Myself, I am aiming to have less expectation! Of myself as I tend to expect a lot of myself & often need to learn to let go of that & just ‘go with the flow’. I also intend to mind less what others expect of me. I know I am not ‘your typical yoga teacher’, to be honest I’m not sure that I am your typical anything!! However I am learning to be happy with who I am, to love myself for who I am, and to care less that I don’t fit neatly into any of the boxes that society likes to slide us into.
“Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.”
Mahatma Gandhi
With this in mind I intend to believe in myself more, and to appreciate more rather than expect more!! The unexpected is often greatly appreciated. Maybe this will lead to a destiny of appreciation, for myself and for others!! If not, at least I will stop being so hard on myself and give myself more time for play, for fun and for friends and family!!
And if I do ever manage to get that foot behind my head I will appreciate if so much as I certainly don’t expect I ever will 😉
Have an amazing 2012 & I hope it brings you many things to appreciate; good health, happiness, love and the kind of experiences that bring a twinkle to the eye and a glow to the soul.
