Making the Time

I would love to have a backdrop like this one every morning to practice my sun salutations. I would also love to have 3 full hours every morning to do it....so I can take my time, linger in each posture and then take a savasana nap only to be woken by the rays of sun getting warmer on my skin.

Life, however, has other plans for me right now...

I am inspired to write this morning as I have recently started my own personal challenge of waking up (much) earlier that I normally do to allow time for a bit more morning yoga and meditation and the peace of mind that it brings me. What inspired this? Well..since my office is at home, it has been easy to make every morning a 'sleep-in' morning and let my yoga and meditation practice become a bit of an afterthought.

Now, it is friday and the end of an early week. Today is the first day that I woke up without the alarm, which I take as good sign. Not only that, but I am getting used to waking up to a delicious yoga session before beginning my work on the computer and other daily things. Even more so, I am getting used to the sense of peace that lingers a little longer through the days, and a little less mental garbage distracting me with worry and other negative thinking.

We all have our own habits. Some of them helpful and serving our peace of mind and sense of liberation....and others that drag us a little deeper into the mud.
