西洋參|讓你的瑜伽練習堅持下去的 5 種方法糖尿病

我翻來覆去。我會努力練習一個夏天，然后繼續做其他事情。我嘗試了各種不同的鍛煉方式；我跳舞，進行高強度間歇訓練（HIIT），舉重。但我總是最終回來（好吧，有時爬行）回到瑜伽。瑜伽是我渴望的。

最后，經過這些年的風風雨雨，我決定全身心投入練習，這是我做過的最好的決定。我花了很長時間才做出這個選擇，一路上我學到了很多教訓。
如果您正在努力堅持練習，以下是我的建議。

I flipped and flopped. I’d practice hard for a summer then go on to doing something else. I tried all different kinds of workouts; I danced did high intensity interval training (HIIT) and lifted heavy weights. But I always ended up coming (ok sometimes crawling) back to yoga. Yoga was what I craved.
Finally after those years of being all over the map I decided to commit myself to my practice and it was the best decision I ever made. It took me a long time to make that choice and I learned many lessons along the way.
If you are struggling to make your practice stick here are my suggestions for making it happen.
1. 意識到養成一個習慣需要時間。讓我們面對事實：養成一個新習慣是很困難的。讓某件事成為你生活中自然的一部分需要時間和努力。即使您知道這種新做法對您有好處并且會使您受益，但養成習慣仍然需要時間。相信這個過程。
給自己時間和空間，并意識到如果你不能在一夜之間實現它，這并不意味著你不能做到。也不意味著你不應該繼續嘗試。改變需要時間。
你能允許自己有那個時間嗎？你能允許自己花時間建立你的新習慣嗎？
Let’s face the facts: building a new habit is hard. It takes time and effort for something to become a natural part of your life. Even if you know this new practice is good for you and will benefit you it still takes time to build a habit. Trust the process.
Give yourself time and space and realize that if you can’t make it happen over night it doesn’t mean that you can’t do it. Nor does it mean that you shouldn’t keep trying. Change takes time.
Can you allow yourself that time? Can you give yourself permission to take the time you need to build your new routine?
2. 從瑜伽路上失敗時不要自責。最初，當我退出瑜伽常規時，我會對自己感到難過。我會覺得自己像個失敗者和一個放棄者，就像我很虛弱。然后，有一天，我意識到我傾倒在自己身上的所有這些消極情緒絕不會激勵我改變或朝著積極的方向前進。
所以我決定改用一些愛和同情。當我從瑜伽中脫離常規時，我會簡單地說， “沒關系！我是人！”你瞧，我對自己越好，我就越想練習，我感覺到的阻力就越小。有趣的是，它是如何工作的，不是嗎？
Initially when I would fall out of my yoga routine I would feel bad about myself. I’d feel like a failure and a quitter and like I was weak. Then one day I realized that all this negativity I was dumping on myself was in no way inspiring me to change or move in a positive direction.
So I decided to switch to some love and compassion instead. When I would fall out of my routine with yoga I would simply say “It’s ok! I am human!” And lo and behold the nicer I was to myself the more I actually WANTED to practice and the less resistance I felt. Funny how that works isn’t it?

3. 思考練習的好處并強化積極的一面。讓我堅持瑜伽的一件事是在精神上注意到我經常練習的感覺有多棒。
