METAMORPHOSIS - ep. 12 - I Feel Supported. #30Letters from #yogacamp miniseries

When Adriene Mishler does ab day yoga, you are in for a good stretch. But she also gives the mat as support and helps you reconnect to your core (body, mind and spirit).

As humans, we sometimes can feel weak if we are alone. Alone in doing something or in any other aspect. Our need to belong and to be among peers is so powerful, that we often lose our sense of self. We tend to forget who we truly are.

As children, we have a very strong core of beliefs, wants and dreams. When we grow older, as social pressure closes in on us, we feel vulnerable being just by ourselves. We also tend to misjudge others who are fine, who are OK with being themselves. We categorize them as weird, loosers or plain outcasts.

But the irony is that we all want to be accepted for who we are, to have special value among our peers. And surprise, surprise! As we reach adulthood, the “promised land” of greatness and success, we find out that no one really cares about us or how we are. No one really cares unless it directly involves them. Most people do that unconsciously or even with a bad intention in mind. It’s just human nature, unfortunately!

Even the most caring or sociable person will expect gratitude or some sort of validation for his or hers actions. Thus the most important thing in life is how we make people feel, because that’s what they remember. That’s what resonates with every one of us at a very deep emotional level.

The real and best support we will ever have is the one within ourselves. Getting in touch with our inner strength with our roots, with our… CORE, is what charges our batteries and makes us ready to live in this world.

#30letters is a miniseries derived from the experience of being transformed by some of my choices, in this case yoga, a lesson about yourself and for yourself. #Yogacamp is a 30 day challenge created by the wonderful Adriene Mishler (@yogawithadriene) and shared for free on her YouTube Channel.
