停止与别人的比较

The first time I went to a yoga class I did not want to go back.

Everyone was better than me.

Everyone was bendier and more graceful. I couldn’t even touch my toes.

The more I looked at others the worse I did.

Not only because I felt increasingly inadequate but because I forced myself into the poses they could do and I couldn’t.

Ouch.

I found that if I focused on myself I made a lot more progress.

I had to begin by accepting exactly where I was.

I had to determine what worked for me, regardless of what worked for everyone else.

I stopped comparing myself to others when I understood that every second spent looking at someone else would be better spent working on myself.
