So I bought a couple of yoga mats today. I bought the one shown in the picture here, as well as a thinner travel mat. I figured, if I am going to do my yoga right, I might as well get the mats. Also, I have noticed that when I spend even a little money on accessories for an activity, I tend to be more interested in doing the activity.
But this only works for the first week or so. After that, I generally tend to continue doing the thing because it becomes a habit-sort of. I hope yoga can fix my sinus issue, and the darned upper shoulder pain. The only issue I have with yoga is that it is so darn slow - it does require a lot of concentration. I used to wonder why people say it improves your mental faculties, but now I can see how this could happen. I hope I keep up with what I started. The simple yoga steps I know now should keep me going for a month at the very least - I hope that by the end of that time, my legs will get used to sitting in the new, kind of awkward position!

You are not approaching your practice in the correct way if you believe buying yoga mats is what you need. What you need is discipline, leave the mats at home.

:( Yeah, but it is one of the things I am willing to try to change the status-quo where nothing gets done. It is hard to motivate myself - thats for sure…
