I have been practising a lot of yoga recently. It's maybe because I have had a yet another stressful and busy month in September. I am off on annual leave (today is my last day) and I have felt the freedom and have had and made the time to practice regularly.
At first I found I wasn't really interested in getting back into a practice. I found as soon as I started my practice I would feel myself dreading what is yet to come. Am I gonna experience pain today because I've been out of practice for a while? How long is long enough? Maybe I can get away with only doing 5-10 mins. Surely that's better than nothing? (It is if you aren't well, have a lot going on in one day etc, not when you are off on annual leave not doing anything anyway, there's no excuse for that) I then felt this little quiet voice in my head say "just go with it, let go of the future and just be present here and now" And it literally felt like melting into this right here, right now. Instead of clinging on to thoughts about the future, and planning what to do after this etc. (sometimes I do this when meditating as well I have realised) I've felt like this is my me time to watch the thoughts as they float by in my head, to let them fizzle out. To recognise those feelings of anxiety and let them be felt, then watch them fizzle out as well/let them run their course. My practice has literally been a life saver for me the last 10 days. I've felt brave enough to try new things and everything. So that has been good.
