RE: A Tale of Garlic and Yoga Class: AKA Prioritizing My Health Over Others' Comfort

in #yoga8 years ago (edited)

I love yoga and eating garlic, but I always do my yoga alone or with my best buddy Mr. Youtube, so the garlic thing has never been an issue..

In any case, I think 99% of it is in people's heads when they eat garlic, or for that matter think there is something wrong with them -whatever it is, if it's minor other people probably don't notice it and even if they do, don't really care... like shoes not matching your outfit, forgetting to brush your teeth that morning, messy hair, pimple, etc.

Also, back to garlic now, in my experience you'd need to eat a whole lot of garlic for people to notice, and be standing VERY close to actually smell it on their breath. As you say..."I don’t intend to start eating gobs of garlic every night and going to yoga every week reeking like a string of garlic is hung around my neck."

That made me laugh by the way, I'm a very visual person so I had to picture that :-D

Upvoted and followed!

Glad I made you laugh! I'm of the opinion that if you can't have a sense of humor about your irrational thoughts and feelings, then what's the good of it all? :) Thanks for the reassurance that most people aren't going to care about the garlic situation on occasion. I think you're probably right. Thanks for the comment! And thanks for the follow! I've followed you in return.

Totally, can't take yourself too seriously. Sometimes I'm out in public and I think of something funny and I just start laughing out loud..people look at you like you're crazy, especially here in Germany, but I don't let that stop me from enjoying life!!

And thanks back :)
