I am in a training class for my job, my 8-5 and as we are learning today about making changes in a reservation my Instructor said: After you hit the change key everything is new.

It has an A-HA moment because today is the Monday after the end of my yoga teacher training from Big Yoga in Houston. I can confirm that what my instructor said today in class is so true.

I know this because since February through my Yoga teacher training I have learned that yes; after you hit the change key in your brain & heart everything IS new.

What does that mean necessarily? Well for me it became a path for CHOICE. The choice on what thoughts I kept and what thoughts I send to the trash. I am not saying it was easy for me, sometimes the previous thoughts would try to come back like recycled material!

Then whoops back to the trash, thoughts of doubts like: my legs are strong but my arms are weak, yet I am able to do a handstand and then choosing to acknowledge my strong arms were holding up these muscular legs! Thoughts like discounting family members, even forgetting their existence and running into them in the middle of teacher training at TJ Maxx. Then choosing to say Hi and extend love towards them when before the opposite would have happened, my choice in LOVE resulted in love RETURNED. Wow, true story. Choosing to have a REAL connection with my brother and getting a real connection back. Discovering the ANSWERS I had been frantically searching for were always inside of ME. What?

These things happened, I mean they really happened and the crazy part was it was MY CHOICE. It all comes full circle for me knowing everything I will stumble on will be an opportunity for something new, even if they are not all actually new. What I do know now and can confirm is that YES when you hit the CHANGE key everything and anything is possible.
