Everyone has days when they question themselves and misplace the drive and determination they once had. 

There are days when I need something to lift my spirits and give me reassurance that what I am doing is right. 

Today, one of my students said she wasn’t going to be back.  Of course I asked why?  She was feeling discouraged about her growth from yoga and questioning if it was really doing her any good.

It is always difficult hearing my student’s struggles but it is human nature to feel disheartened when things are not the way imagined.  I listened to her concern and just asked her to take some time to reflect on her journey thus far and be grateful for how far she had come from beginning a few months ago.  She said she would and left with a smile. 

I have a feeling after reflecting she will be back.

Everyone gets down sometimes, I even question things once in a while.  I have put together some of my inspiration to keep my disciple and will power strong in questioning times.

If you are feeling like what you are doing isn’t benefiting you or feeling like you can’t get better, you can.  Please just take time to reflect and read what inspires me, maybe it will inspire you as well.

• There are no competition or judgment in Yoga.
• The past has no power over the present moment.
• The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.
• Yoga is not about self-improvement. It’s about self-acceptance.
• When you make a choice, you change the future.
• The quieter you become, the more you can hear.
• The attitude of gratitude is the highest Yoga.
• The mind is above time and space. If you decide not to complain it will immediately compensate you with intuition.
