Woke at my usual time of 5:00am and, I have to say that, there's something to be said about "habits" and how we create them.
I had gotten into the habit of sleeping in until 6:30am or 7:00am. This would leave me with no time to practice, and barely enough time to guzzle some coffee, shower, and get into work at an appropriate time.
That late rising was the reason why I hadn't practiced in awhile; I would roll over, look at my alarm, and go "BAAAH!", before rolling back over again and hitting the snooze button.
Getting out of a habit, or changing a habit, is difficult and takes focus. Even this morning, when my alarm went off at 5:00am, my brain was saying, "go back to bed for just like.........10 more minutes....".
I'm happy to say that I woke, and got started on my day.
Physically, I'm feeling similar to yesterday in that I feel "overly-solid". Again, I know that this is a result of not breaking up the stiffness and bulk of my body with a routine practice.
I feel mild soreness from the practice yesterday and I'm feeling mentally honed and ready for action. I feel like I have a lot of uncertainty (good uncertainty) in my future and there's a lot of paths that I'm waking currently that have unknown destinations. I feel like those unknown destinations are happy, positive ones, but it is a little unnerving to be on a path that you're unfamiliar with.
I'm going to dedicate my practice this morning to letting go of control and being less rigid and fussy in the face of uncertainty.

Delighted to say that, while there was some stiffness and soreness to break through from yesterday's practice, much of my flexibility, strength, stamina, and alignment hasn't gone too far.
One more full practice tomorrow morning should put me pretty close to my normal yoga bod. lol
Had a full practice this morning with a full meditation/prayer sequence.
I feel like $1,000,000 bucks! I'm going to shower, and take my energy out into the world.
