Anytime!

Well then you are already like 10 steps ahead of the game. I totally get the mind racing thing. What I really like about yoga, meditation, and mindfulness is that there is never a complete perfection, there is never a definitive line that's says you are trying vs. actually doing. It's all practice everytime. You achieved because you tried.

It's really hard to get ourselves into the habit of doing, or not doing. I struggle with that as well. I found that by going to a yoga studio that helped. Trying to do it on my own at home is so hard to get motivated. The mindfulness I practice whenever I notice my mind wandering where it shouldn't, past, future and in negative ways. I like it because I can practice it while doing the dishes or at the mall. One more good thing is the elastic band method, that you put on your wrist and snap when you notice the negativity or other undesired thoughts happening. Kind of snaps you to the present so you can redirect those thoughts.

Good luck!! I hope you find a way too incorporate these day to day. Even if you start small with 10 minutes a day, that is a great way to go. Slow and steady is easier to maintain than fast and furious.
