How to practice yoga everyday? About 8 years ago I attended a yoga class with my mom, who has been practicing yoga for a while as that is a very effective way to release her lower back pain, but I was quite skeptical about it when I was introduced to yoga at the first time (mostly because I was a super lazy girl back to teenage time), I still do though, I still don’t think yoga will be that magical as the advertising you might see here or there. But after dealing with yoga for so many years ( there were days I’ve been too lazy to move, also days and years I just gave it up entirely as I was busy with something else, or shifted to the gym), yoga isn’t that ‘hippie-dippie’ to me anymore, and it actually helped me became much healthier also more grounded, it also changed the way how I approach other goals in a more consistent and patient way. So I want to write it down as a journal to remind myself what to think, when I got distracted or challenged in the future . So how to motivate yourself to practice yoga every day? 1, Find a yoga program that interests you as well as suits your current level, at first when I see those beautiful, advanced yoga poses I wanted them all, although I can’t even do a proper downward-facing dog, of course then I got frustrated easily and quickly gave it up. It was 3 years ago I started practice systematically, starting from handstands and other arm-balancing programs, it took me almost 1.5 years to be handstand-free from the wall, and I practiced the same handstand program during this period almost 5 days a week. 2, Enjoy the process instead of goals, the goal is shining and pretty, but the journey isn’t, the process is usually sweaty and dirty, if we cannot enjoy the process, we might give up very quickly too and always on the way to set other ’goals’. 3, Prepare your yoga suits next to your pillow the night before, make time for yourself and showing up every day. 4, Be excited and grateful for a little, tiny improvement/achievement you’ve made in this journey. 5, Eat healthy, drink enough water and sleep well, to make sure you have that energy to move your body. PS: I came across quite a few posts regarding the coronavirus outbreak, people are stuck at home like what we experienced in the last two months. If you're wondering what to do to keep yourself active and busy, yoga might be a good choice, all you need is a yoga mat and a quiet room. I hope you all are safe and take care!
