Life has such a way of teaching us….. Whether or not we are willing to learn is up to us.
Unplanned events - circumstances - accidents have a way of giving me different perspectives.
FOR ME: once I hurt my ankle - I had a fairly strong sense I would be back in the saddle after 3 weeks → I WAS! I started riding last week - AND - I was back in for my pilates session with Stephanie last week too! And then again today!!! Steph is so impressed with how my ankle is healing.
The sense I had wasn’t hopeful - I didn’t “hope” I would be riding in 3 weeks - I KNEW!
This makes me smile because I feel the connection I have been building with my body over the past 3-4 years has been strengthening.
I listen so much more, not only to myself but also to my horses - my family - everything!
I have been building presence, strength, connection through pilates, fasting and meditating. I am learning and discovering what a healthy, happy body is for me (and my body).
I am feeling so comfortable and confident in my own skin - IT’S SO GOOD! And not what I expected to happen at all.
Looking back I believe this started with the choice I made to start a pilates practice and enroll in pilates training. My target was to become a more effective rider in the saddle…. Little did I know what I was really building.
Strength builds control
Strength builds lightness
Strength builds confidence
= PEACE & PRESENCE
We live our lives one choice at a time - We get to choose again… and again… and again.. There’s no wrong choices, only learning… Today I am choosing THIS and I am so grateful for all of it and everyone
