It's funny how the mind works. I resisted practicing today. Although consciously, I told myself that I was going to a class today, it seemed that subconsciously, I was doing everything in my power to not practice today.
1. I didn't take either a change of clothes or my yoga mat with me when I left the house this morning.
2. I lost track of time at work and did not leave to make it to class on time.
3. I told myself that I would leave soon so that I could practice at home before getting ready to meet my friend for dinner, instead I kept on looking for more work to do and ended staying at work even later - on a Friday!
4. I told myself that I would do some yoga to wind down from the day after dinner. I got home from dinner so overstuffed with fish & chips and lemon sour cream pie!
Eventually, I laid my mat down on the living room floor, turned on a yoga podcast and decided to breath, stretch, and twist for only 20 minutes. 45 minutes later, I am done. I practiced. It is a late practice, but I committed to a daily practice for 30 days and I did it. I must admit that I didn't feel very good for most of the practice because I was still so full and bloated from dinner - but I did it and I'm glad that I did it. Now I can sleep peacefully knowing that I did what I committed to do 12 days ago.
I can commit to something and stick to it...even when I am resisting. YES! I can persevere!
Namaste.

Isn't it funny / sad how we stand in our way most of the time?
