Once again it’s that time of year. The time when we all say “Happy New Year” to one another and wish each other a new, a different, a changed year where we resolve to do better, be better and improve ourselves.
At Electric Soul Yoga, we have a different perspective…sure, to be polite we share the well wishes. But we know that a new year cannot be marked on the calendar – it has to be created within ourselves. A real “new year” means clean-dropping our egos, our separateness and our selfishness. It’s a time when we seek shelter from the storm of emotions and desires that flood us daily.
All happiness comes with conditions. If you say you are happy, ask yourself, why? There is always a reason: health, relationships, money, weather, people and circumstances outside of ourselves. Eliminate the condition, and you lose your happiness.
If you want this to truly mark a “NEW” year, where you are really happy, try the Yoga Shelter approach. We do not necessarily wish you a “Happy New Year”. Rather, we work hard to create an environment in which you can create a new YOU…the BEST you!
Rest assured, we are doing our work, personally and professionally, to serve you. Together, let’s forget about wishing “Happy New Year” and instead do something new.
Let’s make the changes we need to make…start things we have not started…stop things we need to stop.
You are never alone; Electric Soul Yoga is with you for the whole ride.
Peace,
EP
It’s so true. We’re as people are always happiest when things are going well but when they’re not, we get down and unproductive and sometimes even self destructive. My goal is to get to a place where I can be constant. I wish to be my own pillar in the ever changing tides of the universe. I’ve though about this a lot, and I keep coming to the same conclusion. The only way to truly be happy is to be happy with yourself and what you are doing. If one can do that, than no matter where one is, one will always be happy…and until the one reaches that place he’ll at least no where to look…within.
“pj, from your lips to god’s ears”…
