Whoa, daddy, 2014 was chock full! New baby, new business, new house, new shoes! Love a new pair of heels, haha! Ummm, things have been a little busy to say the least.
What else..... You! Lots of you are new to my life! Thank you for joining me on this wild and crazy ride... I have truly loved every minute of this journey as Exercising Balance grows. I am looking forward to offering some new products in 2015 and announcing a few conferences that I will be attending. I'll share more information with you in the new year. Yippee!!!
As we anticipate the fresh start of the new year, we are given the opportunity to begin anywhere. "Begin anywhere" is a phrase my dearest Kelly shares with her clients. What a beautiful statement where the possibilities are endless. The world, and more importantly, self discovery are possible because we can all begin anywhere. Wouldn't it be nice if we looked at each day as the start of a new year. If we woke up and felt that we could begin anywhere. If we trusted the abilities within us that allows us to begin, right where we are. We don't need to be more this, or more that. You are absolutely ready, just as you are, right now, to BEGIN.
I won't go into a pep talk on resolutions. I'm a big goal setter, but we'll let that go for now. This article offers a great perspective on setting the intention of how you want to feel, versus a one pointed focus on what you want to achieve or get out of your goal. Feeling and intuition are something that we discuss regularly in my prenatal yoga classes. A pregnant mom taps into trusting, wholeheartedly throughout her pregnancy and birth of her baby, that anything is possible. She replaces doubt with confidence, and fear with determination. What I also encourage my moms to believe is that they have all the strength they need within themselves. They contain all the peace they require to surrender to labor. They are born with a sea of wisdom and their birth story will unfold as it is meant to.
What if we each believed we had all the strength we needed. If we trusted that we have the clarity and wisdom to begin anywhere, to take on a new goal, a small step, or a big scary leap. Intuition, trust and confidence are characteristics not only specific only to prenatal yoga, they should be carried through each of our lives. We all carry these qualities within us and have the wisdom to utilize them, if we can quiet down enough to listen... My wish for you is that you truly see the strength, peace and courage you carry within yourself. It's there, trust me :)
I hope that this new year brings forward some amazing new energy, surprises and magic into your lives. Notice all the good that comes from trusting yourself, being kind to yourself and allowing yourself to begin. Then, open your eyes to what unfolds!
Wishing you Health, Happiness and a Funky Fresh 2015, my friends!
