Commitment..........a word that sends some kicking and screaming while others embrace it and hold it dear to their hearts. I myself am in the process of moving from the former to the latter. It still evokes feelings of kicking and screaming as I fall into old habits and deny myself the pleasure of really committing. I've fallen into the misconception that remaining uncommitted will allow me to be flexible and if I commit I may fail and disappoint.
Yoga has been teaching me to embrace commitment as a way of being present in each task and moving through it with the full intent of commitment. I will move through and grow each day. I may fall back into my old ways, but with each step on the mat, I am showing myself how embracing commitment is something to hold dear and not run away kicking and screaming.
Here is to my ever present intention to remain committed to the practice of yoga, no matter how loud I scream or want to run away.
What you bring to your mat will permeate all areas of your life, so today is the day to commit.
