I’m writing this about five minutes after having bawled to Stevie Wonder in the middle of my yoga practice today. Believe me when I say that wasn’t how I expected my yoga practice to go, but that’s how it went. And I’m so glad it did go that way.
It dawned on me that I’ve been trying to make a bunch of drastic changes to my life (of course, with the main goal being to become a better person) and that I am just tired. I am tired of trying to change every single element of my life to something “better.” I can become better one day at a time. I can be nicer, kinder, more considerate, more decisive, and just an overall better human being one day at a time. I don’t have to be the Holy Grail human being today. I don’t ever have to be the Holy Grail human being. Because at the end of the day I’m going to still be just me. Whether that is a nicer, happier, kinder person or not. I don’t have to beat myself up for every setback. And I don’t need major changes by tomorrow. I just need to do what I can now. And that’s enough.
This post isn’t as deep or as inspiring as some of my others, I know. But it had to be said. And I am happier now that I’ve said it.
Love yourself as you are. Love yourself through the ENTIRE journey.
