Hello! It's been a while. I've been trying to decide how to integrate my "IVF life" with the "yoga life I've built here, on sophiexsanders.com
This space has always been about inspiring YOU to live LIFE with courage and kindness through the Practices of Yoga and I try to be as real as I can.
It’s important for me to talk about infertility and IVF not only because writing it out is helping me heal, but so I can help others too.
So here I go.
This was a random post inspired by a halo spotted over the Singapore skies. A shorter post is on my instagram so check it out here, and please follow me if you like.
A Love Letter to Myself - to stay the course, remain consistent to what I want to make happen.
Because if I'm 100% committed to what I want to make happen, the next step is to be consistent. Consistency is really tapas in action; staying in the fire. Over time, it will give us access to breaking out of default patterns and our negative thoughts. And on the way, create a kinder and healthier seed in our mind. While it is not easy, I know I can find ease in the effort. And what helps is to know my WHY.
I was doing an online yoga class the other day, and the teacher said this - that “100% commitment creates freedom and 99% causes struggle” - and I suddenly had a revelation.
It’s true, when I struggle, my heart is not 100% in it! I still do it, but I suffer, with the negative thoughts in my head.
If you’ve committed to something - are you 100% committed?
If you’re beginning to lose hope.
You’ve tried everything.
You need to believe that you are on the right path.
