Truths & Love

Day 164.  This quote is so perfect for so many different things.  Take, me being a nurse, for example.  My patients probably don’t remember half the things I say to them about what it means if their Troponin is or isn’t elevated, or why their Potassium needs to be in range, but they remember that I smiled, treated them with love and dignity, and hopefully made their ER visit better.  Now apply this to being a yogi.  Both as a student and teacher. The exact words spoken to a student don’t land in brain or body unless the student actually can feel it and do it.  These little breakthroughs and lightbulbs going on are HUGE, because it changes your pose/practice/thought process/perception for-ev-er.  So instead of me beating myself up over fumbling my words or mixing up left and right, I’m going to LET GO and begin again.  If I can get out of my head and see students and speak to what I see, then hopefully a thing or two will land and they will remember how I made them feel.  When someone else can make me feel loved, happy, inspired, motivated, free, I am way grateful.  This is my next step in spreading the love. Oh, yeah!  The card!  I left this on the pillow of my guest bedroom bed for David, our houseguest for the night. David definitely knows how to make people feel good. Probably because he’s so awesome at being him self.  Thanks for the super awesome reminder to just be me.
