I practiced yoga this morning with my tribe.
The support I open myself up to receive from them, sets the foundation for balance in my life.
Today, it occurred to me that the more open I am to others’ support, the more supportive I am able to be of myself.
Ultimately allowing me the opportunity to be a pillar of strength and inspiration for them too.
I am on an overall health and weight loss journey. This morning I meditated on it and took an impromptu yoga class.
I stood in front of the studio mirror in a sports bra and running shorts (Not my normal garb for hot yoga).
My initial thought was “Ewwwww, I’m so fat.”
As I moved through integration, I recognized the impact of my words and quickly shifted my thoughts to more loving and accepting thoughts.
As I moved with the asanas, so did my thoughts...
I didn’t look back or scold myself for the negative self-talk, I acknowledged, thanked and let go of my self-deprecating words.
As I flowed through my practice, I moved into a kinder and more gentle vision of acceptance and gratitude for my body.
For me, yoga is...
-Transformational
-Empowering
-Something to consider if you haven’t tried!
