Empowerment: Believe in Transformation
May Theme: EMPOWERMENT
Week 1 Intention: Believe in Transformation
For May, the theme for my practice is Empowerment. During the first week, my intention as I practice and teach yoga is to Believe in Transformation.
Sometimes we need to let go of whatever it is that is holding us back from living our best life and having our best practice. How or what can you let go of to move forward and transform your life, practice, and intentions to be the most authentic version of yourself?
When I ask myself these questions, my first thought trails to my relationships. Am I putting enough energy into relationships with my loved ones? Am I allocating enough time for them? Am I making an effort to show up for them? These are the questions I constantly as myself to be the best version of myself to my friends and family. However, keeping in mind that I can spread myself so far until it becomes too thin.
I’ve realized recently that some of that effort may not be reciprocated as I actively make an effort for others. We all have busy lives which is understandable, but there have been some relationships that I have begun to distance myself from so that my other ones can flourish and I have to remind myself that that is okay. Transformation begins with letting go.
Another area of my life where I have reflected more is my career. As I close this chapter in my life in corporate America and transition into the service industry, I find myself in the gap. The lull between my transition, the gap in between. I let go of the fear of not having a stable, 9-5, Monday – Friday corporate job where I was comfortable and knew exactly what I was doing and began to venture into a path that is unknown to me but where I find my passion. I use this time to transform my ambitions into what I have dreamed of being.
As you read through this (and if you choose), I encourage and even challenge you to ask yourself how or what can you let go of to transform your life and yourself into your best version and optimize your practice.
