Often times when we are in the middle of a stage of life that is causing us to transition to a new way of being, we feel confused, and we are not sure what to do next. We find ourselves searching for the next thing that will make us happier. Our focus is often outward on the search. In this episode Amy suggests that we go inward and practice self-reflection, or svadhyaya. We can look at those areas of our lives that are increasing our joy and those that are decreasing it. We can evaluate our values and beliefs and see if they are in alignment with our actions. And we can give ourselves time and space to explore without pressuring ourselves. Remember, the joy is in the journey of life, not just the final destination. · Amy starts the show with talking about her year anniversary, and how she has reflected on her life this past year.· She discusses how transitions can be painful, but what if we were able to change our perspective and use this time to be present and create the life we always wanted.· She says we have to get honest with ourselves and look at the choices we have made and continue to make. · Amy talks about how to create more inner joy, and possibly outer joy.· Amy talks about dharma or life purpose and how to get more clarity about life what gives us meaning and purpose.· Then she discusses how to “feel” your way through life and listen to your body, not all the talking that is happening in your brain.· Finally, trust yourself and give yourself the time it takes to get clarity and align with your values for a joy-filled life.If you would like to receive the free infographics and handouts that correspond to each episode on the Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast, please subscribe to our segmented email list.
