Aaaaaaaagggggghhhhhh!!!!
This summer has been a BUSY one, unfortunately at the expense of regular posts here at my beloved MommyOm. But in my BUSY-ness, I’ve come across a life saver.
Regular practice was in grave danger earlier this summer of falling entirely off my radar, with all of the demands overwhelming between work, kids, husband… and well, just plain life.
I’ve written before of how my life is really just a series of ebbs and flows and this summer has truly reflected that. And while I’ve been having a ball in the other areas of my life, practice, and fitness in general, really weren’t making it on the radar.
The absence wasn’t going unnoticed, however, and I decided, if I was going to keep things together and moving forward most effectively, at the very least, yoga (as the most enjoyable of my physical pursuits) had to given some priority.
But I knew, going from a month or so of doing nothing to all of a sudden committing an hour of my day to a practice around work, home, WAH husband and school at home kids I needed to start gently and set a goal I knew I could meet.
Sooooo… I said, I am going to do 10 minutes every day. 10 minutes, girl. 10 minutes is something you can manage. 10 minutes is EASY!! And, by golly, it is. And it’s brought tremendous benefits (a more healthy acceptance of myself… that wonderful feeling of length and limber… and, AHEM, about six pounds!!!!)
I’ve chosen some of my favourite postures, as well as those I know target particular trouble spots (PLANK, hellllooooo!), and put together a wonderfully effective practice… but I’ll have to save it for next post… I’ve a TO DO (oops! I mean, GET TO DO) list calling!
