This month, I decided to try aerial yoga—mostly because it looked fun! And it truly was. The experience felt playful and calming, especially the resting poses in the swings, which were incredibly relaxing. I’d definitely do it again someday.
That said, I also noticed some insecurities bubbling up during the class. Many of the others were very flexible and able to do advanced poses that I couldn’t. I found myself wishing I were stronger or fitter. But deep down, I know I shouldn’t compare myself to others. The only real comparison that matters is between where I am now and where I want to be.
I’m learning to accept myself, including my limitations, and to keep pushing gently toward a better version of myself—not someone else’s.
I’m proud that I showed up and tried something outside my comfort zone, especially since I usually don’t enjoy group workouts or yoga classes. Growth doesn’t always look perfect, but I’m here for it.
As for next month’s new experience—I’m not sure what it’ll be just yet, but I’ll surprise you when the time comes. Thanks so much for reading. Take care and be kind to yourself. 💛
