An excerpt from a journal entry I did for yoga training, written June 6th: This was written in a moment when I was having a hard time focusing on what was important and not being so hard on myself...yes, believe it or not, I am hard on myself!
"...To add to the distraction there is a 7 month old in my house named Tille. She is 6 pounds of fluff and has strategically timed her play time right when I go in yoga poses such as wheel or plank. She starts by licking my legs, and then moves on to more vulnerable areas like my feet and face. At first, I was annoyed. I mean, here I am trying to quiet my mind and she's tickling me and bringing soggy toys to play fetch! Today, it occurred that I should focus on the moment and not the distraction. In that moment I was being loved by my pet. Are there really any more pure forms of love than that? She doesn't care about my thighs or how many calories I'm trying to burn today. She only cares that her human is on the floor where she can kiss and play. In that moment she chooses to be content and so should I. I'm sad that I didn't embrace her distractions earlier on. Little moments of love like this make extending my yoga practice a little longer worth it."
