The difference between what you believe in
And what you do
Is the place where discomfort arises
And festers
Becoming full blown anxiety if you don’t close the gap
And come into alignment
*When anxiety arises I know that living in-authentically is one of the major causes with me.
Sometimes we are pulled off tangent by others
Sometimes we drift of our own accord into habits and behaviours that don’t serve us
Once you know your truth, you cannot unknow it
Trying to ignore it or revert back to old behaviour patterns for whatever reason will just end up pulling your out of alignment and cause dis ease.
One of the best ways I know to pull my entire system back into alignment is yoga
So doing plenty of that
As the body straightens and loses its kinks clarity arises
With clarity we know exactly what we need to do
Then it is simply a case of having the gumption to do so
It’s amazing how courage trumps anxiety every single time
Even though taking steps of courage is often a walk through the hellfire of fear
Yet there is always a reward
Peace
Being at peace within is worth any amount of discomfort
Which sounds a little oxymoronic but it’s not really, I would rather do what I do and be at peace within then try and bend myself into a more suitable version for another’s opinion
One is subject to change and misinterpretation
The other is embedded in the bedrock of our own discerning
And because I’m using my cameras again here is a photo I took at dawn this morning..the power poles along our road – they stand so straight and look like crosses – some religious effigy to power – I rather like them and often photograph them because within the radius of my home …there isn’t a lot to photograph 😂
“Once you know your truth, you cannot unknow it” Epicness.
Hahah I love epicness as a word – has a nice ring to it thanks guys
We’d like to share this particular part of your awesome poem on our blog. Is that alright with you?
Yep fine guys go ahead
That photo is stunning!
I struggle a lot with anxiety myself and all you wrote made perfect sense to me.
