THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION ABOUT YOGA
Yoga, in its traditional East Indian roots, is a way to reach “union”. A simplification of this South Asian philosophy is that we are all part of one divine universal consciousness that manifests all of life. We, as humans can get caught up in egoic concerns, and “forget” that we are part of this much greater aspect of being. You may have heard some people describe this as the difference between the small “I” egoic self and the larger “I” that is one with the creator and all of creation.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU STRUGGLE TO STAY CONSISTENT WITH YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE
You're not alone if you're having trouble starting or following through on a fitness plan. Even I—and other fitness pros—can face this challenge in our lives. Seriously!
An all-or-nothing attitude may get in your way. Research shows that a little exercise is better than none. It’s not necessary to spend hours in the gym or do endless monotonous routines.
Don’t beat yourself up because you think you lack willpower. Negative self-talk only demotivates you.
This is what you should do instead.
