Take Your Yoga Off The Mat And Into Mom Life
I was having a day yesterday and lay in bed awake last night (not unusual for this ADHD mind).
I was feeling out of sorts.
Anxious. Worried. Sad.
Lots of different feels in a day.
So, I got up and settled into the sofa with a book and let the feelings come. Feeling the anxiety, feeling the worry, feeling the sadness.
I sat with it. Looked at it. I felt it.
Then I remembered how I felt on my mat in the morning. Strong. Confident. Connected. Peaceful.
I sat with it. Looked at it. Felt it.
And, I started to feel better.
It got me thinking about how living a vision driven life is a lot like taking your yoga off the mat and into Mom Life.
It's a practice. It's a moving toward what you want rather than pushing away from what you don't.
5 Steps for Bringing Your Yoga Off the Mat and Into Mom Life
- Notice where your feelings reside inside your body. Allow them to be uncomfortable. Instead of giving in to the urge to get rid of them, let them be there.
- Imagine the feelings moving through your body. Imagine a river of feelings. Let them pause here and there to collect any other pent up feelings.
- Give them to Mother Earth. Let the feelings move out through the bottoms of your feet. Let them be neutralized by Mother Earth (don't worry - she can handle it all).
- Bring to mind a time when you felt amazing. Maybe it was on your yoga mat this morning. Maybe it was on the beach over the summer. A time when you felt like all was right with the world.
- Imagine you’re in that moment. Feeling amazing. With all 5 senses. Like all is right with the world.
Practice steps 4 & 5 regularly. The more you practice the easier it will be to bring your yoga off the mat and into Mom Life.
Shine Brightly,
