Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

Listen to your body

Do you ever?
Do you still go to your practice when you are feeling sick because you think you have to practice that day?
Do you still go to your practice when you have just finished an overnight project and havent slept but you feel guilty not practicing?
Do you still go to your practice when you have been working like crazy and not being able to eat a proper meal during the day?
When is the last time you listen to your body and let your body guide you what to do? Maybe your body needs the rest than practice. Maybe your body needs to consume more energy before it can spend more.
When you are in your practice, do you let your body guide you and let it take you to wherever destination at that particular moment? There are times in your practice when you dont need to think about your postural performance and just be there and enjoy your breathing and movement.
Try it! Next time you practice, try listening to your body and see where it takes you. You may surprise yourself by going further in your practice mentally and physically without making much effort of hardworks. (Been there :))
