The other day, I was feeling pressured to "get all of the things/tasks done before I had to leave the house. My spouse has been somewhat under the weather, so that added to my list. I could feel me "gripping" in my body. Thinking that would not do, plus it wasn't any fun, I decided to practice "Karma yoga." Everything I did, and was going to do, was in service--to my spouse, to others, to humanity. What a lovely switch I experienced! Peaceful, even joyful. Every time I felt myself tightening, I just remembered to breathe and that I was doing karma yoga. My tasks were accomplished easily and peacefully.
