Drop The Control?

Let go of control. Let go of expectation. Let go of that to do list. 

Just let go. 

&

Simply be.

Live in the flow of life. Let things happen, and adapt when they do. If that is hard for you, take this as a challenge, and overcome it (New Years resolution anyone?). Do not try to control every situation. Do not expect a certain outcome. The things in our life happen for a reason and we must learn to accept that. We must learn how to see each situation for what it is. To be present in the moment. Work with what we are given. 

If you do this, you live life more freely, more full of love. 

You understand that life just is, and it will happen whether we try to control it or not....so why add the stress of assumption? 

Let life flow through you, let love come in. 

Let go, let go, let go. This world is filled with light and happiness - if you are to control anything, make it the conscious decision to be happy. Your soul is stronger than you think and you have the power within you to choose happiness. To choose to make the best of every situation. 

I invite you to go out and do just that. Let go of control. Simply let life be, live in the flow of it, and accept all that is. See the beauty all around you. 

Relish in the happiness of this unconditionally loving universe.

A Single Step

Begin with a single step.

Treat your yoga practice this way. The first step in mastering an advanced pose is simply giving it a try. And knowing that there is no such thing as failure. If you fall, that's great...you're one step closer already because you tried, you gave it your all. And you can try again. Don't let fear stop you. 

Start right now, take the step - take a leap of faith. Trust in your body, for your body can do amazing things. 

Drop expectation, drop judgement, drop your ideals, drop jealousy. Don't look at anyone else's practice.  Pick up strength, pick up determination, pick up faith, pick up trust. Look at your practice and your own journey in yoga. 

What can you work on to help you achieve the advanced pose? Never ever give up. Be patient. 

Feel good in your practice. Trust your body and listen to it. What does it need right now? Don't push yourself, with each day and each step you take, you are inching closer to your goals.  Yoga teaches us to love our bodies, to love where we are, right here, right now. 

Take the step....hell, take a leap. Jump in. Enjoy the ride.
