Reflections – What do you see

Reflections – What do you see

What does your reflection look like? And do you care? Is it your image that you see. Is it your actions that you notice. Do you have the ability – to see your own uniqueness and beauty.

About 10 years or so ago, my children were playing travel soccer, I would go to the games and cheer them on. One day however, I went to watch a game where I was not emotionally attached to any player, and noticed how the parents were acting while cheering on their children. It was not a pretty site, and after a moment, a harsh reality hit me –  I look the same way while cheering on my own children and team. In my mind I thought that I was being supportive, encouraging the children to do their best, and overly enthusiastically applauding their successes. It was toooooo much and, It was my first real glimpse into my own internal awareness. 

As we move through life we sometimes live in our own head, and we lose the awareness of not only how we are in this world, but of our own true self. How do we really live and interact with those around us. Who are we deep in our core.

So my challenge for you today dear readers, is to start looking within, start paying attention to those automatic reactions, and habits. Start asking yourself why.  Why am I doing what I’m doing.  Do my action serve myself or others – simply – just start noticing.

Same Love – Live On and Be Yourself

Same Love – Live On and Be Yourself – Mackelmore

 

When practicing yoga, we come as we are, in our old or young bodies, physically and mentally strong or not.  However, we are that day, we go, we practice. Loving ourselves as we are. We are continually adapting to whatever life brings our way.  We do the same in life, we show up for work, or for our families, doing the best we can, that day.  Not always perfect, and sometimes extraordinary.  If we continue to do our best, over time, we can see the results of our sometime extraordinary moments that have built over time. 

To just go through the motions daily, over time will give us the same results as we have now. Action is needed for positive change to happen. Without action, without change, complacency sets in, thinking that this is all their is, all that we can hope for.  Becoming like the masses, that just settle in and complain. Be yourself – live – truly live! Enjoy every moment! Fill your heart with love, and do everything, from that loving perspective! With love for yourself, and love for others!

That’s what makes a life wonderful! Living from a happy loving heart and doing what you do best! So go live on and be yourself, and I promise, everything gets even better.
