Ok, friends, we are right in the middle of the 31 day program, how are you doing?! Have you seen progress in the goals you've set?
This week may be more challenging for you. It's easy to start off with a goal and work towards it for the first few days, maybe a week, but after a while it may start to seem like a real effort to make it on the mat. If this is happening to you, just do your best. Remember the analogy of thinking of your yoga practice like a meeting with the boss. Even if you're tired, just go, get on your mat, and give what you can. If you can't do the whole practice of the suggested schedule, just take savasana, or do a different practice that suits your energy level. And don't you dare get down on yourself - if you're doing the best you can and savasana is the best you can do, then give yourself a pat on the back because you showed up and gave what you had. That's commendable.
Don't forget that if you need some support, the people at the Yoga Forum are there for you, and also don't underestimate the power of reflection. Sitting down with your journal and a cup of tea to help keep track of what's going on mentally and physically in your practice can be really therapeutic as well.
