Clearing your head is temporary

Clearing your head is temporary, like clearing your browsing history on your laptop. Cleansing your mind is lasting, not a one-off clean-up. Creating a regular practice to bring calm and stillness to your mind is a maintenance activity that is most beneficial when it becomes part of your life.

The ultimate form of intrinsic motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity it's one thing to say I'm the type of person who wants this. It's something very different to say I am the type of person who is this. -James Clear 

I love this quote because for years I wanted to be the type of person that had balanced, meditated, dedicated time and space to my wants. Now I am the person who is (mostly) balanced, meditates regularly, and just embarked on yoga teacher training. Cultivating a calm that works for me, that adjusts with my life.

Creating new habits and setting different goals can help support you as you shift towards a way of living that is more I AM, and less I WANT TO. If you would like some additional support in setting goals to create that I AM life please join Allyson Kukel, Founder of Rooted in Calm for a workshop at the Leiden Expat Centre on the 12th of March from 10:30 - 12:00, for more information click here.
