Sometimes it’s really hard to make myself go to yoga.
Sometimes it’s when I’m in a bad headspace. I convince myself that this is just how it is for the day. There’s nothing I can do about it (which is not true).
But sometimes it’s when I’m in a good headspace. When I’ve been consistently doing yoga and writing, I convince myself that I’m feeling okay. I don’t need yoga today. It’s like when you’re taking medicine to get over an illness and you start to feel better on day 5, but the doctor said to take 10 days worth of medicine. You stop taking the medicine on day 5 because you’re feeling fine but then you get sick again. I easily get in this cycle with yoga. So I have to make reminders for myself to go. I have to force myself to go sometimes. I have to practice discipline.
Sometimes (a lot of the times) when I make it to class, my mind is still racing and I’m constantly looking at the clock wondering when class will be over, but I always leave feeling lighter, more at peace with my mind, and more equipped to face all the things.
Discipline and consistency are important, especially when I think I don’t need either.
