I learned a few days ago that 2014 began with a new moon and that this hasn't happened in 19 years. While New Years resolutions are front of mind during this first week of January, I am not normally one to jump on that bandwagon. But with the new moon adding its energy to the mix, I feel like this year's resolutions will be more than breaking bad habits or losing 10 pounds. They will be life changes; eating healthier (not dieting), being more physically active (not just going to the gym), getting outside into nature, volunteering more (time not just money) and helping in the community. I'm feeling inspired to become a better me.
We come to our mats for all sorts of reasons, the most common one is for a workout or to stretch. But we learn so much about ourselves as we practice. We are strong, we can be fearless and brave, caring and forgiving. We learn gratitude for the simplest of things throughout our day.
So with this new moon and new year, we change and we grow. We promise to be better. Yoga reminds me of my goals and brightens that journey.
