good enough?

Wow it's been awhile again. December has been a crazy month for me. But finally I am done with school until next year and things are winding down. It's interesting what takes place when I get so busy. I start to tire and wear down. I feel a bit of a cold coming on. I have also noticed my mood getting a little lower when nothing is wrong. I start noticing my faults more and my attributes less. I really fall into that "I'm not good enough" mode.

It's so frustrating sometimes but I keep using my yoga training to remind myself that this is just a mala talking. I really am good enough and I know this. But when I'm tired, I think it's harder to remember. Or when I'm in a situation that challenges me more than normal. Take my video for instance. I know I am good enough to become inspired but every time I make a video, I think "well that wasn't good enough!" Also as I meet new people I even think I may not be good enough to be around them.

So I turn back to the teachings and continue to remind myself. I turn into myself, much like we do in inner spiral, to remember and then to expand to the back, the universal as well as shine forth again with my heart. And I do this with kindness in mind, toward myself. I offer this to you as I am so grateful when someone reminds me...
