Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

Keep your COOL!

Bright side - we are all in this heat together! So, how do you keep your COOL? You could stick ice cubes or frozen grapes in every part of your body that will hold them until they melt, and then repeat.
You could fill your bathtub/kiddie pool with crushed ice and get a bucket of food coloring and make the biggest snow cone in history.
You could stop driving or take any form of transportation that blows out hot exaust - becuase man oh man it is not fun to drive in this heat! Cancel all driving!
O.k. - these may not be realistic for you.
So, you better just do more hot yoga.
Um - yes.
It is hotter outside than in the yoga room.
You will be sweating today anyway, right? May as well come and workout while you sweat!
BRIGHT SIDE:
Imagine if you were 8 months pregnant in this heat.
Imagine if you work construction/anything that involves standing on a tar surface.
Imagine if you were a driver of some sort.
Imagine if you lived in India/Africa/anywhere that stays like this for more than a week!
Imagine if you were an animal and you had to wear a fur coat like they do?
If you happen to be any one of these people/animals -
My heart goes out to ya!! You will survive.
We all will.
We are in this together.
I'm going to jump in a lake now.
After I do a hot yoga class,
and after I stick a frozen grape up my butt.
Peace
Andrea

Gratitude.. I think that's the key to survive this heat wave :D Meanwhile, I keep myself cool by biting into flavourful summer fruit like peaches and blueberries. They are just so yummy these days!
