Injured

So apparently I have a shoulder injury which I think is stupid because I don`t have time for an injury and I certainly don`t have the patience. But, as I`ve found out, the Injury is the boss of me so I have to listen to it and respect it. I have temporarily abandonned Crossfit and taken up hot yoga in the mean time. I did hot yoga for a few years before I discovered Crossfit and I think the two together are an excellent fitness combination. The yoga compliments the Crossfit with challanging cardio and mind-body connection. `Observe it but do not react to it.` The `it` is the distraction, weather its a drop of sweat rolling down your forehead or the urge to let go of the pose. Hot yoga helps you focus on yourself and not react to distractions. I found this permiated into all aspects of my life, including work, when I was really into my practice a few years ago. Such a great side benefit to an extremely satisfying workout! I`m going to keep up with the hot yoga for at least another week until the shoulder settles down. I have seen my doctor, my chiro and my massage therapist and I have an ultra sound booked for next week. Suddenly my medical team and extended benefits are leaping into action. Thank goodness for govermment jobs :)
