In yoga, we learn the art of releasing our expectations.
You see, when we get into a yoga position and it is not how we expect it to look, we learn fairly quickly that what we may think may not unfold exactly as we thought. Our body may have a different plan than what we expected it to do. Our Downward Dog position may not have a complete “V” shape or our heels may not touch the ground completely, like the girl in the Insta photo we saw the other day. Due to many different reasons, our body will show us exactly where we land as we are every time we practice.
This is a good experience to have, as it helps prepare us for life experiences.

Now, with life this same expectation experience may happen often as well. However, instead of our body saying, “nope, not today” our life experiences may show up and share with us that perhaps being rigid in our expectations may not be the best for us.
In this five minute vlog today, I want to share with you how to step aside from expectation and invite gratitude into your life as a stepping stone for a happier, healthier life experience.
Instead of having expectations and experiencing the happiness “buzz-kill,” I will teach you how to use the powerful tool of gratitude and look at expectation from a new perspective.
With this simple exercise, you will begin to create more experiences in life that you desire.
