In Day 4 of the great experiment. I have had no trouble returning to the mat each day, as long as I am very liberal with myself. If I have 15 min. in my pajamas, that is what I count for my daily practice. If I have an hour to devote – great! I take each day as it presents itself and fit my practice in where it makes natural sense rather than trying to force it. So much of life involves us forcing ourselves to do things, especially ones that we think of as “good for us.” Let my practice be a liberation from that. I will enjoy the benefits it has to offer me, rather than view it as an obligation.
