Letting go.
Yesterday I took my first visit to Dunino Den.
Some of you will remember this magical spot from past Winter Retreats.
When I was there I hung a clootie to let go of something I didn't think I would need to release yet.
The quiet and dark days around the solstice gave me time to feel rather than think.
To be rather than to do and to plan.
And in this softening it became really clear to me that something I thought I "had to keep doing" was actually not very healthy for me right now.
It was a tough decision to let go of it and to change the plans. I felt like I was really letting some people down.
But at the same time I know dropping this will give me more time and energy to focus on my well-being, my new life situations and most importantly on showing up for all of you as the best Yoga teacher and space holder that I can.
This is all to say, in all the talk I've been doing of late about resting and turning inwards. I do understand that this is not an easy task.
That when we feel into what's right rather than just logically figuring out ways to "do it all" sometimes we feel like we are losing things or letting people down.
But this is the work.
Soft isn't always easy.
Doing less can feel harder at first.
Prioritising what you can do well can feel like failure.
It's not.
Think less
Feel more
Do the hard work of letting go.
It's worth it.
