How long did it take me to do a headstand off the wall? Or how long did it take me to achieve king pigeon pose without the use of a strap?

Yesterday I woke up at 6h30 and practiced for 1h30. It felt sooo good 🥰 I wasn’t expecting to practice that much but since Ellie was still sleeping, I took advantage of it and practiced as much as my body would allow me to.

It reminds me that no matter what you try to achieve, as long as you show up consistently on your mat – meaning doing the actual work – you’ll get there.

In my lowest days, I used to ask myself what my life would’ve been if I had decided to stay in my corporate job. What if I had made the wrong decision?

I had a stable career in IT, I was living on my own and I was traveling as much as I wanted to. Everything looked good on paper but when I stopped and thought about how my life would be if I continued that job, I couldn’t see myself being happy with having more responsibilities and thus having less family time.

I had decided that I wanted to live in another country. At that time, my focus was on the US. But before making the move there, I wanted to have traveled in 25 countries before the end of my 25th birthday.

This morning I was scrolling down my Google photos and I stumbled upon a video from last July when I still couldn’t do crow pose.

Uncertainty is scary. I get that. But you know what’s scarier for me?

I’ve made many mistakes in the past that I’m not proud of. And recently I’ve been thinking about them (don’t ask me why, idk 🤷) and how disappointed I was with my younger self.

If you have a better option, there’s no reason to complain. If you don’t have a better option, it makes no sense to complain.
