I try to remind myself that life will inadvertently teach you the lessons you need to learn until you actually learn them.

So I try to practice equanimity (much easier on the mat than off), that is the ability to keep it together under pressure. But the underlying questions remain: How much do I swallow? When can I lose it? Can I lose it without actually losing it and still get my point across?

I get some decent practice with my husband. Because when I lose it with my kids, it's usually my bad. Sure, I believe in creating a structured home enviroment with clear boundaries, but I still have to be the mature onewhen the sh** hits the fan, considering the fact that they are, as I mentioned, kids.

But with my husband, we're supposed to be on the same level, yet some things just cannot be discussed. It's like return to the stone age. So tonight we're just going to keep quiet - after all not all battles are worth fighting, especially when they're about the stupidest things.

And for once I am OK with that. Does that mean I'm making progress???

Today has been a tough day.   I've been provoked, and even though I knew what was coming, after 2½ hours I cracked. Not very yogic.   I had my first Body Balance class in two months, and as expected, I'm not exactly at my peak. Still I feel f...

I love living in Sweden. And there's a lot in the U.S. that could stand improvement. Remember that as you keep reading my short list of complaints.   Or actually read about my one big complaint:   This morning as I was brushing the snow off my ca...

Right now I am feeling almost too tired to get out of my chair. This is typical right after putting the kids to bed. I remember it being very important to my husband and me that our children got to bed early every evening (8 P.M.) so that we could ha...
