Don’t give up. So many of us throw in the towel when we’re almost at the finish line, that voice in our head tells us we can’t or it’s not worth it. I’m telling you, it is. Every breath is worth it. In my classes I teach my students to complete every posture with every breath; whether it’s moving through a vinyasa flow, completing each posture within the flow, or whether it’s holding a balancing pose for one more breath and in that last breath growing taller, stronger.
There are two months left in 2014. For many of us there are projects, relationships, and commitments we made to others or ourselves that are incomplete. Being complete is not about whether or not you have succeeded or failed, it’s knowing that you have done all there is to do, taken every action, and in your gut you know that it is complete. You finished strong.
Taking the time to complete unfinished things in your life will have you feel fulfilled, confident, and full of love. Don’t leave anything unsaid or undone. Make the uncomfortable, difficult phone calls, have those conversations, be the one who listens. Set aside the hours you need to complete that project. Challenge yourself to take this on without any judgments or opinions, without being attached to whether you are right or wrong, or whether you win or lose. If you take this on and put in the energy to finish strong, you will grow taller, stronger, and your light will burn brighter.
November Challenge:
Make a list of things that are currently incomplete. Maybe it’s one thing, maybe it’s 10 things - do not judge yourself about how many things are on your list!
- Choose one item on the list and commit to completing it.
- Set a date that you will have it done by, and then schedule times when you will take actions and work on completing this one thing.
- Breathe.
- Journal about how it feels to finish this thing strong.
- Perfect.
Now, pick a second thing…
