I make my health my priority, at least that's how it started. Now it's more like I have to have it....the yoga business is addicting. Sometimes, like today, I go to the early yoga class, I work all day and then if time and energy permit, I'll go for a walk or something. Weekends are the exception...that's when I have my family time and take care of the house (beyond daily things such as dishes, laundry and cooking). Last year at this time I wouldn't have had the energy to do half of what I do...it's been a gradual process and now if I don't do it, I miss it. My body misses it. For example, I thought I'd luxeriate in taking a night off about 2 months ago. I came home right after work and plopped myself in my favorite recliner. I was there for maybe 20 minutes when I got antsy and had to go do something. If you keep at this, exercise even on the days you don't want to, it will get to be this way for you too. In addition, I never look at my exercise time as work or even exercise for that matter....it's play for me. If it isn't fun and I don't enjoy it, I won't do it for long.....attitude and perception is everything!
Gotta scoot...class in 30 minutes and here I am in my jammies!!!
