Reasons why people don’t reach their goals:

1. They have no goals or too many.

2. They forget their goals. Or do you still remember the New Year Goals? Who does remember a goal on a daily basis. Who writes down the most important goal daily? Not so many, I guess.

3. The goals are not realistic, not precise enough. A time frame is missing. The steps to achieve this goal are not planned. There is no control system.

There are surely more reasons.

And of course there are people who are successful and reach their goals easily because they have an effective method to get where they want to be.

It felt like a shock, when I checked the frequency of my yoga practice on my habit app. My goals are often ambitious. Learning the 4 Ashtanga yoga series, focus on kapotasana and coming up from urdhva dhanurasana is one goal. I want to take perfect pictures of each asana. And I want to practice 6 days a week.

My insight: It’s distracting, too much and the path to get there is missing.

Mentally and also in my apps I deleted these dreams that shall become true one day. I pick me where I am.

All asanas improve when I practice daily.

It feels modest, but it isn’t when I focus on one goal only. I want to increase the frequency of my practice from 26% to at least 50% till the end of August. This would be a huge success. The conditions are perfect. I can practice at home. I’m not staying at someone else’s home. I’m not traveling and living in hotel rooms. My home is the best place for my Ashtanga yoga practice.

Saturday is my day off. Yesterday was Saturday.

After a break it’s usually a tiny bit more challenging to start. Focusing on only one goal concentrates all the available energy. I practiced. It felt good. The feeling to have reached a tiny step is uplifting That’s how it shall be.

I integrate soft and challenging back bending positions into my practice.
