inconsistency, then yoga, then headdy rambling, then inconsistency
Ok, so I always thought my most unfavorable characteristic that tends to set me back in my life's journey was procrastination, but I'm coming to learn that it's inconsistency. I love to learn new things, start new tasks, even daydream about starting the task, but my butt doesn't seem to always finish what I've started. For instance, I recently completed (yes, completed!) a 200 hour yoga teacher training course. Part of me knew when I embarked upon this eight month intensive that somewhere in the back of my mind the teaching aspect of yoga wasn't what I really wanted to persue. I have practiced teaching, flubbed over my words, and gotten through it, but teaching just isn't really what I want to do. I don't know, maybe I haven't done it enough to truly reap the reward of giving yoga to people. And this is not to say that I regret the course, because I don't...it is my greatest accomplishment so far. I am more well-rounded, positive, and especially egar to learn new things about the world and yoga, be it philosophy, asanas, meditation, or the environment because of the yoga course. I know that I will also go further with my training, but I feel that it is just going to be for the growth and enlightenment of my being. Practicing yoga is two fold; the poses on the mat, and taking the essence of yoga with you everyday, off the mat. I strive to embrace both aspects of yoga and feel like my soul is brighter and more exuberant because I take yoga with me everywhere. A great quote I recently heard from a documentary called, "What the Bleep?" is, "What happens within us is what will happen outside of us." Meaning to consciously create an intention for your day, week, lunch break...anything. If you create the intention and believe in it, it reveals the fundamental charastic of western religion, acceptance without proof.
I seem to have gotten off my inconsistency path...see?? I'm inconsistent! But whatever, now I'm off to learn how to make a hemp bracelet, the directions to which I have been staring at for 3 days. Peace.

It posted twice, so I deleted the other one. I know, I know- I'm a goof...
I wanted to post something about Yoga and that came to mind. I couldn't think of a better joke. Sorry!
