Im 2 months into my commitment of 2 hours of Yoga/Meditation Monday through Friday to start the day. It hasn't been easy to peel out of bed every day and its definitely not for those who only lean towards instant gratification. Its a process, and one that I'm in the middle of.. Spending that amount of time focusing on being aware as opposed to listening to the madman in the brain is a constant struggle. The difference between what we "think" is important and what actually "is" important couldn't be greater and its much easier to fall into the "chase." I realized awhile back that it wasnt about being "happy" it was about being at peace. Happiness has become an exercise in marketing, always elusive and just out of reach. The irony is its ultimately all a choice. We dont "become" happy, we always only can "be" happy. Most of the lessons in Yoga are extremely simple and quite frankly our brains tend to dismiss them because "it must be more complicated than that." Im slowly learning it isn't at all, and for that Im extremely grateful.
