I got a lovely reminder today as I led myself through yoga. I love to lean into the discomfort. When fears show up, when discomfort shows up I use it as alert and I go there. You can not hide from it, so lean on in!

i love this. i practice yoga daily, just making up my own routines & stuff, and if i haven’t practiced in a few days i’ll notice some tightness in certain areas.
tightness, to most people, is a sign of discomfort or weakness. but i see it as a chance to start again, to feel the strech-transformation that yoga provides all over again.
it’s not like i’m starting from scratch, but this little “tightness reminder” keeps me in check. i tend to get comfortable (& stuck) in routines/habit; when i “let myself” get a little tight, when i let myself vary from my routine, i am able to keep my practice new & refreshed.
habit & routine can be great, but they can also be limiting. i used to treat change & discomfort as enemies; to an extent, i still do. but i’m working on going with the flow, on excepting change & discomfort as part of the random, chaotic order of the world.
i know i’m rambling (i often do), but i just want to thank you for this awesome video post. it really validates what i’m trying to do right now — to lean into my discomfort, instead of letting it lean into me.
you’re awesome 🙂
