It is the times of hopeless desperation that shape and mold us into someone of depth.
This quote aids me in reflecting how can I stay committed to my self-discipline. Regardless of the situation, external noises, I choose to stay true to myself, anchoring to the routines that I have developed over time in order to keep me grounded, centered and engage. Putting into practice while embodying my yoga practice. Yoga is much more than asanas, physical postures, which is the third limb of yoga. There are five more and the foundation, ethical practices that allow us to evolve and shift into better versions of ourselves. Yamas and Niyamas are these ethical practices, the solid tools that we carry everywhere we go.
Tapas-Self discipline, the 3rd Niyama is the one that allows me to transform, tolerate and stay determined. It empowers me to make right choices, and stay in integrity even when no-one is around. For now, lets reflect on the following: Are you making choices that are indulgent, or making choices that build your strength and character?
With gratitude, sharing positive vibes. Namaste.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om
