Wednesday, August 30, 2023, Habits, good and bad, creep in over time.  It's important to be aware of one's habit's; both good and bad. Part II: A soft, light, and somewhat "odd" practice this morning but, what's to be expected when I haven't been on my mat in a few weeks.  I've been busying myself with half-marathon training runs, and other physical activities so haven't been getting up at my normal 4:15am for awhile.  Let's see if I can reinstate the habit.  Namaste

Thursday, August 3, 2023,  Don't be soft on yourself (don't be overly hard either, but definitely er on the side of non-softness). On my mat at 5:23am, and it's time to begin... Part II: On my mat having just concluded this morning's practice.  It's 7:10am as I type this, and I have got to get better about ending closer to 6:45am-ish.  The title of today's post is don't be soft......as I mentioned in my Part I, don't be overly-hard either, but erring on the side of softness isn't good.  Hold yourself to a high standard and high expectation at all times.  Time to enter the world.  Namaste

Tuesday, August 1, 2023, Awake at the usual 4:15am for coffee and contemplation, and on my mat a little later than normal at 5:29am.  Time to begin... Part II: It's 7:10am as I type this and I'm out of Savasana after an excellent pratice.  I think I've let bad habits creep into my practice (uncontrolled breathing...uncontrolled thinking...etc.).  I'm going to gently, and lovingly, try to move the needle and redirect.  Time to enter the world.  Namaste
