first year manifestation

I  started to write this blog one year ago in August. The only purpose I had was gaining self-discipline through daily yoga practice. Here, in front of people reading this blog, I promised myself to do yoga every single day. I guess I managed to kept that promise for about 2 months. Then, life happened. I skipped a day, it became a habit. At first, I tried very hard to keep up at the same pace although I knew I was hurting myself most.

But Yoga itself is such a profound organism that I, soon, proved skipping a day didn't mean I was too weak to continue. It wasn't mean I was lack of self discipline or talent. I taught myself this. Committing to my practice by this blog has taught me this. 

What I cared for was the process itself.  It is very true that sometimes I got very obsessive and ambitious. It is absolutely accurate that sometimes I pushed my body too hard to achieve something earlier than it was to happen. However, these were okay, too, since I slowly learnt to be patient, to listen to my body rather than my constantly demanding mind. 

In the shadow of our minds and thoughts, we, people, often forget the power of our bodies. We underestimate what our physical selves can do. You take your car to a serviceman for its maintenance. You clean your house, organise your bookshelves, wash your clothes. You even take care of your appearance when you go to a hair saloon for a haircut, manicure or pedicure. But, sadly, you almost never consider the health of your own body truly. What about your internal organs? Don't they need your attention? They certainly DO. I have figured out Yoga is the best way for me to look out for my body. Because, if I know the language of my body, I can realise its respond to every move I make, to every breath I take. 

I will keep spreading words about doing Yoga. I will never stop doing what I am doing here. 

Namaste.
