Wow! I was so tired that I fell asleep earlier without having written anything today. Crazy tired, I guess it's a good thing. Sleep well earned! Good thing I woke up to go to the bathroom or Day 6 would have faded into nothingness...phew!
Day 6 was a bit of a challenge in that I felt like my mind was tired. It was hard for me to stay focused on the postures. But I did manage to do some things that I couldn't do when I started this 6 days ago, so I felt good about that.
The thing that I'm really coming to learn is that Bikram has been good at opening me up, and letting me see where I am now. I've been buried in health crap for a couple of years, and I feel myself breaking free of that protective armor. When I leave the studio, I usually feel as though I am better able to take on the world!
Add to that, my mornings have been so much better. I am NOT a morning person, and yet I look forward to waking up, putting on my yoga gear, and starting my day in that heated room. I've been in "10-day challenge" mode in my head, that I'm wondering if it's now habit. I'm surprised at how automatic it has felt this past week. My enthusiasm hasn't waned, though my frustration with myself seems the same. I really want to work past that, and get to a place where I can just go in, do what I can, and be satisfied with that.
Gee, have I actually started my practice?
