the power of other people's thoughts

This morning was the first time since I started the 60 day challenge that I didn't really want to go to class.  I knew once I got there I would be glad I did, but I was having a hard time motivating myself.  I was trying to figure out why today was different than the other days, and I realized it was partially because of a conversation I had yesterday when one of my friends came with me to class.  She mentioned it had been a few years since she has regularly practiced yoga because she had gotten bored with the routine. 

For some reason I internalized this and thought things like "hmm, I go every day - maybe I'll get bored.  am I bored already?  should I be doing something else? etc."  Even though her comment had nothing to do with me, the power of her thoughts affected what I was thinking.  I didn't realize this at the time - I just noticed it today when I was trying to figure out why I was not as excited about going to class as I normally am.  It's silly though because her experience is completely separate from mine - so it was just funny to realize how it had influenced my thoughts.

Anyway - I went to class and of course was glad that I did.  I was 90 min. Hatha with Diane and boy did she work us hard today!  It felt really good.  Before & after class I practied more Crow shoot backs - I'm improving, but still have a ways to go.  It's funny because I feel like this is taking longer to learn than the headstand, which seems like it should be harder.  Oh well...I'll get it eventually :)
