You look happier. What changed?
Not much on the outside. Same lifestyle, same kids, same long days, same to-do list plus some.
What changed is how I move through it and how I carry it.
I used to move through my day in fight or flight mode set at autopilot. Always rushing through the tasks, waiting for a certain time of day, trying to check off all of the boxes I thought I had to check in order to be a “good mom”.
Yoga taught my nervous system it is okay to settle.
It taught me how to be more present with myself and my family and how to see the beauty in the small things.
It taught me how to take full breaths that go beyond my chest.
It taught me how to catch tension before it turns into a short temper.
It taught me it’s okay to slow down.
It taught me how to connect to my body and build a resilience I can use everyday.
It taught me how to love myself again.
It’s not perfect all the time and there’s always things to learn and progress in.
But I am happy where I am now.
Santosha (YS 2.42), or contentment. This isn’t happiness because life got easier. It’s happiness because I stopped fighting the life I have.
Follow for more yoga and strength. Because we can find a little inspiration in others journeys. 🫶
