353 + 352: meditation and a surprisingly brief practice

353: friday night, date night. ultimately, i missed my window to practice and chose to meditate before bed. the cool thing is that i slept really well. i have a Fitbit Flex now and it's actually kind of cool to monitor when i mediate before sleep and when i don't. last night, i slept 8 hours, 25 minutes. i was up once and restless 3 times. more typically for me is being up at least once and restless between 4-16 times.

352: 20 minutes, yoga journal home practice

today got all out of order. or not really, but it felt rushed somehow. V went to dance. we came home. it was NICE out!!! we played outside. we went for a walk. N wouldn't settle down for a nap. i couldn't decide if i had 20 minutes or the hour i wished for.

ultimately, i went with a 20 minute practice from a magazine i found on the desk. i thought i would make up my own, but couldn't focus. i have found that having a guide when you're just not feeling like being creative can make or break my practice.

today, i felt like i could have practice for an hour, but with 2 kids and a husband intent on running for an hour on the first warm day of the year i made my choices. not the most satisfying practice, but better than no practice today.
