The Question
I haven't been practicing very much lately. How do I handle coming back after missing a lot of time?
— from a MJH note
Our Response
First: have you been nice to strangers? Done anything useful? Shown up for people? Then you’ve been practicing. Just not on the mat.
Asana is one room in a big house. Important room, sure. But it’s not the whole building.
When you come back, don’t push too hard. Enjoy yourself. Or—if you feel frisky—push real hard and ride the heat. Your call. Both work.
The guilt spiral helps nobody. You’re here now. That’s the practice.
