42. Putting your order in

As trainees start to prepare for our yoga teacher training, I send over a few journal prompts, just to get cogs turning about the ups and downs of life, how and why things happen, and much more. One of these is about, what I call: putting your order in. I realise that this can be very emotive, but, I ask trainees to think of a time that something happened in their life, that they didn't want, and they didn't like. But, when they look back on it, they realise that that situation led to something good - maybe they learnt something about themselves, or they learnt a new skill, or they met someone... or something else. With that in mind, isn't it a good thing that we can't put our order in. If you could put your order in for exactly how you want your life to happen, you wouldn't have ordered that challenging thing, and so, you never would have had the growth that followed. ---💻 See the shownotes here🧠 Free lesson, all about the inner tug of war between your prefrontal cortex and your amygdala, get yours here---👋 work with me💛 1:1 therapeutic yogaPersonalised support for anxiety, sleep issues, stress or back pain.
