Wisdom -- Soul Mate
'Soul Mate
A committed yoga practice can absolutely transform our relationships. "Through our yoga practice, we learn to look at ourselves, including the parts of us that are less evolved. Learning how to do this physically, with discomfort in an asana, helps us to do this emotionally," says Bo Forbes, who is a yoga teacher, Integrative Yoga Therapist, and clinical psychologist in Boston. "If we can't sit with our emotions, we are more likely to act them out on ourselves or others."
Our culture and traditions school us to believe that someday our prince (or princess) will come, that a relationship has the potential to solve problems like loneliness, that the right partner will make us feel whole. Popular romantic movies propagate the myth of another person completing us. On the face of it, the idea of being "completed" by another seems deeply romantic. But it's a fantasy that can weigh down a relationship with impossible expectations. The truth is that while your partner can offer many things, he or she can't "complete" you. The only person who can give you a sense of security and an unshakable love of you is you. And though you may "know" this with your mind, sometimes feelings of unworthiness, insecurity, and incompleteness are so deeply buried that you aren't even aware of them or of how they influence your behavior.'

Daily Insight -- Keep Resentment at Bay
I'm having a hard time getting into the shopping aspect. I LOVE to give gifts and bring a smile to someone, but there's this 'obligation' at Christmas time to give that I am uncomfortable with. Receiving is also awkward for me, bc there is nothing I need or want. I'm trying to be content and yet the holiday season is forcing me to want and state what it is I desire materialistically. Be true to yourself.
I like this article- just a good reminder to go with the flow, get bold in your physical practice and get out of your head. Stay true to yourself during this time and make an effort to give what you believe in. Gifts with purpose and gifts that encourage open heart thinking, is a good place to start.
Let go of the stresses, there is no need to feel them. Go do some yoga, it just may help :)

Yoga Journal - Yoga Philosophy - Sophisticated Ego
hmmmm..... takes me back to one of my first posts:
http://kdeerhauteyogawear.blogspot.com/2010/11/hot-yoga-is-for-love.html
Please leave your ego at the door.. We have all heard it before. But before you go and ban your ego from coming onto the mat with you, consider the fact that it's OK to love what you see. It can motivate you, make you feel proud, accomplished or simply content. Your practice may be a moving meditation, but it's also an expression, TO YOURSELF, of who you are. You are there for YOU and only YOU. Express yourself, feel confident in what you do and what you wear, because inside the yoga room is a perfect time to cultivate the love you have for yourself. Love what you see, love how you feel, love who you are.
Express yourself!

You have the power
Believing that something is difficult makes it so. Positive visualization and affirming a favorable outcome with emotion, unleashes unstoppable faith. Faith brings about infinite creativity as well as euphoric dopamines which will make you happy, and strengthen your immune system.
Thank you Kim!!! Love you!!!!

YJ Wisdom -- Change is in the Air
Love this from Yoga Journal-
How is it that when life is spun around by circumstances, benign or otherwise, some people flail, while others sail? Why do some of us wallow in that place where we're so shocked and unhappy about an unexpected turn of events that we resist reality and find ourselves mired in bitterness or fear or hopelessness? Instead of accepting change with grace, we dig in our heels and suffer through each day of things not being what we think they should be. What's the secret to riding each new wave gracefully—regardless of whether it deposits you gently on the beach or wallops you down to the seafloor?
Whether we crave or dread change, we can't escape it. Here's how to live with it—and learn from it.
