After many years of practice I still get resistant to practice yoga.
Life's demands and routines can get in the way. I hear myself saying "Oh I will practice tonight as need to get to work this morning" or some other excuse.
But one thing that can't be ignored is the way my body and I start to feel. My body starts to get sore and aches especially my shoulders and back after hours over my computer. I start to loose focus but try to work harder to compensate and this then causes frustration. My balance starts to tip then a headache will appear then ahhhh. I have to listen.
And it was the same when I started yoga. I knew how good I felt after my practice but found it real hard to weave it into my daily schedule.
One of the best things I did and still do today when I am feeling that outside life is taking over, is place my yoga mat beside my bed, so it's the first thing I see when I get out of bed and the last thing I see when I go to bed at night. And believe me it works and is what got my own self practice rolling.
Just seeing it there and knowing how good you feel after you practice will get your yoga juices flowing. You may take to it for 5 minutes or an hour or more and that feeling once you are done will start to outweigh the cranky feelings you wake up, drag around your day with or put yourself to bed with.
