Intention over Expectation 🌱🌳✨️

I find that if I have an Expectation of how the day will look and the timing of things, then I am often in resistance to what actually shows up.

Feelings of frustration, disappointment, guilt and shame can arise.

However when I choose a word as my Intention for how I want to FEEL and BE for the day, I am a lot more accepting of how my day flows with life's challenges and changes.

It takes practice and awareness.
So when I feel things aren't feeling calm within my body and I feel overwhelmed, angry or just forcing things that aren't happening... I am able to:

🌿Take a breath
🌿Check in with the mindset that have lead to these emotions
🌿Feel what I need to feel and gain the wisdom that is there, within my belief systems.
🌿Discern what is helpful, true and kind and what is not

🌿And then I realign my thoughts with my intention.
🌿I carry out my actions, moving in a way that embodies the word I've chosen for the day.

By resetting in this way, I have found I am more at peace in mind, body and soul.

I have actually found, because I have more clarity, I am then more productive than when I'm trying to make it happen.

It may take longer, but it gets done and it actually takes less energy in the long run, because of the essence of how I go about doing it.

I have found visual reminder, like writing on the fridge or mirror, is also super helpful to bring me back to my chosen word 💓🌟💓🌟

A beautiful tool that I love to share with my clients... (especially when there are big transitions, like the start of a new school year or the arrival of a new sibling)...

is to have a shared journal in your home, for your children and yourself to write in. It can be such a powerful way to communicate.

Especially for those times when there is a lot of change happening or a lot of emotions.

It gives everyone the chance to express whatever they need to, without the stress of trying to pick the perfect time.

Sometimes children can find it hard to find that space in busy family life. Also to articulate, what they may not be able to understand themselves... so this can take the pressure off and hold space for deeper reflection and connection.

It can be used for all things big and small.

A love note, a question, a situation or struggle they need support with, or a goal or dream you or they have.

Daily, weekly or just whenever you or they feel called to write in it.

Such an easy way to create a space to be seen and heard, that can be a huge game changer for all 🪄

Let me know if you have something similar you do in your home?
I love that we can learn from each other as a community, how to foster more conscious, loving relationships 💞

Back at yoga today after the holiday break.
Yoga has this way of shining a light on all that needs to be seen, heard and felt. Creating space for peace and clarity to drop in 🧘‍♀️🌞

Its so much more to me, than just stretching and breathing.
Yoga was a catalyst for my journey into self enquiry and spiritual growth 🦋

Practising "yoga/ unity" on and off the mat.

The unity of mind, body and spirit
The unity of words, thoughts and actions being in alignment with my values, vision and purpose
The unity of connecting with those around us.
Always a safe space to be seen and heard and to do the same for others.
So much support on this journey.
I am reminded that we aren't meant to do this alone.
We learn so much from each others unique experiences and views.

And there are no coincidences, ever.

Always being shown, exactly what I need to know at the perfect time.
Namaste 🙏🏼✨️
