Drishti, or focal point, literally means focusing your gaze on a non-moving object. This gives you the stability in your poses and helps your mind sustain mental focus. Directing your vision to a single point prevents you from wavering or moving.

Drishti is an essential tool for finding balance and instills a deeper practice. Keeping your focus can help you clear the mind and remove patterns that are not healthy for the mind and body!

One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Wayne Dyer is:

“You have a powerful mind that can make anything happen as long as you keep yourself centered and focused!”

Have a beautiful weekend & happy Friday!

If you’re feeling stuck, try this: get clear on what you want. Cancel out the noise and truly tune into your inner world.

  • What makes you happy?
  • When do you feel the most fulfilled?
  • Who do you feel best around?

Most importantly, get clear on your values. When you know your values, you can act in alignment with those values. This process of getting to know ONESELF is so key to getting out of a rut.

Journaling is an amazing way to dig deep and understand what one truly wants for their life. I feel that this is such an important topic to expand on because so many people feel stuck in their lives, feel unfulfilled, and feel ultimately unhappy. This can be CHANGED if you are willing to make a commitment to yourself.

On Vulnerability:

Allow yourself to feel. Listen to what your heart is telling you. Try journaling to get those thoughts down. Just write one sentence if that’s all you can do. No filtering, no erasing- simply explore what comes up for you and what feels true!

On Patience:

Think of 3 things you appreciate about the current stage of your life.

On Meditation:

Just practice. There is no perfect meditation. Simply close your eyes, breathe, and listen with an open heart.

The key to getting un-stuck will be different for everyone, but it starts with listening, calming the mind, and understanding what one truly wants. Once an intention can be implemented, it is easier to work towards something. Take it one day at a time and be kind to yourself along the way. And remember, we are all in this together.

Self love is about taking initiative of your life, honestly asking yourself:

Does this serve me?
What can I do to change it if it doesn’t?

Then, it’s about committing to yourself, and actively incorporating that change on a daily basis. It’s a balance between being kind to yourself when you need it but also holding yourself accountable and responsible for your wellbeing.

Self love is an ongoing DEDICATION to being the best version of you that there is.
