Be at Cause and In Action!

This is the message I posted to BV Yoga's Make 2013 Your Best Year EVER Facebook campaign:
 
Week 3: Be At Cause and In Action! … by Sara Mueller

WHOA!! We are almost 2 months through 2013, a year we all committed to making our best year ever. Although I declared my intention when joining this group, I realize there are two areas of my intention that I haven’t yet done anything to turn into reality: 1) making space for my own writing, and 2) my meditation practice.

This is a common occurrence in my life. I get caught up in the busyness of every day and all of a sudden days, weeks, months have passed and I have missed what is important to me. I find myself living as a result of my life rather than being at cause to make it the best ever.

So I choose to be “at cause” for my life and my yoga practice, and to take action!

***JOURNAL and SHARE (You can post in the comment section right underneath!):***

1) Where are you being at cause in your life and where are you living at effect?
2) What is holding you back from being in action and in creation of your best year ever? Now, give it up!

For me I need to give priority to my meditation practice and my writing. When my alarm goes off in the morning I will get up and meditate instead of sleeping an extra ten minutes. I give up the story that I need those extra ten minutes of sleep!! I commit to creative writing in my blog or journal for 30 minutes a week. I give up wasting time on Facebook/the Internet and the belief that to write I need a 3-hour chunk of time to do so.

***IN YOUR YOGA PRACTICE THIS WEEK:***

1) What is a pose that you have always wanted to do? This week, take one step each day towards learning that pose. You don’t have to learn the full pose this week – or even this year!! – but at least begin the steps that will take you where you want to go!

For me the pose is handstand. I will watch one YouTube video on how to build the foundation for handstand. And each day I will do 3 handstand hops in class or against a wall to make my body more familiar to this pose.

Go now, be at cause and in action!
