Motivation is a curious thing. We often search for it, wait for it to appear before we begin something important. But in truth, motivation tends to follow action, not the other way around. Rather than focusing on big outcomes, try beginning with one small step. Build a habit from that, and the motivation and often inspiration will flow naturally.

In the Yoga Sutras (1.14), the concept of Sadhana is introduced as “a means of accomplishing something.” It’s a daily spiritual practice, not about perfection, but about commitment—showing up each day with intention, reverence, and love. Through this consistent practice, yoga begins to shift from something we do to something we are. It becomes a way of life.

Your Sadhana doesn’t need to be complicated. Start simply: 10 minutes of meditation, silent reflection, sun salutations, journaling, or intention setting. Whatever helps you feel grounded and invites stillness and meaning into your daily rhythm.

Over time, Sadhana cultivates inner strength, perseverance, and patience. Some days will feel light and easy, others more challenging, but it’s the returning, especially when it’s hard, that is the real celebration.

Let your Sadhana be flexible. Some days it may be 10 minutes, other days more. What matters is that you keep showing up.

And if you miss a day, start again the next. Gently. Kindly. Without judgment. Your Sadhana is your sacred rhythm—let it be your guide.
