I ached to go to the beach today. But I didn’t allow myself. It’s Monday and I had a number of tasks to do:
Yoga practice
Clean house/clean yoga studio
Write post for www.yogaanywhere.net (website is no more)
Post to Facebook YogaAnywhere x 2
Send posts to social media
Pack orders of YogaAnywhere cards for posting
View week 3 video for on-line anatomy and physiology course
Continue painting project for studio
Prepare content for evening class and teach it
See, no time.
I’ve been complaining about all the things I have to do until I got sick of listening to myself. Now, I’ve broken the back of my long list by just by shutting up and doing them.
It’s about choice. Yoga is about remembering that.
Tomorrow – sunny and 24 degrees – and going for a walk on the beach is back on my list.
