Finding The Thread of Good
This morning I tried to do my own practice here in my little room.... it was not a good practice or even a whole practice. I couldn't touch my toes... my muscles lacked strength... my first few sun sals were horrible and I gave up, left the room... then thought "This is not hard, I practice all the time, I used to practice 2x a week without a teacher, what is holding me back..." Back into the room, some breathing, some research stretching... a few could sun sals... moved through the first couple standing postures and just nearly collapsed... muscle weakness, lack of concentration... This is the story of my health as of late... blood sugar was seriously depleted... I ate a bit, took my vitamins and instantly felt better... makes me wonder how I'll ever have a morning practice. Does one just get used to not eating until 10am? Blood sugar imbalances are touch for hypothyroid people to manage and since my medication is already off, it's feasible this morning was just a really bad hypo morning but I'm about sick of my own excuses. If I can't make a class tomorrow, I've promised myself a solo practice tomorrow evening... I really want to get back to the 5-6x per week practice I had before my health took a nose dive.
