I have been very lucky to have incredible teachers along this path, with the biggest shout out to my first teachers Jamie and Dulce (The Yoga People) One of the things that Yoga has taught me so far is that our world is a mirror to what we are putting out there. Shining light on the parts we like to keep in the dark. It is often so hard, unbelievably hard to go there and wake up to the realities of how we are living, it is much easier to stay in denial and keep choosing the same old choices. It is highly likely that by doing that we will get through life just fine, but what will we have learnt this time round? VERY LITTLE. And how much will we have grown? VERY LITTLE. And this is what makes me so sad. I don’t want to continue making the same crappy numb choices. I want to LIVE, presently, with passion, compassion and purpose. When we wake up in a bad mood, treat our lover like crap, moan and groan about the day ahead, that then spirals into one of those “shitty days” where everything goes wrong!!! Is it any wonder!?! Have you ever noticed that when you are in a bad mood and a bit bitchy, that the whole world feels like it has turned round and been a bit bitchy to you?? Have you noticed that when you bump into someone on the tube or scowl, everyone bumps into you, you drop your phone, smash your screen and get the wrong order? Yes! Because you are what you give out. Have you noticed that when you smile, everyone smiles back at you? So what really inspired me to write this little post, is, just please, I want you to ask yourself why you are saying what you are saying and choosing what you are choosing. Do you want to continue to go round in a circle of a bad karma shit storm? Or do you want to beam light and feel light beam back at you? Of course everyone has bad days, moody days, knackered days, we are not all Mother Theresa I understand. But you can make small choices everyday to help you turn things round and stop being the victim of your life. Life does not happen to you, you create your life. You really do get what you give, so, put amazing things out there, be kind, and when you are not kind, ask yourself WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM? Allowing those dark parts to be accepted, loved and integrated so they don’t come out and bite ours and the person beside us’s butts all time! Love to you, be kind and have courage. Steffy xxx
