I am on the path of self growth. I am human. I am doing my best at any and all moments. I am doing my best to remember to let go. I am not perfect. I make mistakes and I react and worry sometimes. I will do my best to forgive myself when I feel guilt for not being perfect. As a yoga teacher and a with this desire to grow I have a tendency to feel major guilt if I am not perfect. I find those of us working on our selves with purpose of growth tend to be perfectionists. This can be so detrimental to our growth. We do not allow for mistakes or blemishes to be ok. There is this voice in your head that berates you for not being good enough.
So we just begin to be a little easier on ourselves and remind ourselves to find the perfection in imperfection. Can we see everything as perfect in the sense that there is absolutely nothing wrong? We see the tainted world as perfect. Maybe we can just laugh at ourselves when we make a mistake knowing it is just a blip in time. Beginning to really pay attention to the voice in your head that is criticizing. Do your best to be nice to yourself. All it really takes is being a little more aware of what is going on in your head. Those thoughts are not going to go away. It is however very important to take time our of your day to sit and watch these thoughts. There are many different types of meditation that you can research and play with. In fact, you can make all moments of your life a meditation. When you notice yourself in thought, pause and just witness. Find a way to actually like the things about yourself that you criticize on a daily basis. Stop the comparing and competing. Enhance your own gifts and talents. When you look at another, see what you like in them and appreciate it genuinely. This energy of appreciating will guide you.
