Surrender

I have been thinking about the concept of surrender today. In yoga practice, we are encouraged to let go of rigidly trying to control or perfect our poses.....and instead, surrender to whatever our best and most reasonable effort might be at that moment in time. We can release the need to "live up" to whatever preconceived ideas we have about our abilities and and simply be.

Whether we are on our yoga mats, or dealing with the ups and downs of daily life, we can let go of our need to get things 'just right' and let go of competition and judgmental thinking. When we do, we find a new level of freedom and space that allows new ways of thinking and experiencing the world.
May you be open to new ideas today!
