Day 8...that makes 5 days in a row!!

Today was another record breaker for me...the first time I've made it 5 days in a row.  I was also able to make it through the standing series with only one break, which is also a first for me.  I had originally planned on going to the noon class, but I had just woke up from a nap and was pretty unmotivated.  So I decided to aim for the 4pm class.  As the time rolled nearer I was more and more reluctant to go.  I was feeling stubborn.  Obviously I made it to class, but not without some encouragement and prodding from my husband.  I know the yoga is helping.  My mood is noticably better and I think I have more energy as well.  This makes it all the more perplexing that I don't want to keep it up. 

I got some good news today.  I found out a spot opened up for a DBT group...usually you have to wait months to get in, but I lucked out.  The group will hopefully help me even more in feeling better.  I mention this because it's probably not fair to give all the credit to yoga for my improvements.  There's a lot of different factors that play into the overall effect.  So yoga is really only one piece of the pie.  Mmmm, pie.
