So yesterday I rambled a bit about dedication and consistency. That was the point anyway, I'm not 100% certain that I actually made it. Anyway, today I wanted to cover the other side of that.

Being dedicated to your practice every single day is awesome... it will treat you well. You'll make progress, you'll be more mentally sound, and everyone will think you glow all the time with sugary bliss. However, if you constantly eschew recreation, being sociable, and trying new things - in favor of your practice - you may be missing the point. These are signs of addiction and being rigid. I don't know anyone that took up yoga to become more rigid and a party pooper.

Having a plan is great - but if you can't re-schedule every once in a while for some spontaneity you're going to miss out on living your life. Go celebrate birthdays! Travel the world a little bit! Run outside in the middle of your practice to see that flying pig! Being dedicated to your practice means learning the flexibility to turn your world upside down and still get in a couple headstands before the sun goes down.
