Thought about reading my old blog posts and decided to write again on why I ended up alone in Brazil at the end of 2015.

I used to eat 3 meals (+ 1 snack) per day because I always had in mind that skipping breakfast was ‘bad’. But then I realized that by doing so I was eating even when I wasn’t hungry.

I used to put so much pressure on myself because I didn’t have my life figured out yet at the end of high school. And even more at 27, after quitting my job, when I realized I still had no idea.

Which one of these facts surprises you the most?

I’ve been practicing yoga on and off since 2012. I’d do just a couple of rounds of the sun salutation for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. Then at some point, I’d just stop and come back at it only when I’d feel down (mostly because of breakups…)

I remember practicing it for the first time back in April and I couldn’t understand how people were able to lift their knees up on their forearms.

All I want is to feel good. And if it means stretching for only 10 min or practicing headstand endlessly then I’m happy.

It’s when I think I don’t have time for yoga that I know it’s the best moment to practice. Even if it’s just staying in savasana and carefully paying attention to my breathing, it still counts.

The first time I tried to lift one leg up in bridge pose was during one yoga class back in June.
