Around this time of year, people are still trying resolutions.
I do this a little differently; I have goals and I start small. If I don't do it once, I pick it up and do it again.
Example: I have chronic pain. My goal for the next 3 months is to do sun salutations. My bigger goal is to get to yoga 3-4 times a week. (I am also hoping this can reduce some of my meds, but I digress.)
Today's mind dialogue: "I hurt." WE ARE PUTTING OUT THIS MAT. "Who cares?" YOU DO.
"I can't do it, I hurt and nobody cares." SIT ON THE MAT AND BREATHE UNTIL YOU CAN. PEOPLE DO CARE. *breathing* *stretching* *one set of sun salutations* "OMG I DID IT!"
THAT'S RIGHT. SEE YOU AT MEDITATION.
A great teacher once said about writing blocks: "Can you write a paragraph? If you can't, write a sentence. "Can you write a word?"If you can't, can you put out a piece of paper or a computer file."
A bit ago, I had an empty document. Now, here I am with a blog post. Not perfect, but there.
Happy New Year.
