Finding Yourself Yoga

Last week, I was invited to teach Meditation to 10 national editors on a work retreat in Montecito. It is always so powerful watching people come out of meditation with a clear eyes, a new perspective and new tools to help them manage stress, flow in their creativity, and become more productive in accomplishing their goals. Curious about meditation for your workplace? Simply message me or email [email protected] for more details! No time like the present. #santabarbara #reducestress #workplacewellness #healthyliving #goalsetting #selfcare #selfcare #mindfulness #wellness #wellbeing #montecito #meditation #present

I feel like I need to write this today. I am dyslexic. Being dyslexic I learn differently than some other people. Up until today I always looked at it as a negative part of who I am. It has kept me from trying new things and almost kept me from doing this aerial training I'm currently in the middle of. I was scared. I was scared because I thought, because I learn differently I couldn't do it. I had feared that it would be just too complicated for my brain and my processing...... But something clicked during this training. (No, I did not all of a sudden... poof lose my dyslexia!) instead, what occurred was a shift. I felt myself notice that being dyslexic doesn't need to stop me from doing all the things I want to do. Yes, it may take me more time to learn a "wrap" (if we are talking aerial yoga) yes I need to see it over and over again and practice over and over and over again and still sometimes I get it wrong, but eventually I get it right. I am starting to accept that it's okay that it takes me "longer" to learn steps. I'm learning that I can ask to see it again, I can explain that I learn differently and find understanding and patience in my teachers and peers. I am not an inconvenience. I am who I am. Delicious, dyslexic, sensitive, loving, Jamie. And I am good enough as I am. On that note, I encourage you all to let yourself truly be seen. Be vulnerable. Without vulnerability I would have not been able to come to this realization. When we are truly seen by ourselves and others, fuck, there is freedom. I love you. XOXO.
