Wandering Mind

Working from home has its perks but if you lose that motivation… I’m enjoying being home due to winter break at school but I think I have more to do now than when school is in session.  I’ve told myself I’m going to have a productive day today so no excuses…  

Practice was good today.  Day 2 without the music.  I definitely think this is better for the mental and spiritual parts of my practice.  The lack of music allows my practice to be mindful instead of mindless.  There’s more of the voices and commentaries but when they go away for a breath or two or ten then my practice takes on a different quality.  Physically, today was challenging.  My shoulders gave out early and I’m not entirely sure why.  They were just exhausted about halfway through.  It made vinyasas a real trick and caused a bit of a face plant and roll when coming out of Bhuja Pindasana.  Chakrasanas were also more challenging, but I just kept going.  No skipping, no shortening (a little lard, but I’m working on that) I just kept working through each pose, finding the breath and relaxing into the pose.  My hips and knees are venturing into new territory, too.  Where did we say that line is???

And I love going to the grocery after practice.  I still impulse shop just as much as normal but instead of chocolate, pizza, or ice-cream I grab fruit, vegetables, and things that are actually good for me.

Ok, Work, Here I go, I’m really going to do it…
