forgetful when hungry.

now, must walk a mile and a quarter back where I came from so I can get the stuff I forgot 'cuz if I leave it there it'll be gone by the next time. And then a mile and a quarter home again. Instead of making late lunch.

damn. can finish bagel and eat luna bar, but that's not very satisfying. At least this time can bring bottle of water so can finish bagel faster than started.

feh. where brain?

[ It's amazing how wonderful it is to do yoga while you're still asleep. Your body doesn't have to deal with your brain complaining that you can't do that ]

For me, it's really only the balance poses that are aided by my conscious mind being absent. The first time a yoga teacher said to close my eyes and really *feel* how my body was keeping itself upright, I nearly tipped over. :) The rest of the stuff I really do best after a walk and a coffee but before breakfast, so my mind is alert, my blood is moving, my body is warm, and I'm at my least sluggish.

For now, it's my hindbrain that knows how to keep my balance when I'm standing up, and my conscious brain that understands stretch and strength. If I let my unconscious drive the rest of the poses, I slump and and droop and let myself get all lopsided. My unconscious is lazy. :)

I suppose I should clarify that when this happened:

...I was standing with both feet on the floor. :)

I've done similar things myself. What really gets me, though, is when I'm trying to do something like "tree" pose, and someone comes and stands directly in front of me. That invariably knocks me right over!
