Hey, Yogis! As some of you know, I recently celebrated a milestone birthday. In the months before my birthday, I felt like I was up against some deadline ( By the time Iā€™m 30, I will ________ ). As part of my gift to myself, and in an effort to let go of these expectations, I went on a week-long yoga retreat to Costa Rica. It was a week full of yoga, meditation, beach time, and me time.
 
After meditation one morning, I wrote the following in my notebook:
 
You have thoughts, but you are not your thoughts.
You have physical discomforts, but you are not your physical discomforts.
You have emotions, but you are not your emotions.
 
I keep coming back to this. When I feel anxious, I come back to this. I'll say it again: You are not your thoughts. You are so much more.

Hoping this mantra helps you as it has helped me,
Alicia
