This weather, for whatever reason, inspires me do more yoga - on and off the mat.<\/p>\n<p>Through yoga practice I connect to myself \u2013 and I\u2019m starting to really honor and recognize that through regular practice I begin to expand my consciousness<\/p>\n<p>Wowza.<\/p>\n<p>Hefty yoga lady statement.<\/p>\n<p>But it is so true and I find it so fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>By focusing on myself I am able to expand my consciousness way beyond what I am craving to eat and what I want to wear.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, seriously Adriene, real talk:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Through a regular practice and self-study we are able to become more adaptable beings.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThe more I practice \u2013 the more opportunity I have to connect to my finest truest self.\u00a0 Then I begin to notice that I connect to the world with that same connect. It\u2019s calmer, stronger and more open. I am able to go with the flow with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Are you one of those people that go with the flow? Or are you just one of those people that\u00a0<em>says<\/em>\u00a0you go with the flow but when the flow gets F*$#+* you get lost.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t intend to be mean or even strict here. I speak from experience \u2013 and of course - I\u2019m trying to be a little funny. But really, it is so easy to\u00a0<em>say<\/em>\u00a0you adapt and flow with ease \u2013 but when the going gets tough the roots are frayed and the foundation is cracked, ultimately you are not able to adapt with a sense of grace or ease.<\/p>\n<p>This is has been one of my personal self-study subjects as of late. I am noticing that I want to be able to adapt and go with the flow all the time \u2013 my intention is there! I am good! I swear!<\/p>\n<p>But when the fart smell hits the fan \u2013 sometimes, I crash.<\/p>\n<p>I hope it goes without saying that, of course, we learn from mistakes \u2013 we embrace them - we forgive ourselves and live and learn. But I want to live better. I really want to be true to myself and be true to my intention of being a highly adaptable and go with the flow person.<\/p>\n<p>So \u2013 this week I invite you to focus on just that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Art Of Adaptability<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nJust like in our yoga practice, I invite you to focus not solely on the physical ways you can adapt - but on the energetic ways as well.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga practice and meditation is energetic hygiene! So reap all the benefits as you embrace The Art Of Adaptability this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practice Yoga daily as a way to connect to yourself and build your adaptability powers!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Notice that when you are not connecting to yourself through practice or alone time your adaptability powers may be depleted or even non-existant. You might feel fed up, impatient or agitated.<\/p>\n<p>You might want to give up.<\/p>\n<p>With your new adaptability powers you will be able to stick with it and go with the flow.<\/p>\n<p>Walk the talk. Talk the walk.<\/p>\n<p>The next time your body shows a limitation \u2013 notice how you react.<\/p>\n<p>The next time your plans change or your expectations are not met \u00a0- notice how you react.<\/p>\n<p>Can you stay calm, strong, creative and connected to your finest truest self?<\/p>\n<p><strong>I dare you to try.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let's do it!<\/p>\n<p>Please share ways in which you were able to take on this dare and cultivate your powers. I welcome your approach, your experience and your struggles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your feedback is important and inspires.<\/strong><br \/>\nLove,<br \/>\nAdriene<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adaptability is a strength and I think it can be an act of self love too.
