I know I should...
get back into yoga. I know that yoga will dramatically improve if not fix my back pain. I know that my shoulders and arms will be stronger. I know that I will be more centered and find it easier to breath through stressful times. I know this because I've done yoga before and all these things happened. I even enjoyed doing yoga. I know that my goal of walking strong at 55 requires a healthy back and strong legs. I know all this and yet, once again, I'm sitting here talking about getting back to doing yoga.
Will it happen this time? Maybe the pain of not changing is finally worse than the effort it takes to change. The fact that I will be in Hilo at my new office during the week will certainly make it easier to get to classes. And classes are a must for me. I've never finished a yoga DVD yet, I get bored and quite before it's half way through, but I've never walked out of a class. So classes are definitely required for my success.
Change isn't always easy. And just because you know what you could do to get and stay healthier, doesn't mean you choose to do it. If change was easy we'd all be doing what was good for us. Scientists are still trying to figure us out and I'm still trying to figure out what will get me to yoga on Wednesday at 9 am at the Balancing Monkey. I've got it in my schedule and I've set the reminder. I've pulled out my yoga clothes and they're ready to go. I've established a definite what, when and where and I'm planning on using all of you to hold me accountable for this session (please!).
I'm letting go of "should" and focusing on all the reasons I might "want to".
Can you let go of "should" and focus on "want to" this week?
