Now is the perfect moment to begin again.
After a series of injuries and health set backs, I finally unfurled my yoga mat. I kept moving it around my house to encourage me to take up a once vibrant practice, but what came was avoidance. Years of it.
My body wasn’t the same. My heart wasn’t the same. My mind wasn’t the same. My motive wasn’t the same. And all these things culminated in the grief of all that had been lost to me. My mat was a reminder of who I wasn’t, so I avoided it.
But avoiding grief of who I wasn’t sealed off the threshold to welcome who I was becoming.
By giving myself permission to begin again, right where I am, I dispelled the lies of needing to “become good enough” to start. I simply started. Because I already am good. And I already am enough. And though the start is slow and clumsy, there is grace when learning new things. And becoming a new person. And beginning again. And again. Always.
THIS BEAUTIFUL WAY
