If you struggle with sticking to an exercise regime, then sign up yoga.
For this challenge, I have to get up even earlier, to be on the mat before the daily madness ensues. Which is exhausting, to begin with. But after a short while I notice that these short minutes, first thing in the morning, give me an immediate hit of calm. Even when I don't get enough sleep, I still start the day with more energy. At most, I do about 30 minutes of yoga, and notice that this helps me react more calmly in stressful situations.
After two weeks I'm in so deep, and I can't imagine life without my yoga practice. I can't wait to jump out of bed in the morning and look for a new yoga video on YouTube. In the past, I used to attend classes regularly, and this knowledge has helped me with doing home yoga sessions because I already know most of the poses and where potential mistakes can creep in. After watching a few beginner videos, I really enjoy testing myself as I work my way through the different styles. I also quickly find favourites that I always go back to.If I really don't have any time at all in the morning then I plan my yoga time out for in the evening instead.
The biggest advantage is relaxation. Instead of getting up on the wrong side of bed, and falling straight into the morning stress trap, I now have both feet firmly planted on my mat. Had I known how much good these few minutes every day would do for me, I would have started doing yoga again much sooner. It goes beyond this, as I'm much more relaxed and tolerant towards my partner now too. Likewise, I worry less and put less pressure on myself to be perfect in my everyday life.
