What sucks is laziness of the 60s. It is the amount of physical exercise, mental strength and number of steps you make during a day that matters. But when you are my age then these things became hard and tedious.

I have noticed decrease of motivation for doing daily yoga practice. All other activities are okay, I can sit on computer for hours, work or just reading news, watching YouTube videos or listening music.. although with less enthusiasm, I'm still going out for 6000 steps daily walk. But when comes to yoga practice that is a different story.

I am supposed to do daily ashtanga half primary practice starting at 9 am. "Daily" means I have decided to do it every single day. A 45 minutes long practice, all standing poses, modified sitting poses and all closing ashtanga yoga poses. 

Before the practice I observe myself. If I am hungry I cannot do yoga because I feel weak and I am craving food, I must eat.  But when I eat, I cannot do yoga practice at full stomach, I am feeling stuffed. 

On the luckier mornings, when I am not hungry and I feel okay to do the practice, I take shower and step on the mat. The stepping on the mat does not necessarily mean I will really do the practice. I start with sun salutation A then B, three times each. If I can do it and there is no pain in my shoulders or wrists or whatever other muscle, then all probability is that I will not quit the practice. Yeah, in 60s things are quite surprising.

Joke on the side, I really need an extra effort to start the practice.
