Dear Friends In Yoga,
This year has brought much joy and pain. It's only November, and I already find myself wishing away 2013. I realize I need a shift in perspective!
I find it interesting that many of us associate the upcoming holidays with an opportunity to practice more gratitude, giving, and transformation. What if, instead of celebrating these acts on selective dates, we engaged in loving ourselves and the world every day? Daily gratitude can lead to daily giving, which often leads to transformation on scales both large and small.
This month, I commit to treating every day as though it were Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years combined! Instead of looking to the unknown future for happiness, I will use present time to "just be" with family and friends, giving a receiving love for the sake of it, and remain open to whatever a new day may bring. It is always within our power to choose how we feel and when we feel like our power is slipping away, getting on the mat can help us restore it. Are you itching for a shift? If so, I hope to see you on the mat this month!
With gratitude,
Megan
