Show up. In today’s video, Adriene said that showing up is the most important – and perhaps the most challenging – part of our yoga journey. Today, I showed up for myself on and off the mat.
The things that keep me from showing up to my yoga mat are the same things that keep me from showing up in my life as my authentic self:
- Fear
- Over-commitment
Fear
I am afraid of failing. Today on my yoga mat, I had moments where I felt weak. Moments where I compared myself to my younger self. Moments where I wanted to say, “I can’t.”
I showed up for myself. I called myself strong. I called myself brave. I said, “I can.” I choose to embrace and face my fears in 2023.
Over-commitment
I try to do too much and spread myself too thin. I multitask and overthink, which diminishes my productivity and prevents me from being fully present. To create more time, I let things like yoga and self-care slip through the cracks.
Today, I made time for yoga and creating a vision board with my friends. I choose to be purposeful and present in 2023, showing up as my authentic self.
