Inversions

I'm a worryer. I worry about everything, especially death. Especially health issues... I'm terrified of cancer (it's silent and hidden). I worry about car accidents. I worry about the issues that I've been having with my back (even though I knew my terrible posture would catch up to me someday). I worry about these things happening to me or to the hubby. I worry that we'll end before we're supposed to, not because we had a silly fight like last time, but because we get smashed on the highway, because cells decide to multiply out of control, because of a random event. And I worry most when I'm happy, which is most of the time lately. Last week it was starting to get out of control, to the point where I was seriously thinking about going to see a counselor (and I still might, because it seems like a good idea).

On Sunday in teacher training, we did inversions. So basically, we did headstands, handstands, and shoulder stands for almost three hours. We'd try something, then rest (headstands are hard on the neck, shoulders, and almost everything else!). The feeling after all of that inversion, though, was amazing. We were all so mellow that we were struggling to have conversations! When I got home, I realized that I felt really strange... after trying to figure out why for about ten minutes, I realized that it was because I hadn't worried about anything in hours! So I think this week, every time I start to worry about something that I can't control right now, I'll go into an inversion.
