Turning the page again

And so the cycle begins again and for some strange reason we tend to use this excuse to reset buttons, to establish new goals, to recalibrate. In my practice at my yoga class, my teacher sometimes talks about allowing the thoughts come and go, occupy the space in our mind for just an instant and then allow them to leave. Be open to receive new thoughts, to renovate? I don't know. Depending on the purpose of the class we may talk about ringing out what we don't need, making space for new feelings/light? I love to listen to her words and use those metaphors to imagine how my heart learns to not be stuck on certain feelings, how to find forgiveness, how to allow myself to let go. 

I usually take this time to reflect, not necessarily on my accomplishments, but rather on the things I have learned about myself. Sometimes, or most times, the best lessons come from my failures. 

I don't know what will this year bring. I don't have plans anymore. I divorce myself from the expectations that something specific will happen, but more and more I learn that my life is this road where love happens in different ways. I have stop thinking about the acceptance of others, people will either accept me or not the way I am, and that it is ok. It is ok to walk alone. And this I don't mean it in the sense of being physically alone, but more like learning to be me without resentment from what I expected was going to be reciprocated. Be ok to give as much as I wanted and be ok to ask for what I think I need.

So I leave the thoughts come and leave, fill me with renewed feelings. Make space to receive because we invent ourselves every day, and this path has still that bright horizon at the end awaiting for us to reach our ending place.
