2017 has started off with a bang...to say there has been A LOT of upheaval in my life lately would be an understatement. It seems transition and change have become a way of life as of late. As a result, I've had to practice embracing becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable.
It's a daily struggle; one that sends me to my yoga mat every morning, seeking refuge in asana and breath...a quiet reminder to put worries aside, for it does one no good to look to the past or overthink the future, as life is happening in this moment.
As I move forward into this year I've decided to strive to quiet my mind. Try not to focus so much on the coulda, woulda, shouldas; but to begin taking joy in the moments - early mornings; the moonlight as it washes everything in it's bright light, a hot cup of coffee on a cold day; catching up with a friend over a late lunch, or my dog's excitement and doggie smile when he meets a fellow pup on the trail.
Appreciating each moment as it comes, for that is where life is lived...
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." ~ Buddha
