Читать книгу The Checklist Book - Alexandra Franzen - Страница 11

Once upon a time, I attended a mixed-level yoga class in Portland, Oregon led by my friend Justin. At the beginning of class, as we unrolled our mats and settled into the room, Justin smiled and told us:

“During this class, please know that everything I say is simply a suggestion. Not a rigid command that you must follow. Just a suggestion. If there’s a particular pose that feels really good for you, wonderful, stay in it and enjoy it. If there’s a particular pose that doesn’t feel good for you, then don’t do it. If there’s a pose that you want to modify in some way, go for it. Nothing is mandatory. Do what feels right for you. The whole point of this class is for you to leave feeling better than when you arrived. So, please take what you need and leave the rest.”

As you read this book, I invite you to adopt the same attitude. Everything I describe in this book—including how to make a Daily Checklist, Seasonal Checklist, Survival Checklist, Workout Checklist, etc.—is simply a suggestion. If something intrigues you, try it. If something doesn’t resonate with you, skip it.

Take what you need and leave the rest.
