Completely Blessed

photo (13)These days I feel totally, utterly and completely blessed! I don’t have boat loads of money, or a big fancy car, but I have everything I need and more.  I’ve learned to live differently than I had before. I try to only buy, keep, or be around quality.  Not quantity, but quality. My friends are good people.  I try to live in a state of contentment with gratitude.  Grateful for what I have, and it works, I feel truly grateful for what I have and feel content and blessed.  But I’ve recently been thrown a little bit for a loop. It’s become easy to ride the ups and downs of life with the small things in life, like someone cutting you off in traffic,  the rude person behind you in line, or the unexpected bill. Recently however, my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time –  this time stage 4.  Finding that place where I’m accepting of what is at the moment, has left me feeling a little uncomfortable.  My initial reaction of feeling like I was going to throw up, seems so much more appropriate. Hindsight and past experience has proven to me that worry, sadness, and despair, will not help me or her.  My yoga training and practice helps reminds me to not put a future outcome to what may be, but to count our blessings and celebrate what we have now. I keep having to remind myself of that… hope your doing the same.

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.

Yoga and Inner Peace

Stillness

 

We really have nothing that we need to learn to find inner peace. It’s more that we need to become aware, and acknowledge, that everything we need, and everything that is essential to us; this luminance, this wisdom, and this peace, is already present inside us. Yoga helps us with this – helping to bring us to that place of stillness so that we can tap into it.
