Yoga Challenge, Day 10: Back on Track

The DVD remote is fixed. Or to be more precise, it started working again, just as mysteriously as it had stopped. I still have no idea what happened, all I did was push the same buttons over and over again until it worked. Doesn't matter - the important thing is that it's back!

And here's something else I didn't expect - how much I would love this, once I got into it. I've said that before, only half-joking: ha ha, who knew I would actually learn to like exercising! But this time it's different - it's like I really have become addicted to yoga. I think about it ALL the time. When I'm bored or stressed or I have five minutes to spare, I wonder if I could do some yoga. Between sessions, I'm always thinking ahead to the next one. And there have been several occasions where I've wondered if it would be unreasonable to do a second session in a day.

I have enjoyed doing yoga for as long as I've known about it, and I did expect to get more "into" it as the challenge progressed. But I really didn't anticipate the depth of my feelings for my practice, or to have it take up so much mental energy even when I wasn't doing it.

I wonder what will happen after the challenge. I assume I won't make such an effort to continue with a daily practice - but at the same time, this really hasn't been much of an effort so far anyway. Will I continue with a regular practice, if not a daily one? Will I miss it, if I don't?

And now, if you'll excuse me, it's been half an hour since I finished my last session. About time I got started on my next one!
