I'm persistent. I think I've taken my time getting there though. I try to follow the first rule of yoga, "if it feels bad in any way at all, back out of it or just don't do it." At times, I do push ahead anyway, usually out of anger/frustration/guilt/PTSD kicking in (this one is totally counterintuitive, but works when I get angry about it)/other negative emotions/mania. I do try to recognize when those are happening and back off.

I've got over 9 miles total, counting almost 7 on the elliptical today and the rest walking. I don't hurt or feel bad at all physically. There's still over an hour until yoga and I'm resting a few minutes now.

If this paragraph is against rules, please tell and I'll promptly remove it. Without kratom I'd never exercise, because it helps me with my severe neck pain. No pain pills work for me, none ever really did. I'm not saying use kratom or don't, but this tea saved my life, by helping with around level 7 headache constantly of 25 years. There was a positive story about it on CNN this past week. Please check the story out, but don't use kratom on my account.
