Sometimes being a warrior is not so much about an outward display of strength, but an inward resolve to stay put when things get difficult. In a random little yoga studio in LA this morning, as my quad started to quiver and quake, the teacher talked about how warrior can show us how to stay present in the difficulty. When you’re in an upsetting conversation and you want to close up your heart and wall yourself off, stay present instead. When you’ve committed to something challenging, and you’re questioning your ability to achieve it, stay alert in the challenge and shift your focus to a different piece of it if that helps. When life is making you want to run away, what about bending deeper into that front leg and staying strong through the tremble? What might you learn about yourself if you chose to stay put?
A little food for thought on a Saturday morning.
