Leaving Out Poses

I notice that there is a pattern of poses I tend to forget and leave out while practicing:

 In Standing postures it would always be Utthita Parsvottanasana.
 In Seated postures they would be Parsvottanasana, Navasana, and today, the last three sequence.

 I do not know why these postures always get squeezed out from the practice list. Maybe I was doing it not in a mindful way. Like today after a good inversion exercise I laid in a variation of child pose for a while, got up feeling very wrung out and energized at the same time, and had a mental dialogue something like this:

 Ok sirsasana done. What a relief, oh I feel good, drained, but good. What else should I do? anything else after this? Savasana right? because I derserve this, don't I? Oh yes... *lies down*

I really should train my mind to stay focused even after an intense practice.

Anyways, worked my arms bad for Urdvha D this morning. Felt the side, muscle, the teres minor and major, stretch somewhat tickling and prickling in intensity. Love it.
