Wandering Mind

I fought it as best I could.  Tooth and nail – I did Not want to get on my mat.  I procrastinated for two hours because I didn’t want to “waste” two hours to practice when I could be getting lots of good work done.  I didn’t want to go outside, the studio was cold, etc., etc., etc… Why do I do this to myself?  I had the best, most blissful practice that I’ve had in ages.  I’m curious why, when something nearly always produces positive results, we (I) try to avoid it…  I know I keep coming back to this but I think one of the reasons it was so good today was the lack of music…  The ability to focus and be aware of  my Self… It’s really beyond words…  So I’ll stop talking about it.

I actually did get some work done yesterday.  Unfortunately I lost all desire to work when I yelled at the cat’s for knocking something over and the dog peed on the floor.  (She’s old…and has a nervous bladder…) and of course she was on the carpet instead of the tiled floor.   Cleaning up dog pee always kills my desire to work.  So I read a little in Light on Yoga and tried to get a little more of it to stick in my head, but sometimes I think my brain is Teflon coated.

But today is a new day – and nearly half over… I guess I should get back to it.
