what if

A few years ago I wrote this post about the futility of “what if” moments.

But every now and then I wonder “what if things could be different?”  What if we could change not just our stories but the stories of the world around us, those in built societal beliefs? What would that look like? What would they be?

Well here are a few of mine.

What if:-

* we all just quit it with the endless overachieving and allowed ourselves to just be?

* yoga wasn’t always about standing on your head/hands in fancy pants?

* we worried less about what we ate or when we ate it?

* we accepted that it’s OK to be unhappy sometimes?

* we were kinder, to ourselves, to others, to all living beings?

* guilt didn’t exist?

* men and women really were equal?

* we paid more attention to our physical body?

* we paid less attention to our physical body?

* our only inspiration was simply our wonderful self?

* we stopped trying to be someone we’re not?

* we embraced our inner lazy?

* we worked a 4-day week (and discovered nothing changed)?

* we all bought local and seasonal and the big supermarkets didn’t exist?

* we genuinely believed there was enough?

* it’s all just Maya?
