My reflection for the past year. Please feel free to correct!:) What I’ve learned in my yoga journey and other new experiences over the past year: Discipline: I maintain a proper time table for self practice and self-perpetuating, no matter it is 15 minutes or 2 hours. Practice is practice! Rejection: I used to care too much for progress and also what others think about me. Now I learn to reject something that I’m not ready to do and may get me injured, and reject people who don’t like me as who I am. I don’t care if I lose progress physically, or if people leave me because I don’t change for them, I do care if I can take care of myself and grow mentally. Acceptance: I reach out for help when needed. I use props during practise or ask students to use props whenever they need. As I respect myself, I respect others: never push myself or others to do something over their limits and make them feel bad. It is totally fine not to be an elite, and not to be perfect. Honesty: I voice out for what I think it’s right, I act according to what I believe. I listen and respect different believes, at the same time not to change my boundaries and accept what I can’t stand and don’t deserve. Went through a very adventurous and unstable year, but I gained a lot and am genuinely happy with who I am today!
