No Pain, No Change
Change is constant and guaranteed. Everyday our life is changing by itself, whether we like it or not. Some obvious and some not so obvious.
My shoulders / chest have been on 'fire' (inflamed) since December last year. Practise has been challenging but I would never stop. The pain of quitting is simply overpowering the physical pain itself. Quite an irony isn't it?
Instead I had to change the way I practise. Slow down, be mindful about my body, my breath and my mind. Through the years of practise, I have come to understand pain comes before pleasure. Whenever there is pain, something else will take over and shift will take place. At least it has always been for me since I started the practise.
I am in the process of taking my life to the next level. I am brainstorming my thoughts and learning new information - anatomy of shoulders, knees, doing resistance bands to strengthen my shoulders, learning pilates to explore new body awareness, picking up tips and tricks to improve my teaching skills, practising more consistently and intentionally (yes I am 90% almost there! - see this is what I meant - change is happening!).
Most importantly I have learned over the last few months to keep moving forward and not let the past define me. I am writing new stories about myself and who I want to evolve into (next). I am pushing my own limitations and boundaries. I am getting better and clearer each day with my own life. I am competing with myself. I am taking my life to the next level! I am creating the life I want to live very intentionally.
Every single DAY, small steps towards my vision and purpose.
