40 Days of Yoga - Day 2

[just_ann_now]

Well, I completed my goal of at least 45 minutes of yoga, but I'm not entirely pleased with how I did it.

For the second time within the past several weeks, I pissed away a wonderful opportunity to do a long, meaty session - I just couldn't get my head into the right place for it. Couldn't concentrate, let my body go through the motions of two very choppy short sessions, while my head was who-knows-where. It's probably due to the fact that I went out, ran errands, started projects, and then tried to stick in the yoga practice to fill time between other things. I think my yoga brain (a part of my brain I've learned to love and respect very much) is saying, "Whoa, wait, I'M the most important thing you'll do today." So I need to remember that: one these wonderfully wide-open days, the yoga has to come first.

On the weekends, I get the occasional opportunity to sleep in, and when I take advantage of it, and then try to do yoga later in the day, I defintely find it less satisfying. It never fails that people want to talk to me or are just bored with me doing yoga and want me to be done now. Or want to join me, but get bored. I will do my yoga in the afternoon as better than nothing, but I will always wish I did it first thing.

I guess it was pretty ridiculous to think that breakfast at Starbucks (a rarity), Target when it was uncrowded, and a haircut without an appointment should take priority over a long yoga morning. Silly me.

I'm still gobsmacked at how much you get accomplished with little'uns around. Wow.
