The next area of my life that is moving forward is in my Yoga Practice. Since I started doing Hot Yoga I have felt an overall shift in my attitude. I think my kids and my husband can verify that for me. I have become more intentional with my words which transfers into my actions. I am trying to teach my kids to be more positive and when fear arises I want them to know how to talk about those fears and face them. Yet here I AM, and I am choosing to move forward in my passion for Yoga and my passion for worshiping God. I want to become a certified Holy Yoga instructor. Can I just sit here and list my fears?
1. Where am I going to get the money?
2. What if I am not strong enough to be a instructor?
3. I doubt myself. I say I can't even get the right alignment for this simple pose, what am I thinking?
4. What if after I get certified I can't find a job. I will have wasted all that money for nothing.
5. Am I capable of really making a difference?
That is just a few of my thoughts, my fears. I believe everything will work out, especially if this is a path that God put in front of me. I can do all things through HIM which strengthens me. Doubt and fear will always be in the back of my mind, but I can't feed it. I can't give into it because then I will never become certified and I will never be able to encourage others on the MAT. When we are to face our fears I think it is wise to face them with realistic views. Ask the question "what is the worse that can happen?" Most of our fears are from our imagination. Things that haven't yet taken place. That is why so many people struggle with change. They find security in staying in the same place, the same position. But you can't grow without change. You can't learn or expand in your life if you are not willing to move forward. My "one word" for 2015 is Moxie. Moxie means a Force of character, determination or nerve. I want to be a Moxie girl. I want to move forward to grow with force, with determination. 2016 is right around the corner and I don't know what it holds, but I can say that for me, 2015 has been all about moving forward, personal growth. I hope you choose to move forward instead of staying stagnant. One of my Yoga Instructors will say at the end of class "you can move forward and grow, or step back into safety." I choose to grow.
