Have you ever felt like if you can’t do it right…then why do it at all?  Usually when we get stuck in this mindset, we tend to do nothing.

Earlier last week in the middle of the night, I got up and stubbed my toe.  I know many of you can relate to this!  It is purple, blue and red now.  In fact, I am pretty certain I broke it!  I never knew how important one’s pinkie toe is!!

Very regularly I take a Monday night heated vinyassa class…which I love.  Tonight, I waffled on whether or not to go.  Mostly I knew balancing on my left foot might be a bit embarrassing and I would struggle in most of my poses…at least to an onlooker who would be watching me.  I almost bailed.

Instead of deciding if I wanted to GO, I realized what I didn’t want…and that was to go home without trying.  I simply didn’t want to miss yoga!  I realized I could go, and leave early, or I could go and do my own poses, or I could go and just laugh at myself as I fumbled.

So, I went, realizing I don’t have to do it “right”…I just had to do it!

When we decide to try something, it rarely needs to be “all or nothing”!  Usually there’s a middle ground that can get us closer to what we want, or maybe more appropriate further away from what we don’t want!

Consider this when you are struggling with a decision.  If you can’t determine exactly what you want, maybe focus on what you don’t want and find a half way point to get away from it!  That half way point might be your step closer to a healthier body, happier spirit and clearer mind set or maybe just a nicer evening!
