leads to the sentence…. I should……I should have…..
Not applying insights leads to regrets.
I try to apply at least a few of my insights regarding my yoga practice.
It’s best to practice before breakfast.
In order to stretch effectively I hold the asanas longer than 5 breaths. 5 breaths is too short in order to see results. I set a timer. One minute I want to hold a forward bending asana, a twist, a back bending asana and an inversion (headstand). Repetitions are useful, too. What feels difficult feels easier when performing it more often.
I need more strength. Strength training beside my yoga practice would be the best. If I don’t find a routine here, my knowledge remains nothing but words. To start modest could be a solution.
My new place where I practice yoga pleases me a lot. It’s cosy, I have a wall that I can use for back bending asanas. It’s difficult to take pictures there. A solution will be found.
We got so used already to the corona virus, isn’t t. In the beginning I listened to the news for hours. Twice a day is enough now for me. Not much changes. We all have still to take care. Stay at home is the message. Wash your hands. The task is to stay fit at home. My yoga practice helps. All restaurants are closed. I manage it to cook every day. Otherwise we must eat sandwiches all day, or Müsli. Everything gets easier and better with a daily practice. At the shop of my vegetable dealer opened a little catering shop. They prepare pizza, even vegan ones. From time to time when I’m very lazy this could be an alternative.
Daily routines don’t bore me. My yoga practice is interesting every single day. What is possible today, I wonder. I may start lame and lazy, I finish in best mood. This transformation pleases me. It’s a little miracle every day.
I like to see the sun rise. It’s for free. One must only get up early. The black cup of coffee in the morning that I sip at my desk while writing my journal is a daily joy.
These little joys are everywhere one must only find them. I stop from time to time and enjoy them consciously. It could all get worse. This is what the corona virus tells me. To know that I can breathe deeply is such a gift.
Enjoy what is. It’s a lot.
