I have been struggling for quite a while with establishing a routine for daily practice. If I wait too long into the day, I tend not to practice. Other things get in the way.
I walk in the mornings with a friend for an hour. For a long time, we’ve been starting at 6 am. Recently we slid it back to 5:45, and now I’m getting my my daily practice.
If I get back to the house at 7:00, my husband is up and reading the paper, and the coffee is on. It’s hard to walk past that cozy scene and down to my yoga spot. If I get back at 6:45, the house is dark and quiet, and I go right to the mat. Later I can hear breakfast noises, but at that point I’m in the middle of my practice, so I’m not tempted to quit.
I’m very pleased with this new arrangement.
Nice! This is just the kind of tweaking I have to do all the time to stay on track.
