It’s fair to say I reached a point of study fatigue last week. Getting grouchy about lack of time, not happy with study materials and getting frustrated that nothing was ‘going in’ (as in staying in my 48 year old brain 🙈)
I have to often remind myself of some basic rules of a yoga lifestyle.
Make sure YOU are ok and then your ok-ness will spill over to:
Make sure your family are ok
So today, I spent time with my family. Only minimal time spent studying 📚 rounded off with a lovely swim.
It was very much needed after months of full on study and trying to implement EVERYTHING I have been learning (not even vaguely possible). It’s going to take a loooooong time to implement everything. One of the things we were reminded of by our teacher in yesterday’s lesson was that it’s called yoga ‘practice’ for a reason. If things go wrong, get up and start again.
I have made time this evening for some gentle, meditative Asana & Pranayama. Hopefully this will help with sleep 💤
So tomorrow I will try to implement my new ‘Achara’ (routine). It starts at 6am and getting up has always been a problem form me, so wish me luck 🙃
