Bow Pose

If I wasn't the one in the photo, I would have never believed it was me.

- It was my first time on a stand-up paddle board, and my first time doing Yoga on a stand-up paddle board. 

- I am not a Yogi. I am somewhere between knowing several poses, and spending half the class looking around the room at others to see what I should be doing.

- I was away on a girls weekend a few years back. We wanted to try something different and so SUP Yoga we did.

- I remember thinking: 

• What's the worst that could happen -  I fall off into the water. 
• What's the best that could happen -  I get to do Yoga on a stand up paddle board. Cool.

- Can you guess what happened?
I fell off into the water. A LOT. I fell off the most out of my two friends.

- Was I embarrassed? No. Did I have fun? Heck yeah. Was I proud of myself for simply "trying" something new? Fo' shizzle!

- Where in your life do you find yourself avoiding something for fear of failure? Fear of looking silly? Fear of not being perfect at something right away?

- WHAT IF you just tried...

- When you TRY you end up DOING no matter what the DOING looks like or how it ends up.

- That day on the lake I TRIED stand-up paddle board yoga.  What I DID was "fall into the water a lot" in-between yoga poses.

Every time I see this photo, I am reminded of what I did that day: I tried, had fun, gained a new experience; and for that I am proud of myself.

- "We are the only ones standing in our own way from trying new things. Get out of your own way and just try. 
You will be amazed at what is inside of you already, waiting to show you what YOU can do."
