Namaste dear friends,
Do you ever have that "I know I'm here right now, but I'm really ready to be over there..." kind of a feeling? Be it a goal, a mindset or perhaps getting back to another way of being? Well, it's quite a common feeling especially at the start of the New year, post-holidays.
From our recent arrival into the Gregorian New Year we find ourselves ready to celebrate the Lunar New Year! This is an auspicious time to gain clarity on how you're going to move from "here" to "there". We don't mean grand plans. In fact, quite the opposite of that.
If you're ready for that journey, we encourage you to start by creating a mantra. Choose a word or short phrase that you can call upon when making your decisions. A mantra can be very helpful in guiding even the simple day-to-day actions. Sure, you may have long term goals but remember that it's the continuous small steps that carry us forward.
Choose to take those small steps in the direction that feels right, each day, each moment. You need not know the destination or time of arrival at your particular stop, but keep going... and we promise you'll see the results!
While you're at it, just like a good yoga practice, remember to pause once
in a while and take it all in.
It's perfectly okay to celebrate even the littlest of steps.
With love,
Annelize & the team at Shakti Yoga
