In the Home Stretch

Only six days left of official NaYoPracMo… Although so far I haven’t had much trouble squeezing the practices in, I’ll admit I’m finally feeling a little resistance to practicing every day — just a little “do I really want to do this?” nagging feeling in the back of my mind.  It’s funny how the mind will do its best to sabotage positive changes, however small.  The body and the spirit know that yoga every day is absolutely a Good Thing.  The mind, that little weasel, is always trying to find something else to distract itself.  Laundry, television, board games — the mind will suggest many worthy activities, anything but what I know to be the best thing to do.

This is why it’s so essential for yoga to be a matter of habit — so that there’s no internal debate and the weasel can’t talk you out of it!
