Doing unsupported headstands in my 40’s? Backbends? Trying again and again unsuccessfully to do a handstand with no wall support (another day).
Riding horses, what to work on today stuck in an indoor arena all winter? Practice something different each ride–curves and straight movements, lateral maneuvers, tempo of the ride.
Trying to challenge the limitations we put on our capabilities can be daunting, but each stretch brings a reward of the mental, the physical. Sometimes we move too fast, too dangerous, and we back up slowly, start anew, but slowly move back to starting position, then ahead–testing, convincing, reminding us that life is a journey yet completed.
It is what keeps us young, life vibrant, talk and actions interesting. And as we move from working within our spirits to the larger community outside, our souls soar. Try something new today. Tomorrow. C
