I just have more time today, so I can post more. And it's hot, so I don't want to move. It is hard to get up the motivation to do physical activity, but it can help if you can force yourself to. I find that listening to a CD helps me when doing yoga because then someone else is directing me and I can follow their voice. Otherwise I tend to go too easy, or I get anxious or give up when it gets hard or something.
I also have been doing some guided meditation lately. I like it a lot, although I think I prefer progressive muscle relaxation - have you tried that? I just have problems sticking to one imagined thing and my mind bounces around.
I don't do headstands. I got to the point where I can do them, but they're really hard for me, and since yoga is about being good to yourself, I don't do them. Plus it's so easy to hurt yourself if you do them wrong.
