What happens if you change one thing in your practice? How does the body respond? Where does the mind go?⠀
⠀
I love adding one new element of movement to a practice that feels like it is an old friend. This action of change requires my mind to be fully present. I can't just go through the motions. ⠀
⠀
Small changes in our lives do the same thing. They help us to stay dialed ☎️ into here and now. For me, that is a gift because being fully in the now means I don't wake up tomorrow missing it. ⠀
⠀
Here I add a resistance band around the arms. Man did my arms have a lot to say 😬 ⠀

International Yoga Day has me thinking about why I practice. I practice because it has made me a better person. I am more aware, more compassionate, more giving. I laugh more, forgive more, connect more. I come to my mat because it has been the gateway to my most profound changes in how I exist in my body. ⠀
⠀
Ultimately, I know better and do better because of my practice. And my time on the mat has shown me there is always more to learn, and I can still do better. 🧘🏻♀️⠀

I was told the other day, ”You are always stretching.” ⠀
⠀
I am not sure if that is true, but I do take opportunities when I have them to check-in. Anyone can do this. You could stop scrolling Instagram (after your done reading this post 😉) and move. ⠀
⠀
Set an intention to be curious. Here is my 5 minute morning check-in. My spine is screaming for some extra ❤️. I will be spending 5 minutes throughout the day to give it what it needs.⠀

When is the last time you felt outside of your comfort zone? ⠀
⠀
This last week has had me opening up to many new things. I have found myself inviting fear to sit in the passenger seat. I was driving to a destination with someone telling me all the ways it could fail, all the ways I was not worthy, all the ways it was easier to stay parked. ⠀
⠀
I think there is some truth to the easy of staying in your bubble. But I have come to realize time passes quickly, and so does discomfort. This week's road was bumpy. I found myself highly vulnerable and exposed to rejection. There were moments I almost quit. ⠀
⠀
But then I didn't. I drove forward and came out on the other side, learning from failures and celebrating wins. ⠀
⠀
When do we throw in the towel? When do we stick it out? If I am honest, I think I have thrown in the towel more often than sticking it out in the past. However, I am going to work on pushing through the uncertainty and make my circle of comfort a bit bigger. ⠀
⠀
Fear will always be present, but our ability to handle it can evolve when we choose to embrace it as a passenger in our journey. ⠀
