Making space for change

Making space for change - this to me is about examination. I know that doing a lot of great things or projects or whatever would probably enhance my life in some way, but I rarely actually make the space that allows for proper examination of such doings. What does it take to actually do these things. Well, take a moment to get out of the daily grind and just do it. So often, I am like - "well, too bad, I guess I can't do that today because I have to go to yoga because I do that at this time everyday. Or, I'll just watch this movie instead." I am running away from further examination. Why? I have barely started reading Douglas Brook's book on the Bhagavad Gita; so, the battlefield is on my mind. The territory that we are not used to examining, well, this could be like a battlefield. We really don't know what it is going to be like. The unknown is scary, but it is not ever going to go away - EVER. Take a deep breath, get your bearings and go in. Is this what practice is? - going into the unknown and examining time and time again? I think that sometimes I get practice confused with just doing the same asana or trying to meditate 5 minutes a day and know that - "well, I tried - moving on." This is not practice, it's going through the motions. It's a sham. I think it's natural for this to happen sometimes, but can we get back into the practice of examination? Can I make space?
