"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world"

I received some news and then something happened last night that made me feel anxious, nervous, scared, sad and a little bit depressed. I thought I'd been through enough this year...

As I was getting my daughters to where they needed to go this morning, I wondered how can I possibly teach a yoga class with the way I'm feeling today? How can I find something to say, share positive vibes, or even smile with the way I'm feeling right now?

After digging deep, chatting with a few of my closest friends, and a lot of meditation, I took my own advice that I've given to so many others and told myself, "let go of things you can not control" with that thought in my head, I also thought, I need to pay extra attention to the things I CAN control and that's what I'll teach about...

Pay attention to how you act, and react to things, situations, people, LIFE...

We ALL have a choice. We can smile, we can encourage others, we can speak with love and kindness. How WE ACT usually determines how others REACT.

Regardless of how I feel, I can choose my actions. If I want to feel good physically, I need to exercise and eat healthy.

If I want to feel good mentally, I need to be positive, share love, and act with kindness and compassion for others. By doing this, I am allowing myself to focus on the things I can control and I can share these things with others.

When I opened my yoga journal at class today, the quote on the next blank page was perfect, it was a sign telling me "I'm exactly where I need to be" so I shared it with the class and taught how I felt.. I hope WE ALL share this with others making the world a more loving, compassionate, peaceful, safe place....
