西洋参|让你的瑜伽练习坚持下去的 5 种方法糖尿病

我翻来覆去。我会努力练习一个夏天，然后继续做其他事情。我尝试了各种不同的锻炼方式；我跳舞，进行高强度间歇训练（HIIT），举重。但我总是最终回来（好吧，有时爬行）回到瑜伽。瑜伽是我渴望的。

最后，经过这些年的风风雨雨，我决定全身心投入练习，这是我做过的最好的决定。我花了很长时间才做出这个选择，一路上我学到了很多教训。
如果您正在努力坚持练习，以下是我的建议。

I flipped and flopped. I’d practice hard for a summer then go on to doing something else. I tried all different kinds of workouts; I danced did high intensity interval training (HIIT) and lifted heavy weights. But I always ended up coming (ok sometimes crawling) back to yoga. Yoga was what I craved.
Finally after those years of being all over the map I decided to commit myself to my practice and it was the best decision I ever made. It took me a long time to make that choice and I learned many lessons along the way.
If you are struggling to make your practice stick here are my suggestions for making it happen.
1. 意识到养成一个习惯需要时间。让我们面对事实：养成一个新习惯是很困难的。让某件事成为你生活中自然的一部分需要时间和努力。即使您知道这种新做法对您有好处并且会使您受益，但养成习惯仍然需要时间。相信这个过程。
给自己时间和空间，并意识到如果你不能在一夜之间实现它，这并不意味着你不能做到。也不意味着你不应该继续尝试。改变需要时间。
你能允许自己有那个时间吗？你能允许自己花时间建立你的新习惯吗？
Let’s face the facts: building a new habit is hard. It takes time and effort for something to become a natural part of your life. Even if you know this new practice is good for you and will benefit you it still takes time to build a habit. Trust the process.
Give yourself time and space and realize that if you can’t make it happen over night it doesn’t mean that you can’t do it. Nor does it mean that you shouldn’t keep trying. Change takes time.
Can you allow yourself that time? Can you give yourself permission to take the time you need to build your new routine?
2. 从瑜伽路上失败时不要自责。最初，当我退出瑜伽常规时，我会对自己感到难过。我会觉得自己像个失败者和一个放弃者，就像我很虚弱。然后，有一天，我意识到我倾倒在自己身上的所有这些消极情绪绝不会激励我改变或朝着积极的方向前进。
所以我决定改用一些爱和同情。当我从瑜伽中脱离常规时，我会简单地说， “没关系！我是人！”你瞧，我对自己越好，我就越想练习，我感觉到的阻力就越小。有趣的是，它是如何工作的，不是吗？
Initially when I would fall out of my yoga routine I would feel bad about myself. I’d feel like a failure and a quitter and like I was weak. Then one day I realized that all this negativity I was dumping on myself was in no way inspiring me to change or move in a positive direction.
So I decided to switch to some love and compassion instead. When I would fall out of my routine with yoga I would simply say “It’s ok! I am human!” And lo and behold the nicer I was to myself the more I actually WANTED to practice and the less resistance I felt. Funny how that works isn’t it?

3. 思考练习的好处并强化积极的一面。让我坚持瑜伽的一件事是在精神上注意到我经常练习的感觉有多棒。
