When I don’t find time for yoga or photography I know I have to get rid of habits like watching TV or I have to get rid of things. Stuff always comes to me as if I were a magnet. It cries for attention. It needs to get cleaned, stored whatever. Sometimes it’s also necessary to do what needs to be done.
I’m working on making my life simpler. This means to go through habits, stuff, activities and to let go if possible. An empty space has beauty. Doing nothing can be wonderful. Just sitting on a bench and watching the breath can be so relaxing.
Being a yogi and living a simple life belongs together. If one gives in to too many distractions that life has to offer, time for yoga fades away. Then it’s time to pause and to reorganize the day. Then it’s time to get rid of unnecessary stuff. It’s time to find out where the time goes.
A lot of things are done now and I’m ready again to start my yoga week tomorrow morning (after a week off).
