So to go along with the title of frustration; I was just about finished this blog when I suddenly messed up my hotkeys on my keyboard and accidentally deleted this whole post. Therefore this written one will be short and sweet.
I’ve been doing core power yoga twice a week at One Yoga studio now for about a month and it was going very well up until tonight. I felt inflexible, and uncoordinated and for some reason – every muscle and joint and bone in my body was incredibly sore and were not cooperating for class. I became incredibly frustrated during many of the poses because I felt as if I couldn’t do anything. I just wanted to burst into tears and run out of the studio. Then I realized I shouldn’t be feeling this way during yoga, so then I got mad at myself and became even more frustrated.
Despite everything I toughed through it, but I’m still upset about my performance tonight.
I feel like I want to excel at yoga so badly that I’m losing focus and becoming impatient. I want it – but I want it now; and if I continue to think like this it will be my ultimate downfall.
Tell me fellow yogi’s, what can I do to get of this slump?
In the meantime I’m going to take a little break from yoga this week and give myself a week and a few days off to recuperate and get my mind back in the right place.
