Everything is Temporary

Everything is temporary. I have said this to myself so many times in the last five years when life has been challenging...sleepless nights with a newborn, a non-existent home practice, working from home while caring for a toddler, a messy disorganized home, social distancing, school being out of session for months, not seeing friends or family.

Hard moments feel like they are the new normal and will last forever.

But it always shifts and becomes something new. Just like the seasons.

• If you are working from home while caring for children and it is freaking hard, remind yourself that this is temporary.
• If you do not have a home practice right now, remind yourself that this is temporary.
• If you do not have the oomph to wear anything other than sweat pants while you work from home, remind yourself that this is temporary.
• If your budget is all over the place and you know you need to meal plan but haven't done so yet, remind yourself that this is temporary.

Our lives are not fixed. We are not static beings. We are dynamic and fluid.

And like the seasons, everything in our life is temporary including our thoughts, habits, environments, and circumstances. It's always shifting.

If you pay close attention, you'll notice that you are, at all times, naturally looking for balance...in your breath, in your body, in your posture, in your life.

You have a natural propensity for balance.

So trust that you will find your way back to center. You will integrate a home practice back into your life. You will wear regular pants again. You will sleep through the night again. You will meal plan again. You will see your friends and family again.

And that too will be temporary because things are always in motion.

Just trust that you have an innate sense of balance and a powerful ability to course correct. Follow this inner compass and you will find center over and over again.

If you are interested in creating more balance in your life, I want you to join me in the Brave New Yoga Membership.

The Brave New Yoga Membership is where you will learn how to create and sustain a home practice, have access to over 100 yoga classes, take live classes every week, and be a part of a community that wants you to succeed. This month in the membership we are focusing on Balance, how to create and honor it both on our mats and in our lives.

And remember to embrace the wobbliness of life for it is an integral part of balance.

Love, Amanda
