Woke at the usual 5:00am but, just like yesterday, I am not feeling it today......
Don't know why it was difficult to get up (especially when I woke up naturally at 5:00am this past Sunday morning).
In any event, perseverance, and self-control are two good traits to have so, needless to say, I'll be hitting my mat here shortly....

Post practice post. You'll never regret exercising your perseverance and self-control. I feel like, at times, that's the #1 way to boost your confidence and self-esteem. I hit my mat and ran through the standard series I've been following with the addition of two full upward bows at the end of the practice. Upward bow is a strong and strenuous pose that is typically done at the end of a full practice so that your back, arms, and shoulders have had a chance to become completely warmed up and limber.
While it's one of my favorite poses, and it combats a lot negative aspects (bad posture, weak digestion, etc.), you can (and I have) hurt yourself in it. Because of that, I'm going to be working on them gradually instead of "full steam ahead", as I have a yearning to do with difficult poses. Again, a fine enough practice with nothing too special to report and the addition of full upward bows at the end.
Time to skooch into work.
Namaste.
