Yoga Perception (IV) - About Persistence

ZHL1988 Art Space

Xiao Duo took the teaching training class, felt frustrated, felt that the physical fitness class should be followed, and as a result, the physical fitness class was taken, and he became a dog.

The state of the physical fitness class is: warm up, feel able to persevere, midfielder, ah! So hard, so hard! When it hurts, every moment, there is a voice in the mind, don't insist on it, how tired, lie flat! Then look at the other classmates, everyone is insisting, you have to insist.

After the next 30-40 hours of practice, everyone is expressionless, the body practices on its own, the head for pain, soreness into a state of numbness, the head while listening to the teacher's password, while feeling the limit of muscle endurance can reach, while the head is empty, thinking about other things. Until the final stretching exercise, then wait for the teacher to shout the password to finish. Then, lie flat, rest...

As a normal weight person, exercise practice feels so hard! Self-discipline practice is 100% impossible, especially exercise exercises that will produce pain, probably people are always resistant to pain, because pain can link the past senses and memories, so the brain refuses to accept the pain conveyed by the body. Follow the class, under the influence of the collective atmosphere, you can challenge yourself and try to break through.

Think about what people who are overweight and lose weight go through.

Think about it, if you are very resistant to exercise, it is also painful to practice!

Think about those who exercise every day, how they manage their weight and health.

About persistence

Everyone who goes to yoga actually has their own ideas, and maybe everyone's reasons are different, and there may be a common factor: that is, they want to change, they want to discover, they want to be aware and understand more.

Every student who practices is very serious, and this serious state of practice is a very good experience in itself, and perhaps you can find the original intention of insisting on something in the past.

It is naturally good to practice every day, that is the ideal state, but not everyone has all the time to follow all the exercises and lessons according to the curriculum, and adults are always making trade-offs and balances.

Completion is more important than perfection, and perfection is always on the way to learning.

Inner conflict stems from the desire to be perfect or complete in everything as one's ideal, and people are always too strict with themselves and forget to feel the feelings and experiences of the moment.

You will not be a 100% perfect person, nor can you make everything perfect, imperfection is the norm, perfection is a small probability event. In the trade-off and balance, tell yourself: you have done your best, made the best arrangements, made the best choices...

Adults are responsible for themselves:

As a teacher, you have a responsibility to your students.

As an employee, you are responsible to your boss/party A.

As a family member, you have a responsibility to your family.

……

Like yoga practice, it is impossible to be satisfied with the ideal, but it is really something that you are trying to practice to the best of your ability.

Like writing, you can't write all the time, but you write when you want to write the most.

Like painting, you're ideally going to paint once a day, but you'll choose to paint more when you're free. When you want to draw, create as much as you can.

……

Everything you like and put into practice, it allows the person to generate feelings and perceptions, thoughts, and our awareness and thoughts arise in every moment of the moment, not because of just practicing yoga.

About the choice of yoga clothes with colors

Probably everyone has everyone's opinion. But everyone's clothing style and color matching can reflect the personality of the person concerned.

People who have no time may choose directly in black to save time and do not need to consider collocation.

Wearing sports underwear has a little to do with the normal length of short sleeves and tank tops and the self-confidence of the person concerned. I didn't want my little belly to be exposed, so I chose a short-sleeved outfit.

For better practice, you can see the line muscles, choose sports underwear and vests. If you are not confident in your figure, choose a normal basic length of clothes with short sleeves or long sleeves, because this practice is more attentive.

No matter what color and style you choose, it's you, the real you. You don't need to be like everyone else, you don't need to influence your own choices because of the environment. Maybe in the future you will change your cognition and thoughts, but in the moment, you can allow you to be yourself, allow yourself to see the truest thoughts in your heart.

Any choice you make is okay, everything doesn't matter...

About the tone of voice in the classroom, that is, the sense of atmosphere

The state of each teacher's class is different, no matter what kind of state, as a teacher, the state of the teacher will bring to the students. As a student, the status of the student is also communicated to the teacher.

A serious teacher, as a student, may be more focused because you feel the teacher's concentration. This is probably the so-called energy field and magnetic field.

When the teacher is very professional, you feel that you also need to pay more attention to understanding the knowledge. A person who truly loves what he is doing, a person who loves everything he is doing, you will see the light in the eyes of the other person...

Everyone needs to be recognized and seen, everyone has their own set of defense mechanisms to protect themselves from harm, and some behaviors and actions may be unconscious reactions in the moment, but they do reflect our daily state.

For example, people with a low sense of self-worth are easy to take the external denial as a negative hint and sit in the right seat. Sometimes denial is not necessarily your personal situation, it may be that the other person's experience is not good, and the response is different from the way you respond, causing you audiovisual or psychological distress. How to tell whether this negation originates from the present, or from the past, or is an emergency response in your present...

As teammates, you and your little friends are learning from each other, and a good way to understand is: teaching is also learning, learning or practicing is also teaching, and the two complement each other. You're helping others as you are helping yourself. Look at your current state of practice with a calmer and broader mindset.

Every moment is a practice, and everyone can see themselves every moment.

We are mirrors, but also faces in the mirror (there is no one else in the outside world, the world you see is actually a projection of your heart)

Namaste
