Try living with a yogi.
If you are looking for someone to live with, find a person who does yoga, who lives a yoga lifestyle. These kinds of people are always carrying a yoga mat with them and have a specific look on their faces that comes from inward peace and happiness. You might wonder how such people can bring bun and diversity into your life, but after you know them better, you will wonder how you can live a full-value life without them.
Live with a yogi. It is a way to a healthy and active lifestyle. Even if you are happy with your current habits, soon you will find yourself changing your mind. He won’t try to convince you, but you will come to your new outlook by yourself.
If you start living with a yogi, you will soon realize that everything you have been eating before is literally poisonous and it’s a mystery how you could possibly have survived eating what you used to call ‘food’. You will discover that the tastiest and most nutritious food you can find is vegetables, and that you won’t throw up if you drink a fresh mix of beets and spinach for breakfast. And you will actually love it because of the feeling it evokes in your body. What about fast food? Now you are sure that you will die if you try to eat a tiny bite of a Big Mac or French fries.
Living longer with a yogi will teach you that every problem has a creative and original solution. If you cannot think of a way to solve a problem, meditation is a perfect way of spending time on developing this solution. The yogi will make you sit in a lotus pose and empty your mind saying that the most simple and interesting solution will come to your mind by itself. If it doesn’t want to come when there is only one night left before your project is due, he will shrug his shoulders and go to bed while you will spend an uneasy night trying to carry it out in a usual and boring way without any innovations, but in time. Even though you will be angry and exhausted from a sleepless night, there is a positive experience gained: now you know whom you should not trust – yogis. Never tryst them when they want to teach you something, because they won’t tell you the little keys they know, and you will feel silly and unable to understand their supernatural logic. Focus on finding your own solution.
If you live even longer with your yogi, you will learn that you can go to sleep as early as nine pm and wake up at five am. You will also learn that no parties worth staying late and changing your schedule because of them. You will be the first one to leave because your yogi wants to leave, and your face will be the face of an offended child whose parents don’t let him play a little more. However, deep inside you will realize with astonishment that you actually want to go to sleep at nine more than to stay with all those noisy people.
You will learn that two strangers can become as close as loving relatives as soon as they find out that they both are yogis. You won’t be jealous if your yogi starts to hug a random woman on a street when you go out together; you will assume that they have seen each other in a yoga class somewhere in India. You will assume it and you will be right, because even if they have never talked in that class, they have an invisible bond that makes them good friends for the rest of their lives.
If you live long enough with your yogi, you will get used to seeing people tying themselves in a bundle. Moreover, you will not be surprised to see yourself tied in a bundle. At this point you will realize how lucky you are to live with a yogi, because you will be able to untie yourself only with his assistance.
Live an interesting life. You deserve a healthy life full of surprises and undiscovered secrets of wisdom. Live with a yogi. Even though you will never be the same again, you will be happy. You will see that being crazy does not necessarily mean that you should see a doctor; it may mean that you are having fun in your life, a lifestyle that is available only for a limited group of people.
