What
an exciting week!
I have to be honest it took me a few days to get over the
madness that was kids yoga teacher training but those aches and pains were
definitely worth it. It was lovely to see the photos shared from the group,
which added to the countess memories of my own.
After
an intense weekend filled with fun and laughter I was surprised to find myself
a little off on Monday. Now I know that sounds very ‘girly’ but I did! I know
what I am doing is the right thing for me, for now, for my future, for my inner
curiosity but I think it was after being surrounded by such a lovely group of
people for a great training course, in a very intense setting I found I had a
bit too much me time on Monday. Which is actually a massive compliment to the
group I shared my teacher training with… I missed your warmth, your support and
your encouragement.
But
I quickly realised that just because you aren’t with someone all the time or
because a group isn’t together all the time the feelings and shared moments are
not gone. The real challenge is having the strength to trust in what you know
and feel in your heart related to a certain individual or group of people. It
comes back to that great phrase…’Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it
happened’. So although time moves on and life sometimes takes us on separate
paths we are all still very much connected through our experiences and feelings
until our paths cross again.
Sometimes
you just need to hear the things people are afraid to tell you, you need that
person who will say what everyone else is thinking. A very good friend pointed
out to me I have had a lot of change in my life recently, most of it I have
chosen and some of it has been the result of the choices I have made…. My reaction
was the fear or this change, of the unknown. Change can be scary but it can
also be exciting. Until I start to see the success, that is currently bouncing
around in my head, as a reality… I will question, I will seek to prove and that
is just part of me!
So
although I can’t answer all of those questions right now, I can be confident in
my decisions, in my judgment and my confidence. My strength this week was not
challenged or tested through my physical ability but rather through my mind and
my commitment to my choices. I did some great yoga classes this week and I felt
strong in each one and I mean strong in my poses too. I found the right level
for me and I committed to it and enjoyed the challenge of focusing my mind and
using my breath. I took it pose by pose not thinking of the next one in the
sequence and lived in the moment.
Stay focused
Trust your instincts
Remember who you are
Embrace the challenges
Never give up
Give yourself a chance
Take every leap with confidence
Have happiness at the heart of
everything you do
Namaste
