There is no point in stressing over things you can’t control. The more you obsess about things that are outside of the realm of your power, you the more anxious and out of control you feel. It can be hard in the midst of struggle to have faith in the bigger picture and trust that the universe really is working for the greater good and your good too. But that’s exactly when all your training as a yogi matters most.

When things feel hopeless, when no path laid out before you leads to peace, when it all just feels difficult and exhausting, don’t give up, but don’t force it either. If you have done everything within your power and it’s still not done the only thing left is to let it go. I can’t tell you how hard this is for me. When I was first practicing Pinchamayurasana I had to learn the hard way. Once I tried this pose nearly 20 times in a row. It got worse and worse and was both belligerent, punitive and aggressive towards myself. It took me nearly two years of practice to find the balance. One thing I learned along the way is that every pose has its time, just like every flower has its time. No amount of stressing, forcing or pushing will change it. The key to a good practice is learning how to be at peace with yourself and your body right now, with whatever strength or lack thereof, whatever size or shape you are, and also to keep practicing with a heart full of love.

A good way to measure whether you’re operating from love or fear is to see how you feel about yourself in the moment. If there’s a hint of shame and blame, it’s probably a good indication that you’re trying to force it. If you’re feeling hopeful, joyful, expectant, energized or peaceful, you are probably operating from love. What can do you if you notice you’re off track? Well, I recommend letting it go. Stop the activity or conversation your engaged in. Trust that it will eventually work out. Then, go do something that brings you pure joy. You might go play on the beach ?
