Teacher, David Morgan’s blog:
Yoga helped me pick through the many layers of bipolar disorder to see that my wild mood swings stemmed almost always from an unhappiness that my life wasn’t going the way I thought it should, that my existence was meaningless, that I couldn’t ever meet the expectations of family and society even if I tried, and that I felt trapped.
Yoga opened the trap, allowing the sensitive, creative (sometimes angry) me to step out and find a constructive voice. This is the jewel hidden in the bipolar curse–the ability to live life more fully, allowing my vulnerability and sensitivity to bubble to the surface as a strength rather than a weakness.
