"When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change." Unknown
As I lay in bed for the 58th day, I still had the urge to just stay right there, resenting or fighting the idea of yoga.
I had many excuses clamoring for my attention; too tired, too early, too chilly, not now…. But with work looming in a few hours, I simply got up and silenced them all.
Somedays it seems just too much to ask of myself, as I look out over my scheduled day, but I vowed to put the challenge first, and for some reason feel I can’t let it down on a whimpy excuse. If I do stop it will be for the mother of all excuses.
And really to come this far, with just a couple of days to complete it, I must go on, I am almost there!
This numbers game can be tricky for it can wear you out as you look ahead, but it can also spur you on when you look behind and see so many done already or so few left to go.
Counting can make you feel like you are in a life sentence, where you are locked into this silly game all for the numbers.
But is that true? At the end of this journey called 60 days of yoga in 60 days, is that all we have is a pile of 60.
Just a heap of 60, is that all that will be there?
Our minds focus on the numbers, busy adding up and subtracting, figuring out our payoff, tallying up the cost against the benefits, forever calculating efforts verses excuses, mind calculating if 60-day challenge is worth it.
Worth it to who? The mind? Really the mind gets to decide? Not the body, not the feelings, not the residual affects that appear in life, just a calculating mind?
What these 58 days have shown me, is that if I let the calculating mind decide, no yoga would have happened, none, zero, nothing.
For it is in the minds best interest to not do yoga, for then it remains the master of this body, instead of the Spirit of who I am.
Here is the score Ms. Calculating Mind thus far; Mind Zero, Spirit 58!
