Starting again and again and ... again!

Friday, August 06, 2010

Last month I was at a farm cooking simple meals for a Yoga camp. It was so nice to be surrounded by trees, a pond near by and the silence! I love to be in nature. I love the silence and the simple routine. I did get into the routine of meditation and relaxation but not much into the postures. I walk regularly but when it comes to the postures, my body just does not comply. I notice how hard it is to get into any pose and how heavy my limbs are and how frustrating the efforts. Sometimes I will persist for a week and some days I will experience some fluidity but.. even if I miss only a day or two, I am at the beginner's level. The body becomes so heavy, and I am unable to push myself. I lose all the motivation and I just feel so bad that with so many attempts over the years I have not been able to stick with the practice. I know I need to be consistent, practice for a long time and not give up the struggle. So, here I start again! Because I do not want to give it up. I do not want to give up Yoga.

    Have you tried setting aside a certain time of day expressly for your yoga? I think it's harder to brush it aside when you know that's what you are supposed to be doing at that time.

Glad you got to be out in the trees for a while. It's always so nice to air out your head a bit!

    At least you are moving ahead and not giving up (Read FishingLady's blog...her quote is wonderful for motivation).

I am so PROUD of you for not only your motivation in wanting to change your life, but your positive attitude in your refusal to give up on yourself! Did you pat yourself on the back from the weight loss you already accomplished? No ... that's okay. I'm doing it for you! I BELIEVE IN YOU and YOU ARE A WINNER!!
