Taking a break from leatherworking/journals/chainmaille to digest my weekend ... I completed my yogafit level one teacher training (the last of my life goals ... currently cooking up some new ones😂) and I am ... I don’t know yet. I’ve been following my yoga journey for the past year and a half and it has been such a huge part of the healing process; I have been through anorexia, compulsive exercising, PPD, depression, and now anxiety, and one of the reasons I am now completely in love with this training method (initially I chose it because that’s how my mom has pursued her own certification) is the transformational language-as you may imagine, the words I have used to and about myself have never been loving or kind, and having been very, very competitive I have not done a good job of paying attention to what certain body parts are saying, and that has resulted in so many injuries. Changing the way I talk to myself about my journey, changing the way I view modifications and props or even taking certain poses completely out of my practice ... I have such peace right now. Which is nice, since being a small business owner means I frequently judge myself against last year’s numbers and there’s always another destination to get to, and it’s hard to enjoy the journey ... I like that at least one aspect of my life has no end goal, it just is❤️ #yoga #yogafit #yogaisajourney #artbywordsremember https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8VYukgqmE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1giekuy3f0apz
