Holy crap! Now what to do with it? by @crystal.cejka

At some point, wellness became a very elaborate way to avoid asking the obvious question:

Do I actually like my life?

Because no amount of lemon water, journaling, cold plunges, supplements, meditation, or 5 AM productivity is going to fix the fact that you hate your job, resent your schedule, dread half your obligations, and keep saying yes to things you don’t want to do.

Sometimes the answer isn’t adding another ritual.

Sometimes it’s subtracting the thing making you miserable.

When did “registered” become synonymous with “more qualified”?

I’ve never believed RYT automatically means more than CYT. Yoga Alliance registers teachers. Your training program certifies you.

Now that Yoga Alliance is changing how it categorizes teacher credentials, maybe it’s time we question the hierarchy we built around those letters in the first place.

I wrote more about it on Substack.

The Yoga Alliance Problem Was Never the Letters After Your Name.

Sometimes I get so busy running the studio I forget to take a moment and enjoy the studio.

Somewhere along the way, we started using “trauma” as a catch-all word for anything painful, uncomfortable, triggering, disappointing, or hard.

But discomfort is not automatically trauma.

Sometimes you’re anxious because something matters.

Sometimes you feel rejected because rejection hurts.

Sometimes conflict is just conflict.

Sometimes a boundary makes you uncomfortable because you’re not used to having one.

Sometimes growth feels awful.

And none of that means the experience isn’t real or valid.

It just means we don’t have to pathologize every difficult human emotion in order to take it seriously.

You are allowed to be uncomfortable without turning the discomfort into a diagnosis.

Not every hard feeling is trauma. Sometimes it’s just part of being alive. by @crystal.cejka
