Life is currently full and I have to be honest that sometimes it’s really hard. It’s hard to balance all of the things I’ve chosen to take on (including posting on this platform) and the things that are out of my control that still need to get done.
But Yoga always has a lesson for me and lately I’m leaning hard into acceptance (Santosha). It really feels like the only way to navigate the current stage of life with grace. Keep showing up with gratitude, find joy daily, notice when my stress levels are high, have a lot of conversations with my husband, pause and be present with my daughter, get really efficient at working during nap time.
It’s also helping me realize that the things that I used to need to fill my cup are different now. I used to need to surf for hours, work out and do yoga every day, go on solo beach walks…now? It’s a nice slow morning with my family, a walk on the park with Livi, a cold beer at the end of the day, a 20 minute sauna session.
Coming to terms that when life changes, we get to change too, and lucky us that we get to continue figuring out how to live our best lives amidst chaos.
All this is to say that if you’re in a stage of life that feels hard, different, chaotic…stop fighting it. Lean into it with gratitude. The only truth is that when you’re in it, you’re in it, so might as well make the best of it 💙
