Challenge for your Tuesday ~ Go for the trifecta !
Boundaries. Honesty. Realistic Expectations.
Yes Satya is one of the Yamas in yoga meaning truthfulness & honesty . Yoga also teaches us discernment . For example realising …
You will not get honesty from everyone. The best way to accept this reality is to have clear boundaries and realistic expectations….this is part of creating “steadiness + ease” in the mind.
Sthira Sukham Asanam .
This is the Yoga Sutra that suggests how the quality of mind is while in a yoga pose regardless of the external conditions. That’s why Yoga is actually an inside job.
You can’t see Yoga , despite all the crazy poses out there. You FEEL YOGA in your heart.
For there to be steadiness & ease there needs to be both boundaries & freedom. This gives the mind a throne , so it can sit quietly.
No one is free if they are not being honest , but you are not responsible for someone else’s freedom. They are.
Strange as it may sound once we let go of our expectations new boundaries are born.
Getting clear on boundaries may take time. Putting them in place may feel foreign to begin , however healthy boundaries will also have a taste of authenticity.
A great way to practice Satya (Truthfulness / Honesty) is first & foremost to yourself. Feeling free (#moksha) has nothing to do with how others treat you and more to do with how you treat you.
You deserve to enjoy life rather than be tossed about by it.
Try the trifecta & who knows you may just win something extremely valuable that will help you live life to the fullest!
