Transitions and Breathing.

I felt the need to post today, as I have been very behind.  I am hoping to keep up with my blog more regularly once I get into a routine again...

An update:

I have officially graduated from medical school as of last Saturday, and I am currently in the middle of packing up my apartment...I will begin a new adventure in Denver, where I will begin my residency...a part of me is excited about moving to a new place, yet another part of me is anxious and nervous about the new responsibilities and physical work that will be required of me....however, I will focus on the positive:  it's a change..but it will be an exciting adventure, and I will constantly be learning something new.....



I like this quote by Hellen Keller:

"Security is mostly a superstition.  It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.  Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.  Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."





.....no matter what, I (...we all) must NOT forget to breathe.....speaking of...
I have taken a short hiatus from running and started getting back into yoga....Bikram Yoga, specifically.  The last time I went to Bikram Yoga was at least a year ago...and boy could I feel it the first day back!  but...


I have already noticed how much it helps my focus and relaxation; however, my flexibility and strength need much improvement.  I hope that I will be able to continue once I get to Colorado.  Below describes a typical Bikram Yoga class, and I also posted a video I found from the studio I have been taking classes from in Houston..
