One thing that’s helped me is lowering the pressure, even just five minutes count. I remind myself that it doesn’t have to be a full session to be meaningful. It’s all part of the process, and the fact that you want to build this habit says a lot.

Those are very wise words, Emma. I'd say my main motivations are the desire to feel good in my body and the nice/relaxed feeling I get once I finish. If I hold this habit for a long term period, I'll be more flexible and happier in my body. I'll keep these in mind when I practice, and especially when I don't feel motivated. Thank you for the help and I hope you have a great day/night.

Yes, having someone to help hold you accountable definitely helps. Also sit down & really look at WHY you want to do this. Write out the long term positive outcomes of you committing to this. Hopefully this will give you motivation to get up and do it when you’re not feeling like it 💪

Thank you for the reply, Heidi. 🤗 I think I'll work on creating a plan like you said. My goal will be 15 minutes, twice on the weekends (when I have a lot of free time.) Also, with the screen time as a reward, that is a great idea but once I start the yoga, I'll feel motivated to do more afterwards, it is the "getting started" bit that is hard. I wouldn't want to have more screen time afterwards, though that was a great suggestion. ❤️ I might build on that, with the screen time. Maybe I put my phone on lock until after I finish? Thank you again for your help, Heidi. 😀 I might post more about my journey toward being a steady practice of yoga. Until then, have a great day/night :)

Find a partner, some say paying for a session, private lessons a gym helps as you should want to get your money worth. Make a plan to start small, maybe 15 minutes 1 day a week. Build on that. Be specific, write your plan down. Tell your plan to others who can hold you accountable. Make your screen time the reward .?
