Footprints in the Sand.
Past mistakes. Many of us have them. I know I certainly have a huge abundance of them. Sometimes it feels like I carry those mistakes around with me, Weighing me down... not giving me the freedom to move ahead. To forgive myself- to give myself the grace and understanding that I am human and I will continue to make mistakes.

As I was walking along a beach recently on vacation, I saw my footprints in the sand being Erased as the waves came up to greet the shore. I thought: what if I thought of my mistakes as footsteps in the sand... Mistakes that are behind me now that I cannot change. But I can change my perception of them. I can look at those steps as made in concrete... Permanent... Worse yet picking them up and carrying them with me and being weighed down by the Burden of them. Or I can look at those mistakes as footsteps in the sand... Every human leaves their imprint whether it's footsteps or in other ways. What if I chose emotionally to look at those footsteps as being erasable by the waves. Erasing my past mistakes mentally so that I have the freedom to move forward and create New. Create abundance. Create freedom of expression. Create a new life, instead of carrying around the past.

What if... Instead of viewing past mistakes as permanent, We looked at them as erasable. Able to be washed away...at least partially...at least for this moment...and then we have permission to erase again and again... not stuck in the past, but more free to move forward...

Food for thought!

Perspective is everything. How you look at the situation colors your perception of what's there. Yoga helps you clear your lens, so you can see more clearly, without past feelings/emotions/habits/etc coloring what you see. One way to do this is by focusing on your breath combined with yoga movement, trying to keep a one pointed focus on breath & movement together. Then, as you do this, you may notice past habits/feelings/associations coming up. This is the opportunity to gently hold the thought in your mind, kindly examine it, and see if this past habit still serves you now, or if it's an opportunity to perhaps change your reaction, change your habit, changing the way you see things, perhaps through a more clear lens.

Feeling Stuck? Health brings Freedom. Finding space brings Freedom. Ask yourself: what one thing can you do today to improve your health? what one thing can you do today to find space?

Health: perhaps eating some dark leafy greens, going to bed before 10pm, doing one push-up on the wall/desk/floor to build strength safely.

Space: stretching while inhaling to create space in the body, a quiet breathing meditation (like this body scan: https://youtu.be/hUYyWYIEKLg ) to bring space in your mind/emotions.

Both at the same time: walking outside, addressing the physical or emotional issue that's been on your mind, giving a genuine compliment to a stranger/acquaintance.
