Lightening Up

Lightening Up

There really are no rules for one’s journey.  But lightening up is a good idea.

One recent morning I woke up feeling overwhelmed and extra thinky.  Before starting yoga I found myself going to Pandora and choosing the Average White Band station.  Once the beat of JJ Jackson’s “But It’s Alright” started I immediately felt better.  As Earth, Wind & Fire’s live version of “That’s the Way of the World” played I was giggling.  And that resulted in feeling a nice connection. 

Rules limit me!I believe that yoga and many things labeled as “spiritual” are wonderful. But often my doing these “spiritual” things isn’t when I feel most connected.  It’s more the mindset I’m in when I’m doing these things.  As I go about my day my mindset is really important.  Whether it’s singing in the car, painting, smiling at someone, taking a Zumba dance class or feeling a connection with a person I just met.  It’s always there.  And, it’s in the really stinko moments as well. 

For me, spirituality is in every moment of every day and how I choose to be in those moments.
