 In this episode, I dive into my journey of overcoming stagnation and embracing progress, both physically and creatively. After a rough patch from July 2023 to March 2024, I felt stuck in many areas of life. My experience with yoga in Hanoi and Chiang Mai became a key tool for stretching beyond perceived limits. I share how small shifts, on and off the mat, unlocked growth and helped me appreciate imperfection.  I also share Five Essential Questions to help you break free from stagnation. 

Key Talking Points:

  • Overcoming Stagnation: A look back at my struggles with inertia and the impact of overplanning and rumination.
  • Yoga and Personal Growth: How yoga became a tool for pushing beyond physical limitations and the mental breakthroughs that followed.
  • The Ego and Progress: Navigating the discomfort of not being “good” at something right away and the value of consistent practice.
  • The Power of Small Shifts: Using mindfulness and small changes to unlock creativity and relieve tension in both mind and body.
  • Celebrating Small Wins: How I learned to focus on progress over perfection and the importance of acknowledging every step forward.
