I went through the usual blogs that I read every morning. No one seems to be blogging. I think I've become a blog addict. I really enjoy the mysore blogs the most. They give the best insights and always make me want to be there. I recently heard that they are down to about 50 students from a high of about 150 students a couple of months ago. I wish I were there now.
My last two practices haven't been that good. My focus in the beginning was good but somewhere in the middle my mind started to wander. I've been getting really tired lately so I'll start closing postures early. The classes have been quite full recently. I see a few new students but the regular students are coming in more regularly.
Yesterday I had a discussion with one of the other students in class. He started talking about the postures he was doing and how he wanted to move on to other postures in the other series. He's really young and very flexible. He also told me his wrist was hurting. I wanted to tell him that yoga is not all about the posture but I held back. It was not my place to tell him. He seems very competitive and in a hurry to get to some destination. I believe that yoga is about the journey and not the destination. I hope he figures it out soon because if he keeps doing what his doing, he'll get hurt.
I had a haircut last night. I was seriously considering going bald. I think it would be easier to maintain. I think I'll do it when I'm in India. It's kind of short right now but it grows so quickly. I get a haircut every 5 to 6 weeks.
I had a call from my sister yesterday. Every time I talk to her it always cost me. Yesterday it cost me $200. She can't seem to figure out why I don't like talking to her. I've tried to tell her that I working extra hard to save money. Some people just don't understand. They're so caught up in the material world and their happiness seems to be tied to that. I'm in the process of walking away from the corporate world, I need to stay away from people who can't understand why I'm doing it and try to convince me otherwise. I feel like I have to explain myself over and over again. It's getting old.
