🫶 Shifting the narrative behind why you want to work out, eat better, or change your lifestyle is everything. If those desires are rooted in self-criticism, whether spoken or unspoken, they will likely hold you back in the long run.
🌱 But when that narrative comes from self-love and curiosity instead, doors begin to open. You can meet yourself exactly where you are and grow from there.
Our yoga practice encourages us to reflect: How can we show up for ourselves today? How do we love ourselves, so that we can show up for our family, friends, and neighbors tomorrow?
In the last few days of the 20th century, author and theorist bell hooks published "All About Love: New Visions." Her work continues to be relevant, and today feels an especially appropriate one to share it: "The light of love is always in us, no matter how cold the flame. It is always present, waiting for the spark to ignite, waiting for the heart to awaken and call us back to the first memory of the life force inside a dark place waiting to be born—waiting to see the light."
Let your yoga practice help you find your light. Let it guide you in loving yourself, and in turn, loving your neighbor. Let it encourage you to change the world.
