Change Your Story, Change Your Life

I couldn’t believe it. Driving home the other night from a friend’s house, my husband and I pulled up behind a car with a license plate that said, Woe is me.

Seriously? I can’t imagine being so attached to my negative self-talk that I’d put it on a license plate!

In the yoga teacher training, we learn from the ancient yoga teachings how thoughts, known as vrittis, create reality. The more we think a thought, the more we attract the energy of that thought. Change Your Story, Change Your Life.

Tip #1

Try noticing your thoughts before you believe them lock, stock and barrel. Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras, a landmark yoga text tells us that we should practice seeing our thoughts without reacting to them. By doing this, we put a little space between our Self and our thought, and this buys us the time to respond, rather than re-act.

Tip #2

Keep a journal of your thought patterns for a week. Notice any common thoughts or thought trends? How do you think this affects you and your ability to live your most purposeful, wildly successful life?
