If you've habits similar to me then you browse the web a lot on a daily basis looking for inspiration. I read several articles and watch multiple videos everyday for perfecting my yoga poses, managing my money, getting a promotion and so on.
It may seem inspirational to think about someone doing all these things in an amazing manner, but it's an unrealistic thing. Nobody can become good at everything. And in my opinion, no one should be good at everything. Often those who try to be good at everything become good at nothing. I've realized that it makes me feel inadequate sometimes-I often think that why do I need to watch a video for getting promoted? Am I not good enough to get promoted myself? I start questioning my abilities and finding my own ways of doing things.
While yoga helps me in trusting my own intuition, sometimes I find it to be exhausting. And that thing often kills my practice so I need to improve it. Luckily, I know the way of removing this feeling. Its solution lies in self-confidence.
So in this article I want to talk about the things that you, I and all other yogis/yoginis do in awesome way. No one is better than us in doing these things:
- Practicing our own version of any pose. Although we don't like to do it along, but Yoga should be an individual practice. Something quite transformative starts happening when we do a pose according to our own intuition.
- Applying yoga lessons to our own life. I hope you know already that our brains are quite efficient. They absorb only the information that's required or essential for us and leave the rest. We as yoga students become quite good at applying yoga lessons to our life without even realizing it. If you ever remember a day when you left a 90 minutes long yoga class and by the end of day you remembered only one great lesson that your yoga teacher told you that day then congratulations, because you too have become good at this art.
- Feeling and living the moment. No one else can feel or describe what's happening inside your body. And since we practice yoga, we become more aware of our own bodies. So you should never allow anyone else to describe what's happening in your body.
- Taking care of ourselves. Perhaps we're not as good as we should be at this one; sometimes we should be a bit gentler with us while sometimes we should just push ourselves a bit harder for our good. But I believe that we can be good at this thing too if we make a commitment to put our well-being and health before everything else. It won't be too hard for us because we learn it in yoga. We just need to heed the advice.
