Daily Reflection — Yoruba Yogi

Mind, listen.

Not everything that feels loud is important.

Not everything that asks for movement deserves a response.

There was a time when chaos meant escape —

a time when discomfort demanded distraction.

That time has passed.

Now, when life tightens, I stay.

I breathe.

I move my body slowly, honestly, every day.

And in that repetition, something loosened its grip.

I didn’t arrive here through theory.

I arrived through practice.

Through mornings when no one was watching.

Through nights when discipline was the only shelter I had.

Mind, remember this:

Consistency rewired you.

Silence trained you.

Stillness taught you how to feel without reacting.

What once needed explanation now simply is.

I don’t need urgency to feel alive.

I don’t need collapse to feel real.

I don’t need permission to trust what the body already knows.

There is no rush.

There is no proving.

There is only attention.

So when noise appears, I listen without absorbing.

When advice arrives, I receive without surrendering myself.

When the path feels unfamiliar to others, I walk it anyway.

Mind, rest.

The work is being done quietly, exactly as it should be.

Another beautiful day unfolds —

not because it is easy,

but because I am present.
