Bucket List or F*%k It List

I don't always get what I want.

After years of practicing yoga, learning karma, understanding law of attraction, my life is still not always a match to what I want.

Why is this?

Knowing what you want is a start;  certainty that it's on its way is essential.

You must stay the course.

That means you must believe in the validity of your desires. You can't fake it. And there's the rub.

Many people say they want to be more flexible, stronger, healthier. But oftentimes, they believe the opposite: thanks to well-meaning parents, friends, and TV reporters, you may now believe that this is the best you can expect: stress is inevitable, exhaustion is part of aging, it's hard to lose weight.

You get what you expect. We all do.

Now you get a choice. You can commit to the life you want, or settle for things as they are. Either you're here to live out your days, or to live into your dreams. Now, not later.

You can have a Bucket list or a  "F*%k It"  list.

Do your dreams inspire you...or upset you?

  Your dreams are a reality.

When you dream something, you've already created it.

Your dreams and desires go out ahead of you and pave the way to the life you are about to live. Your dreams create your life by virtue of the energy you provide. 

Now what?

To manifest your dreams, you need to pay attention to the one key ingredient completely within your control:

Your feelings.

You need to feel good about your dreams.

You may not realize it, but much of the time you feel badly about them.

You feel pessimistic and uncertain. Guilty. You feel disappointed, worried, even angry.

And the irony: those feelings are your obstacles. They don't match the exhilaration, the joy, the blissful energy of your dreams, and thus, you are not a match to what you want most.

You cannot live what you don't match. Your dreams cannot manifest amidst despair and doubt.

But don't worry; there a simple solution

What is Community vs. Network?

I've been thinking a lot about community and what it means

Many of you come to Riverflow to gain strength and flexibility, to release anxiety and stress.  

I have sensed an even deeper yearning: to be part of a feel-good community.  

The idea of community has been replaced by “networking.” and as a businesswoman, I do see the value of creating partnerships. 

But a community is personal. In a community, you are seen and supported for who you are, not what you do.  

You are a valued member of the community at Riverflow Yoga. We hope you feel it in how you are greeted, how you are cheered on in each class, how we celebrate you.

Connect with yourself here.  

Riverflow Membership is unlimited yoga classes, free class passes to share with your friends, massages after class, and always new reasons to feel good about yourself.

Give yourself what you need. When you don't, its like saying, “I am not worth it.” Which is simply not true.  

You are valuable just as you are. There's no one like you, and we are lucky to have you.

You are our yoga community.

Connect to what feels good in hot yoga, then go out into your community a little lighter, a little more bendy, perhaps a step closer to the life you were meant to live....the happy one.
