Niyama 5 of 5 :: Ishvarapranidhana (ईश्वरप्रणिधान)

Ish-vara-prani-d-hana (ईश्वरप्रणिधान) :: Surrender to [The Universe / God / Reality] and let go of allowing expectations to control your emotions. Do your best to be your most authentic self and fully live YOUR life. Remember that you have a choice to do away with worrisome, stressful, and negative thoughts. We like to control every action and outcome which results in disappointment when things don't go "right". Yes- it can be hard and scary to remind yourself that only our ultimate reality has control of what's next. Use vulnerability and courage to learn not only your boundaries, but how to navigate through difficult situations without getting hung-up on the parts that you didn't, and don't have control of. Show yourself what you're made of, your truth in this moment. Make it about the relationship between you and The Universe. Do your best right now. Realize that it's out of your hands, and look forward to the bounties of your future. This is what it means to practice Ish-vara-prani-d-hana. Surrender and sense the relief and empowerment in your daily life.
