In hard yoga poses, you'll often hear your teachers say: "sit in this place of discomfort." It's a reminder not to immediately run away from something just because it's uncomfortable, but to embrace it, breathe into it. It's a message I've been continually reminding myself of during this last month. It's uncomfortable, at times, starting a whole new life. And sometimes I do think about how easy it would be to just retreat back into the familiar. But if you backed off of every hard yoga pose you put yourself in, you wouldn't actually be stretching. It's the same in life. Sometimes you just have to sit in your discomfort, until the discomfort becomes comfortable. #yogaeverydamnday #oneoeight (at China Town Washington, DC)

The worst predicted impacts of climate change are starting to happen — and much faster than climate scientists expected

This is some scary fucking shit. Our world is collapsing and sometimes I wonder how many people even really care? This is no longer a myth, a far away tale, it's fact and it's here. And yes, it seems overwhelming, and ridiculous. "How could I possibly make a difference when everything already seems so fucked up?" Well as a wise man, Desmond Tutu, once said: "The sea is really only drops of water that have come together." It's time for us, as a people, as a generation, as brother and sister, to come together and start making changes. Step 1: Read this. Don't skim it, read it, top to bottom. Step 2: Realize that there ARE things you can do, little things, yes, but a million little acts can create big change. Start doing these things RIGHT NOW. Turn off the lights when you leave a room; RECYCLE; better yet, compost; ride your bike, stop driving when you can avoid it; plant some flowers in your garden; eat a few less hamburgers. Make small sacrifices because I am truly afraid that one day (maybe soon) the sacrifices that we, as humans, will have to make, won't be small ones anymore.

So today I set out into the beautiful open space in Boulder, aiming to go on a short hike, maybe an hour or so. I was more prepared for a walk than a hike, wearing Toms and only holding about a liter of water. Maybe three hours into my 'walk', I was almost out of water, about a mile from the top of Bears Peak, elevation 8461, and definitely loosing steam. Smarter people than I would have turned back at that point, but I was determined to make it to the top and I was sure the way down would be shorter on the other side. My 'walk' ended up taking me six hours and took me through 12 miles of the Rocky Mountains. By the end of it I was so dehydrated that if I had been forced to go even 500 more feet, I'm fairly certain I would've passed out. I think you can take many lessons from this experience: 1. Always have more water than you think you need 2. Don't be afraid to ask people, even strangers, for help 3. Have direction in life 4. The road to the top isn't always easy 5. There is never really one final push, in life you usually just have to keep trucking along. Oh and also that I'm an idiot. At least the views were worth it🗻🌄🌊 #colorado #rockymountains #lifelessons (at Bear Peak)
