Happy Realizash
I had class this morning at 9:30, which in theory meant that I could have woken up early early for yoga if I really wanted to, but I didn't want to because I got home late after happy houring with K, J, and some awesome rockstar/surfer dudes.
So today has been dedicated to class, discussion sectioning, and lots and lots of sedentary studying (some of which in the happy sunshine).
I was worried when, a few months ago, I agreed (with myself) to commit (myself) to a lifestyle of academia and research how I would feel about sometimes not having time to yoga or exercise as much as I want. Usually I beat myself up a lot over not working out or stretching or whatever; not because I'm not burning calories but because that is typically what I need to be happy and sane.
So, I am happy to report that after 8 hours of studying/paper writing after class I am so happy and immersed and in the flow of what I'm doing that I can honestly say there is nothing else, not even yoga or dancing, that I would rather be doing right now.
...I think that's a good sign.
