Dear First name / friend,
Yesterday was a first for me (at least I think it was a first).
I left the house wearing yoga clothes with a sweatshirt on for warmth. Got to the studio, started signing people in, went into the room to start class. We were about ⅔'s off the way through the class when I was told my shirt was inside out.
When class started, I talked a bit about gratitude and journalling. How a yoga teacher I know had shifted his journalling from writing day's events (good and bad), to focusing on the parts of the day he found good. I call that gratitude journalling.
Well, how does one jump from ‘wearing a shirt inside out’ to ‘gratitude journalling’? Here's how – I called out the elephant in the room by telling the class that it had been whispered discreetly to me that my shirt was inside out. To a person, everyone started laughing, including me.
It was a great class enhanced by laughter at my clothing lapse.
I am grateful to the person who told me and I am grateful to all in the room who had a bit of fun with it.
So, I think it was a first for me; at least I hope so. And, it may not be the last.
All this to say – look for the good in even the embarrassing moments.
