We go through life with the heavy burden of so many expectations. Expectations for ourselves. Expectations of others. Expectations for what we think this moment should be…what it should look like.
Buddha reminds us, “Serenity only comes when we trade expectations for acceptance.”
On our yoga mats, expectations can creep in as frustration when we don’t nail that challenging yoga pose. Acceptance is realizing that everyone’s body is unique and beautifully different. It’s not about how the pose looks, but how it feels in your body and soul that matters.
What might change in our lives if we choose acceptance over expectations…? –V
