live in the present


this morning i started my day with a much needed sunrise yoga practice at my beloved studio with an awesome instructor.  in the beginning of class she talked about not holding on and harboring feelings about things in the past, not worrying about the future, but being here, now. living in the present.  i know it sometimes can be cliché, but i've really been struggling with this lately.  there is so much uncertainty in my future, and so many things in my past that i can never seem to let go of, that i forget that there is this beautiful day right at this moment. i really need to focus more on the things that are happening right now, instead of fretting over everything else.

it is so easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of life and lose sight of everything around you at this very moment. i need to work on not stressing over the things i can't change or control, tensing up when trials come my way and instead just letting everything come to me, move through me like my breath.

own it, embrace the chaos that is the present, breathe and let go of all that anxiety and worry.  namaste.

i love this. it's from one of my favorite places on earth, my amazing yoga studio.  after having a super fun practice yesterday, i remembered to take a pic of this little reminder on the door when you come in. no matter what kind of day i'm having, i always leave there feeling strong, joyful and replenished. 

what replenishes you? where is your little slice of heaven??
