To be present...

I have really gotten into my yoga class.  I go for an hour and half each week and I love that for the full class all I do is think in the present moment.  Each time I get out of class, I resolve that I will live each moment in the present. That lasts for about 5 minutes until I get on the freeway back home and I start thinking about what I need to do either that evening or the next morning.  And then I forget about it until I'm back in yoga class.  I find that I enjoy challenging myself by doing the poses and really thinking about each minute muscle and action that goes into the pose.  When I do yoga on my own, I find that I don't push myself as much as I do in class.  Partly because I am afraid that if I do it wrong I will hurt myself and in class my teacher will let me know when I am doing a pose wrong!  It has been a full day and I'm still thinking about how I enjoyed being present in the class but now I'm thinking of the past. So, I will try to put myself in the present again.
