monkey mind

Practice today sucked.  I felt like a big lump of elephant poo.  And that's presuming that elephant poo doesn't feel great at all.  At all at all.  Why?? I don't know.  I had thought that my body might be feeling better a couple of days after the workshop, but no, still stiff. But more importantly my focus was all over the place.  I just couldn't get into the zone at all. My monkey mind was chattering away.  And I let it.  When will I learn?  Why is it so difficult?  It's days like these that I really wish there was a  shala here to practice in.  I miss practicing with other people.  That energy.  Not allowing myself to sit on my mat and let minutes tick by, so that I don't have any time to do the LBH poses or dropbacks.  Bad lady. I know that no practice is a 'waste of time' but today really felt like it.  Should have stayed in bed and gotten the extra zzzzz's.  Maybe than I wouldn't be feeling so cranky.

And writing about it is frustrating me even more, so I'm going to sign out. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.  Sucky sucky day.
