I Could Use a Hug

Hello, loves! Can you believe it's already October? 

Today I'm curled up on the couch and feeling under the weather. :( Not sure if it's the flu but whatever it is, it's not fun; besides that, I've had some pretty strong anxiety recently and am just finding it hard to release fear. I'm feeling humbled and decided that instead of suffering alone, I'd ask for extra hugs. 

Isn't it amazing how as soon as you choose to ask for help and not feel like you're carrying the weight of the world by yourself, things start to shift?

That's what I'm noticing today... as soon as I put it out there to ask for help, it comes my way. Even just texting friends and saying, hey, I'm not doing so hot, could you send a hug? It makes all the difference!

I'm amazed, too, by the connections I've made through social media and on this blog. It blows me away how we've built such a compassionate, meaningful community of yogis! Thank you for that.

My hope today is that by opening up and saying, I could really use a hug, that I would receive the loving energy that I need and that I would also remind others that being vulnerable and asking for help is OK.

We're all struggling. We're all going through a lot, and trying to figure it out and make it through. Even if it doesn't feel like it today, we'll be OK.

Sending much love ~ Namaste.
