My husband mentioned to me this morning that I have yet to really dig into the "flow" of my blog (FoodFLOWMama♡). Perhaps because this is something that does not come as naturally to me as writing about health and food. But it should and that is why I chose to share this portion of my life journey as well.
So what do I mean by flow? I believe this will be different for everyone. To me it is certainly flowing through yoga asanas and feeling the weightlessness of hoop dance, but it is much more than that. It is a way of life focusing on living mindfully and honestly and being truly present so you can love your best, be your best and give your best. I am not an expert in this, but a fledgling, struggling to find my flow on most days. I have many intentions for the new year that will help me practice, most of which center on being more thoughtful, honest with myself and present. I frequently battle anxiety which is not serving me or those I love. I started a more regular yoga practice about 6 months ago and I have experienced growth on and off the mat. I try to get on my mat daily, even if its just for a few minutes or with a one-year old climbing on my legs.
My flow posts will be one of the ways I make sure I reflect on my growth, in yoga, but all of my life flow as well. I hope this will inspire others to find their flow, whatever that may be. To end I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes that reminds me why my intentions are so paramount.
"Man; because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he
does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having
never really lived."
- Dali Lama (On what he finds most surprising about man).
What does flow mean to you?
