I can't tell you how many times I have made commitments to improve myself. The new year comes, and with it, the feeling of starting over, a clean slate, good intentions. These things are like drugs to me. I love them, and they are fraught. So what makes this year any different? Possibly nothing, but possibly a few things.
- I told people about it. And as my best friends and I have made a commitment to being accountable to ourselves and each other, I'm hoping that will help keep me on track.
- I have a clear plan. I am following Whole Living's Whole Body Action Plan and the Yoga Journal 21-Day Challenge (which I will extend to 28 days to make the two line up).
- The theme of this year for me is taking care of myself. And I am continually reminding myself that no one else is going to do it.
So it's begun. I did a short morning sequence this morning when I woke up and so far, it feels like hell. After injuring my back this fall and a nasty cold last week, my muscles seems to have been replaced with some hard and inflexible fabric. My body doesn't feel anything like my body at the moment.
I suppose that's why we're here.
