HOW DO YOU FIND THE DISCIPLINE TO DO YOGA EVERY DAY?

A few years ago I did Yoga one night a week. But since I started to study Yoga, Mindfulness and Meditation, it is one of my goals to practice this every day.

But practicing Yoga on a daily basis can still be quite a challenge. Because of our busy life, we quickly push Yoga and Meditation into the background. As a result, we are again stressed and not feel fit again.

Because of this we do not have the focus and the energy we need to give the best of ourselves.

Daily Yoga and Meditation has also been a big challenge for me. And sometimes still sometimes.

But what I often hear from people I teach is that creating a new habit, such as doing Yoga every day, is incredibly difficult. Just like many people have a lot of trouble to run a few times a week.

We often start with enthusiasm with a new goal or new habit. But often it is true that we keep it up a couple of times and then let the strings go a little bit longer and, for example, skip once.

The beginning of the end…

I would like to share a number of well-known obstacles with you below. And I also want to give some tips to overcome those obstacles and build this Yoga discipline. So that eventually you will be able to do your Yoga and Meditation exercises a few times a week, so that it will become a regular habit.

Because, it is one of the best habits you can make yourself!

Known Yoga obstacles
'I have too little time'

Perhaps the most famous 'excuse' of people why Yoga does not work every day. They are too busy, too little time and run all day everywhere.

Too little time is actually a misconception. Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. The problem is that you set different priorities and therefore no longer have time for your Yoga.

Your time is your most valuable asset. You can only spend it once and it will never come back. So it's time to think carefully about your priorities.

Would you rather watch TV for useless programs for 4 hours in the evening? Or do you also spend an hour on your Yoga mat?

Speaking about that ...

Experiment with the time at which you do your exercises. If you are like most people, you have much less energy in the evening and it is therefore more difficult to stand on your Yoga mat.

I always do my exercises when I get out of bed. At a fixed time. I know I'm going to do those exercises. I can not postpone it. There are no other things planned. And afterwards I feel wonderful.

TIP: Discover the best way to practice Yoga at any time. If you have found a good time, make the decision to do your exercises daily at that time. Do not plan anything else.

'I do not know what to do'

Without having a plan of what you are going to do, your old bad habits will soon take over the helm and you will fall into your old routines.

Make a plan with which Yoga exercises you are going to do and what kind of meditation you are going to do. Write down some tips for each exercise in advance, and write down how many minutes or how many breaths you will do the exercise.

It is difficult enough to learn new habits. And if you do not know exactly what you are going to do and how you are going to do it, it is doomed to fail.

TIP: Make a plan every Sunday night for every day that you are going to do Yoga. Find some information and tips about exercises. This will cost you a maximum of one hour of your time, but increases the chances that you actually do your exercises considerably.

'I have no sense today'

If you have to wait until it is convenient for you to do Yoga, you may do Yoga 10 times a year. Do not let these thoughts control you.

You have control over your body. You decide when you are going to do Yoga. Not those 'lazy thoughts' that say that you are too tired, too busy or too weak today.

You have to choose to do your daily exercises. Whether you feel like it or not. If you wait until you feel like it, you keep postponing it.

TIP: Stand on your Yoga mat, regardless of whether you feel like it or not. Train yourself to do your exercises in whatever state you are. It does not always have to be the same exercises. if you have a physical injury, it is precisely an opportunity to train your mind by meditating.

'Hack your thoughts'

Your thoughts often fool you. For example, something that you often think of will automatically become a reality for you. While that does not have to be the case in practice. Your thoughts simply fool you.

But you can also fool your thoughts. This way your thoughts can become your greatest friend.

One of the biggest challenges of our brain is to start things. We are often inclined to postpone things until we can not really get around.

If you also have problems with this, then you can take Yoga for only 5 minutes. For example, do two exercises. Meditate for 5 minutes.

By taking only 5 minutes, you give your brain a signal that it is easy to start and that they are so off again.

Often the practice shows that you are often inclined to work longer than those 5 minutes. Once we are busy it is easier to continue. The most difficult thing is to start.

And if you really do not feel well after those 5 minutes you can always stop, but then you've tried it anyway.

'Eliminate temptation'

In recent years our thoughts have been trained to be constantly busy with something. We have to check Facebook, or we have to see our favorite program, or we have to make a phone call.

This ensures that we are constantly distracted.

Your job is to find out what your biggest weaknesses are. Where do you 'waste' the most time? You will then have to limit the time you spend on these activities.

Give yourself, for example, half an hour to watch TV, and then do something else. Watch your favorite program, but do not stick and watch the next program. You probably do not like that program, but you're already here.

No, stop after this program. It is best to plan an activity immediately after this program. For example, an hour of Yoga ;-).
