Make a Plan No Matter How Small
/As a building that is being built needs scaffolding, a yoga practice that is being established needs a plan.
But what kind of plan?
There are many things we can plan for our practice, like what we are going to do, how we are going to do it, who, when, where etc.
The most important plan to make is WHEN you will practice.
I know it sounds simple, but the biggest hurdle to not practicing is not prioritising the practice time in our already busy day.

This is not good enough! I never succeeded in this way to practice.
Below I am going to propose 2 simple, quick but very effective things to do to ensure you make your practice.
I do this before bed every single day. Before I lie down and battle to fall asleep, I will set on the edge of my bed in an upright position, so my mind is alert and fully conscious of what is happening. SO that I am not deluding myself or forgetting what I am committing to doing.
I will set my alarm for the time I am going to wake up and practice. If I am not doing the practice first thing in the morning, I will set the time in my calendar with a reminder like I would a meeting.
Take just 3 minutes to decide right then and there what will be the focus of your practice. Will it be backbends, inversions, restorative. Just decide on a focus so that when you get on the mat you at least know what you plan to do.
There you have it!
One of my top tips for getting on the mat to practice easier for you 🙂
