It's very easy to get wrapped up in life and feel out of balance. Here are a few aspects that you may be able to relate to and reflect on. Sometimes we may; Say "Yes" when really we want to say "No" Do what we think we 'should' be doing, but our heart tells us otherwise. Ignore the messages our body sends us and continue to sit down when we need to move, or push ourselves when we need a rest Not listen to our minds telling us we are stressed and carry on with the same patterns regardless Spend time and energy on things we are not passionate about Always put others first and feel resentful, neglected and not respected by our-self Spend time on social media, comparing the best parts of others
If you are feeling under par at the moment you may be able to relate to this yoga post by Rachel Scott, who has like myself, suffered with anxiety and depression. I came across it a while ago and it struck a chord with me. One of the things I loved about this post was her honesty and for making me realise it's ok to show up, be myself and continue to live life without fearing I am not in the right place for x, y, z. Come to yoga and connect with who you are right now! In my classes there are no set expectations. What I do hope is that you will show up and be yourself - I want my classes to offer you "me time" rather than another situation where you may feel you have to put a brave front on.
Watch This is Yoga (1min 51secs), to get a glimpse into the grander scale of yoga off the mat. In fact, it doesn't even include a yoga pose! Is this something that connects with you? Ps. At time of posting, I have never tried any of Lululemon's products, the business that created this clip.
