I never considered myself a person who was ready to change my life drastically, but one Thursday everything happened completely by accident, and I still laugh, remembering that morning. I woke up late, feeling that the sun was ignoring me on purpose, and decided that instead of my usual coffee and endless news, I would do something new, something that seemed completely out of my comfort zone. I've always been interested in yoga, but I thought it was for flexible people, whom I call potato flexible creatures, and I'm definitely not one of them. That morning I just clicked on the video tutorial for beginners and laid the rug in the living room because I wanted my cat to look at me with surprise😼

The first minutes were like a comedy, I confused my legs, my hands fell, and the cat was clearly amused. I even thought that if I broke in the first position, I would become a meme in my own house. But then something strange happened: my body began to feel light, and the thoughts that usually jumped around the apartment like crazy birds finally calmed down. I felt that I could just be here and now, and not think about all things and failures at the same time.

The next morning I woke up and thought I could do it again. And so gradually my little habit began. Yoga classes have turned into something like a daily quest, how many times will I fall on the mat today and will the cat notice it? But over time, I noticed that my body became more flexible and my thoughts were less chaotic. Problems at work, which used to bring me to tears, now seemed like just funny adventures, as if I were watching a movie with my own dramatic script, but in the role of a spectator.

The funny thing is that I didn't expect it to change my life. I began to notice the beauty in the little things, how the light breaks through the leaves, how the colors of the sky change, how the cat, who usually ignores me, suddenly decides to watch my falls and look very serious. My reality became brighter and funnier at the same time, and I realized that trying something new is sometimes more important than feeling your own flexibility🤫🥰

Now I try to try new things every month, even if it means I'll fall, laugh and look funny. And it all started only because one Thursday I accidentally clicked on a beginner's video tutorial. That little step changed my body, my perception of the world and even my laughter, because I learned to laugh at myself and enjoy life, no matter how unpredictable it was.
