100% Is A Breeze, 99% is a Struggle

100% Is A Breeze, 99% is a Struggle

I was doing an online yoga class the other day, and the teacher said this - that “100% commitment creates freedom and 99% causes struggle” - and I suddenly had a revelation.

It’s true, when I struggle, my heart is not 100% in it! I still do it, but I suffer, with the negative thoughts in my head.

If you’ve committed to something - are you 100% committed?

When You’re Struggling, You’re Trying Too Hard

When You’re Struggling, You’re Trying Too Hard

I cannot lie; I'm struggling with doing the things that needed to be done. And I'm choosing to be okay with my struggles because it may sound dire; but I'm not going to die from them.

That's the irony.

It's a moment to moment, struggle and not struggle, some days it's a breeze. Some days it's hard.

On the hard days, I'll give up trying hard because she I try too hard, it invites strain and struggle.

I will choose to try easy and just be.

Making Space For Something New

I’m celebrating what has been working, and letting go of what is not working so I can create space for possibilities.

There are going to be some changes on my online space - you won’t even notice them but I’m letting go of amipoweryoga.com and integrating my yoga classes into sophiexsanders.com (In case you’re wondering why the email address is different - this is why.)
