For seven months I shared, laughed, and cried with some of the greatest people I've ever met. So graduating was a little bittersweet. I will miss being together with the entire group, but I'm also thrilled to be leaving the nest, teaching and living life knowing that these people will always be here. I will always be there for them too. I learned to question myself and my mind that never seems to quite down! I want to share 5 important lessons that I have learned in these months of sharing.
1. Choose Freedom First
This was a big one! What does it even mean? Well, instead of suffering and bitching at my job every single day, I now realize that without this job I can't do all the yoga I want or paint in my studio. And this job is not the only job I'll have; it was a major support during my training and serves as a support now as I continue classes at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I might even find my first clients here!
2. Accept Responsibility for all of your actions
yeah, I've messed up plenty of times and now I understand why and I know my triggers. more freedom!
3. Face everything & Avoid Nothing
I stopped avoiding confrontations and found my voice, a new assertiveness that I was scared of before.
4. It's not personal
Road rage much? Well, that guy didn't cut me off because he hates me. He's in a rush and I really could care less. Just don't hit my car, OK?
5. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for others
I really like this one because I have to remind myself of this everyday. When I don't feel like eating healthy I know that making a bad choice will hurt me and also affect the people I come in contact with, affect my yoga class and practice, and make me feel bad. So that brings much more purpose and intention for all the actions that I do in my life.
Amazing, right? My hope is that you will read these and perhaps relate them to your life. Peace and many thanks to my friends and family who have supported me through this journey.
