Fueling the resistance

Sometimes, awareness sucks. 

Awareness means feeling ugly things. Like injustice. Fear. Pain. [All kinds of pain.] 

But turning off awareness also shuts off the valve to beautiful things. Like connection. Motivation. Inspiration. [All kinds of inspiration.]

The conscious life is a delicate dance between "not too much and not too little". Moderating awareness so that we can feel deeply and still function freely. Showing up where it's needed. Resisting where it's needed. Changing our small pockets of the world where it's needed. 

Yoga and mindfulness is a way to practice awareness, digest difficult truths, and fuel your soul to keep you persevering. Because the world needs you persevering. 

Let's help each other persevere where we can, consciously resist where it's needed, and thrive together.
