There are 2 kinds of changes: changes that we choose, and changes that we don't choose (but have to deal with.)
Where is your mind at the beginning of 2024? Are you in a dreamy, planning place? Thinking about all the changes that you are
CHOOSING?
Or are you feeling anxious or uncertain... worried about all the changes that might come this year that you DIDN'T CHOOSE?
Let's be honest... we're never going to have an entire year with just one of these flavors. It's always going to be a mix...
... Where we are steering the ship + where the tide wants to take us.
... The seeds we plant + what blew over from the neighbor's yard.
... The plans we have for ourselves + the plans the Universe has for us.
But that's the magic... It's the "what we choose" + "what the Universe has in store for us" that's always more
incredible than anything we could have planned...
AND it's the "what we choose" that's going to put us in a better position to be prepared when the "what we didn't choose" hits the fan...
BUT you do have to choose.
Because if you don't, if you're just waiting to see what happens so you
can react... you get stuck. And that stuckness does not feel like life... like evolution.
It feels like... the opposite.
It feels like being scared, and being stuck, and not having control over your life. Ugh. Not what I want to encourage more of...
It's this freedom to
change, and freedom to choose - this is the beautiful thing about being a human. We get to have some choice about how we evolve. You get to have some say into the next version of yourself that you're stepping into.
It's so easy to forget this... and to get caught up in the day-to-day, just trying to triage all the stuff of life.
But make
no mistake... change is what life IS... whether you are choosing your next growth, or choosing by NOT opting into that growth.
At YogaAnatomy.net, we made a big change this year, in moving from open enrollment to fixed enrollment periods for our flagship course, YogaAnatomy.net Principles.
Is it scary? A little. We've been doing it a different way for 14 years. But does it feel like growth?
Yes. It feels like growth.
