My laser eye surgery story isn’t quite comic book-worthy, but here’s everything that happened, in case you want those powers too.

When is the last time you found yourself outraged by a situation, where you reacted quickly and aggressively without thinking about the outcome? We’re all human, and we all do it. Yogi or not.
The problem with reacting so aggressively to situations is not only for the receiver, but for YOU. Your jaw starts clenching. Your entire body goes into stress, causing: inflammation, high blood pressure, muscle tension, and overall negative emotions. Who has time for that?!
Learning to say two simple words to yourself – which might not be very ‘yogic’ of me, but very real – can change the way you think. F*CK IT. Simply. I’m not talking about not-caring-about-anything-in-life-anymore-and-foregoing-your-opinions. I’m talking about being in a situation that can easily put you over the edge, taking a deep breath, saying f*ck it (to yourself)… then taking the time to think about how you really want to react.
THIS is how I’m defining F*CK IT:

It can be something as simple as someone cutting you off on the highway or your sister borrowing your shirt without asking. Or, something more elaborate like an argument with your partner or someone stealing a great idea you had.
