Don’t be disappointed reality11 - you moved from that state to another state - that is Progress and you are evolving my friend. Groundhog day is not something to wish for, not even a pleasant groundhog day 
I wish you are right, but I really think I just regressed. I regressed today too. I had a great morning session, where the mantra was physically and mentally pleasurable, booming in my head, and I felt like I was expanding. Then I had a horrible day where certain circumstances caused me to feel very low self-worth as a human being, and I wasn’t able to complete my evening session because my mind was too clouded with bad emotions.
But I am grateful that I am experiencing tangible results from my practices. Hopefully tomorrow will be better
Practice and notice there are bad emotions is also a valuable practice. Like every day starts fresh and new, keep a fresh eye on every practice, there will never be two exactly the same
The only thing that matters, from a yoga point a view, is that you sit down every day at the appointed time and follow the procedure of meditation (and whatever other practice you’ve taken on). All the rest is water under the bridge. You will learn that soon enough.
The bad emotions, and you being aware of them, are part of your progress. They are to be acknowledged and accepted. We all go through this. The least opposition you get into, the smoother the process.
Glad to hear you’re sticking to your meditation routine these days.
Steady practice and good progress!
Ah, I see. Perhaps I will adopt that mentality to just be concerned only with my practices. Hmm, very interesting. There are certainly pros and cons to it, I think. Other systems might say that this type of spiritual pursuit should be extended to our daily lives as well.
In either case, my expectations are a big cause of my discontentment. I have a great session, so I expect my day to go great, then I am very disappointed when it doesn’t.
Thanks again for the tip. I’ll do my best to just be concerned about keeping up with my practices.
You will be adding a very important ingredient to your yoga - surrender.
Expectations only get in the way - instead of living in the moment, they make you fight reality every time it happens not fit with that mental image of your spiritual journey which you have fabricated.
I will try. Thank you.
