Pleasure allows us to experience life as a value and yourself as a value.  There is no knowledge more precious than that of the value of life and of self.  Joy at its most intense provides this knowledge – not abstractly, but with the vividness and intensity of direct sensory perception.

Try going back to basics today.  Bend and Stretch.

Downward Facing Dog stretch.
Stretch from all 4s to this pose 10 times!
  1. Start in downward facing dog: Get on all fours, tuck toes under and press hips up to form and inverted V (or tent position).
  2. Shift hips back slightly and bend knees toward chest as you round back into a tuck, pulling belly button toward spine.
  3. Return to downward facing dog to complete one rep.
  4. Do 2 sets of 10 reps.

You are a very valuable person.  Give yourself the time to feel deep breath and deep stretches.  The benefit of doing this will be fulfilling!
