There is a tendency for us as a society to glorify the need to be busy. As if being busy provides some purpose to our lives. And without occupying ourselves from one task to another, we lose our sense of being. . The past few months, I’ve felt this way. If I wasn’t filling my schedule as much as I can, I felt guilty. Doing anything less felt like I was wasting precious time. But no matter how much I did, I constantly felt like I wasn’t doing enough. There was this big expectation in my head that I wasn’t fully conscious of, but yet it seems like I was pushing myself to achieve or prove something. And doing any less made me feel less worthy. . The thing I realise now is that more isn’t better. And less isn’t worse. Similarly less isn’t better. And more isn’t worse. They’re not related. . Our sense of being and our sense of purpose isn’t dependent on how “busy” we are. We can do loads and not feel tired. And we can do less but still feel drained. It all depends on the intention of our actions. If we’re doing things to fit into an expectation, then we’ve lost the true purpose of actions. All it really does is consume us. . Everything falls back to awareness of our intentions. . With this in mind, about a week ago I took a moment to reflect back on my personal intention with teaching yoga. My intention has been pretty simple all along - to share this beautiful practice. And sometimes I just need to be reminded of that, especially when things start moving at a different pace. . So I’ve made the decision to change my upcoming schedule. Maybe I won’t be as “busy” as I used to be. But at the end of the day, I think it’s more important for my actions to aligns with my intention. And perhaps through this, it’ll make space for other opportunities that resonates more deeply... . . . We can still be do-ers without trying to do everything. . #everythingwithintention #onebreathatatime https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn-vvApgYdk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ap43jxl2v8i
