꧁ For a long time, I thought difficult transitions were something I needed to get through as quickly as possible so I could get back to my regular life and responsibilities. ꧂
But some of the hardest transitions in my life taught me something different.
Here are 5 things I learned along the way ↓↓
➜ 𝟭. 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲. ✦
Awareness of mortality doesn’t have to make us afraid.
It can remind us to stop postponing what matters.
➜ 2. You are more than what is happening to you. ✦
You are not only your job, relationship, health, role, or the chapter you’re moving through.
In fact, difficult moments can reveal parts of ourselves we may never have discovered otherwise.
➜ 3. Nothing stays the same, and that’s not always a bad thing. ✦
The difficult chapters.
The identities we thought would define us.
The places we called home.
The relationships.
Even the version of ourselves we are right now will change.
Ask yourself:
What if I don’t need to rush to make things feel normal again?
Sometimes the work isn’t getting back to who you were.
It’s learning who you’re becoming.
➜ 4. Happiness is not related to pleasure. ✦
Happiness is peace, love, connection and meaning.
We can’t always choose what happens to us.
But we can learn to choose how we meet what happens.
Our habits. Our perspective. Where we place our attention. How we care for our body and mind.
Happiness isn’t just something we find outside ourselves. It is something we cultivate within.
➜ 5. You can care deeply without trying to control everything. ✦
Yoga teaches us to act wholeheartedly without becoming attached to the outcome.
Do your best. Participate fully. Do what you believe is right, not because you need applause, recognition or a particular reward.
You can influence your life, but you cannot control every part of it.
Sometimes letting go isn’t giving up.
It’s making space to see what happens.
