The way we live our days is the way we live our lives

These are just a few short words on mindfulness, that I must have picked up from one of my favourite podcasts, if I’m not mistaken. It’s called The Doctor’s Farmacy (yes with an “F”), and the host doctor Mark Hyman is a beautiful soul who has so much knowledge and wisdom to share, as well as some really cool guests.

So there it goes. Couldn’t have caught the essence of what a good yoga practice is if you had asked me right now.

A good yoga practice is the one you do. Even a five or ten minute stretch with intentional, deep breathing can change the quality of your thoughts, physique, and entire day.

And the way we live our days is the way we live our lives.

Picture from one very beautifully and mindfully lived day in and around Ubud, Bali btw.

Inspirational Quote: Steve Jobs

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

— Steve Jobs

This quote is part of Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement speech 2005, which I've listened to a lot of times and find so true and inspiring. One thing I would point out though is that I definitely think that whatever you are doing at the moment, even if you might not particularly love the job, it is very important that you commit and give it the best you can with the resources that you have. And with that in mind, I believe there is always room for taking a little bit of time every day for something that you really truly love, regardless of a busy schedule. And trust that one day the dots will connect :)

Inspirational Quote: Don't stop

““If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working for it.” ”

— Michael Jordan
