How to Get Back on Track Today

I was hiking in the Sonoran Desert — a place I wasn’t familiar with — on a marked trail.

Except that I couldn’t see the trail. While clearly visible at the start, it had become invisible now. I couldn’t see the difference between the physical patterns that told my brain “trail” vs. untouched desert.

So, I slowed down and nearly stopped. I took a few deep breaths. I started to really take in my surroundings. I noticed things I had missed.

Then I saw it– the trail!!!

This happened a few more times on my solo hike. At times, I couldn’t see the patterns for a while, but eventually I did.

In yoga, we use the technique of slowing down to get back on track frequently. In fact, yoga is the practice of noticing things you never noticed before.

When we are rushed or moving at the speed of light, we often miss important cues that can provide us with the exact information we need to get back on track with our wellness priorities, solving a problem, delivering a project or even aligning with our values and dreams. Your intuition is a whisper. Do you know how to edit out the noise that drowns it out?

The good news is, learning how to slow down and get back on track doesn’t require you to add another thing to your To Do List. You can easily inject it as a regular practice throughout the day.
