Happiest when the sun is shining, but also appreciate and acknowledge that life isn’t always blue skies and daisies, and neither am I.
There’s a very human instinct to turn away from discomfort. As a yoga teacher there’s an extra tendency to want to soften it, reframe it, add a “positive spin.” It often feels like there’s an expectation for me to be calm and bright all the time.
And I’m here to tell you that that isn’t real. (Soz!)
Joy and sadness live side by side.
Strength and softness take turns.
The practice isn’t about chasing the light and avoiding the dark. It’s about learning to sit with all of it.
Letting yourself feel what’s actually there, without needing to fix it or resist it or cover anything up is such a big part of the practice, and is exactly where the real benefits lie.
And even as a positive minded person, I know better than to force myself to be positive about everything because I know that there’s nothing wrong with feeling low, frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure sometimes. It’s all part of being human.
So I’m not here for constant sunshine and daisy chains. I’m here for truth, for presence, and the full rich spectrum
And you’re allowed to be here for that too, as well as enjoying the sweet sunshine ✌️
