For the past week or so, I've lacked motivation to hit my mat. Why is this?.....
I've been typically ignoring my feelings (which can be good, at times) and have been hitting my mat and forcing myself to practice, but it's felt like a grind for a while now and I wonder if there's anything I can do to inject some fun back into it all.....
Why have I been writing and maintaining this blog for 3 months?....
1. To have something to report to on a daily basis that tracks my progress.
2. To, ultimately share with the world and inspire others to enrich their lives through a yoga practice.
3. To deepen my own understanding of myself and my yoga practice.
I'm going to seek out ways to get inspired and try to incorporate that into my practice and into my life. I'm also going to be gentle and patient with myself (something I need to work on) and allow myself time to understand what could be causing this lack of motivation.
Time to hit my mat......

Post-Savasana bliss is what I'm in at the moment. My physical practice was wonderful this morning. My forward bending is definitely hitting a plateau but, with effort and intention put into my forward bends, I can break up the bound muscle fairly easily. A word to anyone who runs; STRETCH-IT-OUT-AFTER-EACH-RUN!!! I don't even want to think what my legs and feet would feel like if I wasn't countering the tension built from running with an equally aggressive yoga practice.
I finished with my modified primary series and a closing sequence with 3 upward bows. It feels wonderful to end with these poses as they open up the front of the body. Additionally, they're a great metaphor for life in that the first one is the hardest, second one is easier, and, by the third one, you've opened up to it and the pose is fluid and effortless.
Mentally, I feel like I've focused on negative aspects of life lately...."what's the purpose of what I'm doing", and, "why don't I have any motivation". *pshaw*.......I'm going to move at an intentional pace today and try to find renewed meaning and intention behind the tasks that I'm given today be they professional, personal, or otherwise.
Time to shower up and tackle the day.....
Namaste
