Taking Accountability for Your Stress

November 15, 2019November 14, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

You know how they say people can't drive us crazy if we don't give them the keys? Or how the only thing we can control in life is our response? Well, I've been thinking about this for a long time—more than a decade in fact—and while I understand this on a rational level, it hasn't … Continue reading Taking Accountability for Your Stress

Stress Management Tips

September 12, 2019September 2, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Stress needs to be managed moment to moment, as well as daily, so it doesn't build up to the point of lashing out. Practicing healthy coping mechanisms for stress throughout the day (e.g. breathing, light stretching, positive affirmations) helps diffuse the stress so it doesn't build up. Doing a mindfulness practice for a few minutes … Continue reading Stress Management Tips

Fancy Bathroom, Healthy Self

August 21, 2019August 13, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

I keep happening upon renovated bathrooms: at the local apartment complex, at the local synagogue. I didn’t think the previous bathrooms were so bad. "Why did they spend the money to redo them?" I initially thought. But after using them, I realized there is something uplifting about using a fancier, finer ladies' room.  It elevates … Continue reading Fancy Bathroom, Healthy Self

I Am My Yoga Client Too

August 6, 2019August 8, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I had found the perfect playlist for teaching my weekly yoga sessions. That meant that I didn't want to listen to it for my own yoga practice anymore—I didn't want it to get stale. I enjoyed other songs by the same artist, but I missed listening to those songs. Then I reminded myself a few … Continue reading I Am My Yoga Client Too

Injury Makes Me Be with My Thoughts

August 5, 2019August 8, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Recently I started having some pain in the ball of my foot. This was a few weeks after I had restarted teaching Pilates and yoga. This followed my previous trajectory of starting to teach exercise and then psyching myself out to the point where I feel a bit overzealous in my own exercising and get … Continue reading Injury Makes Me Be with My Thoughts

Sleep Promotes Inner Peace

July 10, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday I blogged about my past two weeks of poor sleep. It's kind of a cycle: poor sleep leads to heightened anxiety which leads to poor sleep, etc. I was relieved when I woke up this morning that I felt refreshed. I had not woken up in the middle of the night as in previous … Continue reading Sleep Promotes Inner Peace

Serenity and Consicous Living

June 19, 2019June 13, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I started reading a book called Serenity by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin. He uses the word to represent inner peace and living in the moment. I've tried to live in the present—let go of the past, stop mind-racing toward the future. I've attempted this on and off for more than a decade. Maybe this time will … Continue reading Serenity and Consicous Living

Where Did I Put That?! The Art of Letting Go

June 18, 2019June 12, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Recently we moved. There were a couple of items I put aside to MAKE SURE I wouldn't lose track of them during the move. Guess what? I lost track! I made my husband go back to the apartment again and again to check. "It must be there!" I thought. Then this morning I accepted, I … Continue reading Where Did I Put That?! The Art of Letting Go

Connecting to Your Inner Rhythm: We Are Humans, Not Machines

June 17, 2019June 12, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

At the end of my morning yoga session I lay in savassana. Lying in savassana (corpse pose) is a way to integrate all the physical benefits of the yoga poses, as well as a great tool for calming the nerves! As I lay in savassana, I heard something rhythmically pulsing in my house. And that … Continue reading Connecting to Your Inner Rhythm: We Are Humans, Not Machines

Man’s Efforts + G-d’s Blessings = Success

April 2, 2019March 24, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

When I perform yoga poses with agility, when I work 10-hour days while raising a family with stamina, this impresses upon me the idea that I am accomplished, a go-getter. Adrenaline runs through my veins as I continue to day in and day out keep up with my dutiful and diligent performance in life. But … Continue reading Man’s Efforts + G-d’s Blessings = Success
