Soften

“Soften” is a word I share in many of my yoga classes and at all of my retreats.

Softening is the first step towards letting go, releasing, shifting, changing, and pivoting.

So many of us are in a hurry for change.

We are in such a hurry for transformation that we get stuck.

The jump from where we are to where we want to be is too far.

When we instead decide to “soften,”

we nudge ourselves loose,

and begin the transformation process.

I have previously talked about baking rather than microwaving.

Softening is like cooking in a slow cooker.

An intentional process of creating deliciousness and complete transformation that begins literally with the slow softening of tough meat.

How can you begin by softening today?
