Deadlines and completing challenges seem to divert our attention to what is really going on.
I have been doing Bikram Yoga for 113 days, I am in the middle of my second 60-day challenge, and in a week, I can say that I was successful in completing those two challenges, but what I would have failed to see is the affects and where I stand today.
Challenges and deadlines become more concrete than the actual practice, they loom larger and get more attention than the actual affects the body wears.
As I was doing my poses today, I could see where I still needed work, but also how far I have come, witnessed the strength and muscles that I have grown in the past 113 days; I am growing a yoga body.
This challenge is almost over and I know that if I were to feel success was completing It, and not completing each pose to its ultimate, I would be done.
Done with the challenge, but not done becoming healthy and strong.
I like the challenges, they keep me continuing, but each time one ends, I look in the mirror and know I want to keep going beyond the challenge.
