--Tony Kushner
We certainly tend to be generous with our resources, especially time, giving to others, but are we as generous with ourselves? One of my long-time MELT/yoga students is recovering from successful hip replacement surgery earlier this week. This is for her a time for massive self-interest--our bodies use an extreme amount of energy to heal such a procedure. It is time for her to be very generous and gentle with herself.
Do we need major surgery to be kind to ourselves? I hope not! Good self-interest lies in adequate sleep, moderate exercise, healthy eating, time in nature, social connection, and some form of creativity. When an individual's "tank" is full, generosity can then overflow to others--a win-win for all.
Happy Friday!
