Mater Tenebrarum

Well not strictly true - but there are times when the absence of a thing causes a certain level of despondency. At the moment I'm still pining for my old yoga teacher (don't laugh - at least I'm trying to do something to make my lifestyle healthier, although it does give you a bit of a thirst afterwards - know what I mean). Now the thing with Yasmine was that she was one of the nicest people I've ever met, always serene and appearing to be at peace with herself and with a really beautiful smile. I suppose it's one of the side effects of doing yoga for several hours a day almost every day of the week.
Unfortunately it was not the case with the next yoga teacher I had who was more like a girl guide leader or a PE teacher for one of those girls schools where they play really aggressive hockey.
But as usual I digress. The real problem here is not an absence of a teacher but rather the absence of willpower - its all too easy to just get home from work and slob about until bed time and fill up on quick-cook crap - and then blame it on being tired from work. Yet before I had the motivation - so how to get it back. Sensible suggestions only please.
