Sometimes life is hard. So is Chaturanga Dandasana. Learn to smile through them both and you’ll be so much happier. _ Today I fell out of a few poses while practicing and I laughed at myself. My next thought was, why can I laugh it off so easily when I fail and tumble out of a yoga pose but when I fail in life I so easily tumble down into a black hole. Truthfully I’ve had to learn to laugh at myself during my practice failures. I used to take the asanas so seriously so that if I fell out of one I felt like a total failure for the rest of the day. I’m not sure when it happens but something shifted. I realized I wasn’t trying to earn my worth by succeeding in the poses. A sort of inner confidence in myself took the place of doubt and that gave me space to laugh, to find humor and to love my failures at the poses. Suddenly every practice was good just for being practicing. It is enough to get on the mat. You don’t need to get a winning spot on the Olympic team with each practice. It’s just practice. _ Now I wonder if I need to apply that same realization to life. It’s just life. I tumble and fall. My successes and failures don’t make me any more or less worthy of love. I don’t earn my worth by doing all the right things and checking off all the boxes of good personhood. The gift of grace doesn’t happen only for the few select who fit the mold. The gift of grace is for everyone, especially the ones who feel that they’re not worthy and that they’ve made too much of a mess of things to ever be lovable again. I’m yet at the point where I can laugh about all my life’s greatest failures. In fact, I still feel a good deal of guilt and shame about a lot things I’ve done. But slowly, I’m choosing faith. I’m choosing to believe in myself and let go of crippling doubt. Maybe one day I’ll be able to laugh it off just like j laugh about falling out of a headstand. For now, I’ll take just not hating myself when I look in the mirror. I know it seems like a small step, but we all have to start somewhere. _ #bestrong #onebreathatatime _ Day 7 #onemillionyogischallenge is Chaturanga with @yogisoli on @omstarsofficial raising money for @yogagivesback ?
