Yoga Journal #23: Self righteousness

Woke up and did a chilled morning yoga session – nothing crazy/hectic but a bit of stretching which helped get me focused for the day. I can definitely feel a massive difference in the days where I wake up earlier and do yoga and those that I don’t – much more productive and manage things much better!

Had a busy day and felt like my body was actually craving yoga again tonight – got on my mat and did some sun salutes and the standing sequence. Warr hasn’t been home to teach in the evenings – this week either I was shooting stuff – or he was out selling hides – need to practice on him – it really helps!

Had left over chicken wraps for dinner – there was a piece of chicken left over and I didn’t feel like it – so offered it to Warr – think he might have seen it as a “defiant act of impending vegetarianism” – which I don’t think he liked too much! (Ha!) and then the next thing out came the idea that “all vegans are so self righteous – can’t they just get on with their belief without shoving their views down everyone else’s throats?” – a bit like Hare Krishna/Jehovahs witnesses. I can understand why he says that – but can also understand that if people have found something that truly has changed their life – they want to share it. A bit like me wanting to share yoga with everyone? Anywhoo – both of us ended up in grumpy moods after that.
