eh yogi

Why ‘eh’? Because I wrote “bad” then realized I’m not a “bad” yogi.

Here’s how it goes: so this week’s been a little tough. been letting other ppl invade my ’space’ and they’re not paying rent. Nor appreciative.  Most mornings now I’ve been going to mysore yoga– independent practice, not a led class– and have been advancing into 2nd series poses. and it hurts. and its hard. and my teacher tells me I’m too hard on myself as he’s sitting on, standing on, leaning on or otherwise pushing ( aka “being hard” ) on me. It’s good b/c it’s a challenge and this chick needs a challenge. But sometimes, things give (way). Today I had a breakdown at the end. Thank goodness all the other yogi’s had finished and left. To me, i was a mess. To him, he says, I’m a super star. Why is it so hard to accept complements or be okay where you are at, and so easy to internalize crap? 

Whose expectations are you trying to live up to?

“do NOT allow any negative person to bring you down.
raise your resonance. when your energy vibrates at a higher level, you won’t be bothered by the crappy stuff at lower levels.
surround yourself with an outline of white light if you are feeling anxious.” that is from Chauss’ blog that you can check out at: http://ckparis.blogspot.com/
