My Jump backs STUNK this morning

My jump backs really STUNK this morning! Frustrated, felt like saying to hell with the mornings practice. At first I thought my mat needed washing, It seemed extra sticky. Then I thought it was my strength, was feeling a bit weak (had slipped in handstands throughout my Sury's and been working on drop backs last night). Finally decided it was my coordination and my WILL. Just wasn't very focused.

Becoming more and more aware lately that the jump back is a coordination of several elements that have to be linked and timed together perfectly (future post). Once you get it I imagine it becomes fixed and automatic. Hand placement, timing your shift of body weight, engagement of the bandhhas the inhale, focus on the knees and the (S) point (see previous post) etc. etc. and the WILL (future post). Anyway they were all over the place and I was losing motivation fast.

Tried to focus on the breath but was too irritated. Shifted to a simpler variation of jump back and that helped, decided to focus on the lolasana aspect and on some of my other asanas that were going well. Mood improved,and I began to relax into the practice, could focus on the breath more clearly again and by the end I managed to slip in a couple of half decent jump backs and a really good rise onto my forearms in headstand that proved my problems this morning weren't about strength.
Tomorrow is another practice!
