Insane laziness in recent times, an explanation and and attempt at improvement

The last week has been quite the mixed bag, honestly. On the bright side my diet has never been so diverse in terms of grains and foods, and so full of options. I've been able to choose between different food types and flavor groups for every meal, thanks to the leftovers from a week ago. And I've been going to yoga classes as diligently as possible, exploring the world and getting more confident and comfortable inside my body.

On the other hand, my schedule has been topsy-turvy. Forget the checklists, the regular meditation and savers practice has been out of whack, I've had trouble writing, walks have been disrupted, my meal times and foods are all over the place. What gives? What is it that has changed, and what do I need to adapt or change? Here's a couple of ideas. This post won't be the last word on this matter by any stretch of imagination, it's just the starting of the exploration into how I adapt to new situations and what I could do to improve myself.

First, I believe it's the yoga classes themselves. As in, even if it didn't take the whole of 1 hour to commute there and back, the act of inserting a new activity wholesale into my life, into every single day of my routine is quite disruptive. It's not 'free' as one would imagine, not at the start anyway, and my body aches and hurts. So a consistent new activity is pushing out other activities like writing and so forth, and that has broken the 'achor-action' chain that I've set of. As goes one action, so do the others, and everything has been disrupted.

Second, the fact that I have had to extract two hours from my day out of nowhere, previously unaccounted for, in the middle of my chores etcetera also means that I can't plan as well as I could. The 'flow' of the earlier routine has been broken, but more logistically than psychologically so. Without scheduling enough rest time and internalizing the costs etc, I haven't completely adjusted my mind and body to the new routine.

Third, it's likely also the fucking hot weather. My room feels like a goddam oven all of a sudden now that it's summer, and obviously that's not ideal for things one wants to do to to improve oneself. So that needs adjusting to. There's a joke people have: you're unproductive in the winter because of the cold, and in the summer thanks to the heat. That's the situation I find myself in at the moment.

Work in progress, more to come. A lot more.
