We cannot control our thoughts but we can control our vibration. It all depends on our perspective.

Examine your practice this weekend and consider upgrading some of your habits. Your body, mind and other people will thank you.

“You are perceptual beings with different vantage points and — it does not matter how much information is given — you cannot see beyond the vibrational limits of where you are standing. You cannot live or see or experience outside of your own individual beliefs.” Abraham-Hicks

*Learn simple ways to change up and empower your physical practice so you can keep making progress

*Have the chance to look inward and possibly become more aware of old stories and patterns you are currently telling yourself

*Laugh, learn and enjoy the process with other like-minded people
