Needless to say, it wasn't pretty this morning, and with just three hours sleep, two kids to get to school and pre-school, five hours in the office and a meeting with my daughter's preschool teacher, I did wonder how I would actually face a one-and-a-half hour yoga class without hitting the wall.
But I did, and I'm thankful for it.
I feel so much more energetic now, at 9.35pm, than I felt at say, 3pm. It's a busy day for me, every day, and this is what I'm trying to conquer with this yoga challenge. There are so many things to remember, people to fit in, jobs to do, I find it very hard to slow down. When I do yoga, I slow down. Sometimes I think about the groceries, the birthday gifts I need to buy or the ballet shoes that have gone missing, but generally I can come back and focus on what I'm doing and calm down.
I want to be able to do this in my life, not just in yoga class.
In tonight's discussion, we were asked to note down how we feel today, day one, and to think about what we want from the 40 day yoga program. Here's my list:
I feel generally happy and blessed in life. I'm comfortable with my 'self', with who I am. I'm introspective enough to know what that means. I'm good with my body and with my diet. I'm generally in a good frame of mind most of the time.
- I do however, feel perpetually rushed. I want to feel calm.
- I have constant chatter in my mind. I want to find peace.
- I find it difficult to do nothing. I want to learn to just be.
- I have a list of things that must be done. I want to let go.
