Whether it's landing on Mars for the first time or accessing a previously impossible yoga pose, anything is possible once we commit ourselves.
...until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise ocurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
~Goethe
I'm navigating a new normal; two jobs, teaching, a relationship, starting a business, school, the Self Expression and Leadership Program, and of course, taking care of my own self. Walking my talk is challenging at times-but when I get really present to my commitments, suddenly I'm able to expand myself enough to encompass everything (AND get enough sleep AND practice yoga AND lay in the park two days in a row with dear friends).
I felt a little physically run-down this week, and let me tell you, it felt so good to give myself permission yesterday to simply rest rather than attend the sweaty Vinyasa class I've been going to on Thursday afternoons. Being committed to health means knowing when to rest just as much as knowing when to charge ahead!
How do YOU stay connected to your commitments? When you feel overwhelmed, what do you know to do to restore balance?
Have fun out there~
