I have this problem. I don't do yoga on Wednesday. I do yoga Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday without fail, but for some reason, Wednesdays just don't seem to be in the plans. This has been happening for weeks now and it's not even something I can explain.

Each week is the same. I am energized by my Monday and Tuesday classes (I even practice what I learn again when I get home from work), and I tell myself there's no way I'm going to miss my Wednesday morning class. But then when it comes time to actually get out the door, I can't do it. Each week it gets harder—sometimes I don't feel well, sometimes I'm sore from yoga the day before, sometimes there's just a good segment I can't stand to miss on The Today Show. Today, it was cold and I thought I smelled rain in the air. That was enough reason for me to curl up under my warm covers for another 30 minutes.

Then, I get to the office, see the pairs of shoes outside the yoga room where my co-workers are finishing up their Savasanas, and I'm immediately disappointed in myself. "How could I have missed this class, AGAIN?!"

Times like this confirm my belief truth in the yogic concept of samskara, which says that the more we engage in a specific behavior the more likely we are to do it again, and again . . . and again.
