How to gain focus: An experiment

I have mentioned yoga in a few posts. I used to do it far more often. After I did, I really noticed a difference. I was able to focus more and I felt this underlying sense of calm, as if none of my worries mattered, and life was great.

We have all we need

Why is it that we know something's great for us, but we can't be bothered to do it? I suppose for the same reason people don't always eat healthily or do exercise.

But I've had a few friends who have been feeling down lately, and if my experiment works, I can recommend this practice to them without feeling like a hypocrite, so I'll give it a go.

Note: I just use a DVD. It allows me to do yoga whenever I want, and I don't feel self-conscious when I can't do some of the exercises. Also it's free (other than the dollar or two I paid for the DVD at Lifeline).

My experiment is to practise the one hour yoga session at least once every day until the end of the month, and see if I can feel any improvements. I'll get back to you on that.

To sign off, these volunteers have kindly demonstrated my version of some of the techniques. Adios!
