Every decision you make, the way you choose to feel, or the reactions that occur that seem out of your control, each has a basis in yourself somewhere. Each one of us is motivated by something. It could be avoidance of pain or the search of pleasure, the two main forms of suffering as Patanjali tells us in the Yoga Sutra.
In the article below you'll find a new program that helps leaders to become more mindful. It is a combination of modern science and ancient wisdom that combines to assist people to become very aware. This awareness, this mindful living, allows one to reach a more peaceful inner state. When you know how you feel and the reasons for that feeling, you can begin to make gradual changes which result in your increased wellbeing.

This week we will strive to keep the at home feeling and from that nonthreatening, non judgy place, watch how you decide. What is your motivation for your choices? Every minute of every day is spent making decisions. You can probably feel the overwhelmed sensation at the end of a particularly busy or stressful day. That feeling exists when you are taking in and processing stimuli as you make decisions based on it. There is a constant stream of information flowing into you and if you don't quiet yourself from time to time, you get overloaded. How mindfully are your decisions made? Do you have motivations that you've hidden from yourself? Are you really honest about why you do what you do? And is there a way to rectify it?
Yoga offers us tangible techniques with which to answer these questions and make changes, if needed. It is not a quick fix. The success you have in knowing yourself better through yoga is all about your part in practice. If you don't want to know, you never will. But, then, you'll always be living in a stressed out, suffering state of mind. People who practice yoga will still get stressed out; will still have pain. Physical life will never be devoid of all pain. But a regular yoga practice will dull the edge of every challenge you encounter, increase your stamina, and will allow you to live with more lightness.
