If it was benefecial, why didn't you do more of it..

Surely as rational people that is the course to take?

I see the same with my Yoga practice... touchwood, I am mostly healthy and I should do more Yoga but somedays I am looking for reasons not to do my usual tiny practice..

Is it cause we don't make the outward connection between the practice and our wellbeing?

PS : thinking aloud and trying to see if I am alone in this...

You are certainly not alone. I both meditate (sometimes) and practice yoga (intermittently), and while both make me feel great and have noticeable effects on my productivity, they're both so much damned work. Once I miss a few consecutive days, its easy to miss a few more.

Brb going to meditate, even though its past my bedtime and I've got a couple glasses of wine in me.

I've reached the point with my yoga practice (usually at least twice a week for almost 2 years, now) where I feel like crap if I don't get on the mat.

That's a pretty compelling motivator to keep up with it.
