Ever Have a People Suck Week?

Ever have a people suck week?
​
That's what I was thinking until the Universe or God or Whoever sent me a message.

Sometimes we can get caught up in the negativity of the world.  Yeah sometimes people suck.

But most of the time they don't.  When we are having a particularly trying week, you might start to believe this.  We say it in our heads, we notice more when people are at their worst.  It can become a negative mantra of sorts.  

If it really gets stuck in your head, it can turn into a belief.  Growing up my dad had this belief.  And it really brought him down.  You start just seeing the negative and you miss out on the positive.

For me, I truly believe people are mostly good.  This doesn't apply to everyone because there are plenty of people who do bad things.  Unfortunately, news is filled with this.  There is not a balance of headline with people doing amazing great things.  

So as I was going along having this false statement of people suck in my mind when BAM...

2 Messages come to me:

The first one "You're only human"  a direct quote to me from a very loving and kind Thai Yoga Bodywork client of mine who I had forgotten to put on my schedule when I was sick and who waited for me to come in after she kindly texted me to see where I was and gave me time to get my butt to the studio to see her.

Yep I am human.  I tell people that all the time when I am teaching yoga.  I'm blessed that there was someone there to remind and reflect this back to me.  Because it's a lot easier to say this to others than it is to say it to our self.

And message two, came through just a day later.  A stranger bought me a coffee.  I never saw this woman before.  She was in line ahead of me.  I smiled at her and said hello.  I ordered and she quickly presented a gift card on her phone.  My thoughts changed in an instant.  So many questions popping in to my head all at once....

Did she sense I was having a bad week?  Was she just planning on buying a stranger coffee that morning?  
I was stunned at first.  I did turn toward her in time to thank her as she walked quickly out the door.  

I continued to process and felt perplexed and full of emotion.  I had to hold back tears.  Were they tears of joy? Relief? Happiness? A combination?

People don't suck.  Of course, I know that.  Thank you! Is all I can say to Universe or Whoever sent me the message.  I am grateful that I was mindful enough to realize these messages and reset my thoughts. I want to believe people are good at their core.

Did you ever get a message from God or the Universe?  How was it delivered?  Did it give you hope?

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I have been coming to Balanced For Life Yoga Therapy for about 2 years. I am grateful for every class I attend. I feel stronger and have gained endurance over the past year, especially by attending Core Strength and Core Cardio. These classes are unlike any others in that Denise is very conscientious and aware of how we are moving, making sure our alignment is optimal for ease of movement. I feel more balanced, happy, energetic, and confident. I love how the classes encourage me to listen to my body, instead of "push" through. Thank you!"
-Grace K. Berwyn, PA

I come in class excited about being there, stressed from the week's activities or tired from the daily grind. l always leave refreshed, optimistic, and feeling like I can take on the world. My body and mind thank me for practicing at Balanced For Life and yours will too." -Chris B.  Devon, PA

"​I am loving the sets of series Denise has been offering. It is great to go deeper to connect mind and body through breath, meditation and yoga.
