Keeping Good Busy
I'm eased into the middle of writing Living Softly (my new book) and feeling so grateful to finally have the chance to get this practice down in words and be able to hand it to anyone interested. Good things take time to turn into things, and I'm just so grateful to have the chance to keep good busy along the way. A huge lesson I've learned and keep learning when I get impatient, is there is no need to wait for the good thing to happen because there is always something to do about it, to move toward it, right now. And it's essential to take good care of yourself along the way.
Every day we have a new practice on the Strala Yoga app. I do that because I NEED something good to do. I need this something that is productive and gives me energy to do all the other things I want to do and be there for Daisy and Mike and my family and everyone in our awesome Strala community. When we take good care of ourselves, so much more is possible. Friends that I haven't convinced to do yoga with us yet (I know) think it is bananas that I lead yoga every day. For me, it's the best solution to stay good busy and I love it.
You Don't Need a Rest Day from Taking Good Care of You
Being in the room with people, practicing, talking about how life is going, sharing about the power of softness, is my reward. There is no where else I'd like to be. And now that I've got Daisy and her pals hanging around doing the yoga sometimes, it's even sweeter.
So thank you for joining me, in person and online, whenever you can. Thank you for sharing these practices with your friends and community. You are always invited, and when you come, or push the button on your phone or computer to practice, you help me, not just by sustaining the strala community and creating a job for me, but for helping me feel better, more centered, connected, useful, expanded, and all the goodness feelings. Thank you.
love,
Tara
