Default plateau in 2008

I just can't seem to get back into bikram this year, I was planning to but I seem to have a mental block about getting back to my studio.

My body is telling me to get there but my mind is being bloody minded (it sometimes does this) and I just can't get the motivation. HELP! Any words of wisdom to help me with this plateau????

I've definitely been there in the past. What helped me was to bite the bullet and just go and do one class. Even if my mind was saying don't do it I just made myself go. Usually once I've gone back I realise why I love yoga and it gets me back into the spirit.

If that doesn't work, then take some time out, do something else that you love and have a break. Sooner or later when it feels right you'll come back to it.

just take it one moment at a time

sometimes we get overwhelmed when we think about the big picture

just think about one little baby step at a time. if you just take one little step at a time you will be fine.

if you progress to a place where you don't want to take even one little baby step, then stop right there... or even take a step back if you want. no worries

pen and paper
make two lists of ten reasons why you really love and why you really hate yoga

then make a list of all your bikrami friends of whom you have phone numbers
phone up half of them and tell them how much you adore their gorgeous spirit etc
and phone the other half and tell them you never want to see their smug auras ever again etc

then listen to your inner voice for further instructions

Sounds like you're getting things of your chest there too diddididle?!!! Nothing like a bit of aura spanking to get you in the yogic spirit. Sal, if that doesn't get you back I don't know what will!
