Some things in life can feel like they last forever. Mondays for example, or other work related projects, challenges that we dread, maybe that certain pose in your yoga practice that you cringe at the name, and every breath feels like an eternity. Things always tend to become even worse once the mind gets a hold of them.
Coming into your practice, keep this in mind: nothing is forever. Your Monday will come to an end. We will not be holding chair pose for the entire class. So instead of looking at holding challenging poses for what seems like an eternity as an internal countdown of the closest escape route, look at them as a place to become more alive. A place to learn something new about yourself, a place of growth. When your mind wants to come to this place, actively bring yourself back to your breath, onto your mat, and inside your body.
