Food 4 Thought

“The past is history, the future a mystery, but today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present.” -Kung Fu Panda

This is such a true statement, especially in my life right now. I often live in the past sometimes wishing things could be as they once were. I also discover myself looking forward to what the future holds for me. All the time forgetting that my time is right here, right now...the present! I'm not saying this is wrong, but that its sometimes easier to wish for things you once had and dream of things that may come, while instead of just being in the present moment.

This is one part of yoga practice that I enjoy. When practicing it is so important to be present-mind, body and spirit. When I allow myself to be present, there is so much more to gain from my practice.

I am learning to apply these same principles to my everyday life. It sometimes is easier for me to do this yoga than in everyday life, but I have to realize that its a process. So instead of getting frustrated with where I'm at in my life and in my yoga practice, I am going to practice living in the moment. I don't want to miss out on anything that life has to teach me!
