A poster on another site was discussing what she called sub frenzy.... the excitement of all the newness and the thirst for more, more, more. Her husband and her are new to the lifestyle and learning together. He's taking things slowly, spending a lot of time researching things and she's in a rush to experience it all. She was looking for suggestions on how to redirect those feeling of need. Different people gave different suggestions of course, but mine was different....I suggested the gym to improve strength and stamina. Researching and reading to learn more. Then I suggested something that struck a cord even within myself.... yoga for flexibility, meditation and finding stillness. And in my own mind I'm reminded how important finding stillness within oneself is so important. I haven't been in my practice lately, my life is so chaotic and I cannot get a moment of peace. I've let stress of moving my business and myself totally take over my life. I don't feel any connection with my heart or mind, stress is all i have at the moment. I haven't been in my yoga practice in awhile and it is such an important thing for me. I keep telling myself that I just need to "get through this week" and I can get back to normal.
Finding stillness is so important for a submissive. To be put into a place and stay there. To surrender your movement AND your mind. For me if I'm actively thinking about what comes next, I cannot be still. Yoga was a wonderful solution for this, it taught me so much in taming my "monkey mind". I realize that I've disappointed myself and my Master, in not working to improve myself of late. Not taking responsibility for my own mental health and well being and now I fear that I'm in such a whirlwind that I cannot find myself again.
So excuse me while I go take my own advice and find some stillness....
