I interchangeable call my clients friends because to me,that is what they are. Were all just navigating through this human experience and the more good peeps you can have on your team, the better. (In the end, were all on the same team anyways.) Today I had a friend sitting across from me at the consultation table relaying her tale of how she does really great following all the suggestions, gets in a grove and feels better and then falls off the wagon back into her old ways and feels like she slides back to zero again. She explained that she feels like she makes headway and then loses ground and falls back to zero Her definition of zero is not flattering. I sit across from her looking at a woman I see as strong, motivated and aware (otherwise she wouldnt even be there) I empathize with her tendency to create expectations for herself and then feel frustrated when the follow through doesnt go as planned. I explained to her that every time she goes back to zero as she calls it, shes going back with a new awareness. Because of this self awareness each time she revisits zero its no longer zero. Zero keeps bumping up to one, two, three. Each time she revisits her starting point because of her experiences and growth its a new starting point. This made her smile. I believe this to be true for all of us. Our setbacks dont set us back, they create a new platform to help us move forward. Its all a journey. With Ayurveda specifically its the science of living. Shifting and improving the way we conduct or days, nourish our mind body and orchestrate our lives is not an overnight operation. It is a process of self reflection, love and dedication founded on patience and compassion.
