I'm really bad at yoga!! (today)

[Guest guest]

Hi to all the newbies and those who are just starting with . In

four weeks, I see my life changing permanently and it feels great!

I've been on vacation a while and haven't had a chance to reply to a

bunch of posts, but I just wrote an entry for my blog that I thought

I might share in case someone struggles with perfectionism like I

do . . .

I don't want to hi-jack the thread. Please view it at the address

below if you're interested (I just put an excerpt below)

http://iofitwithang.blogspot.com/

I hate not being able to do something well. So much so, that if I

can't do it well the first try (or second), I usually stop trying.

But here's the funny thing – even when I don't do something well,

I'll assume " I know better " than anyone how to do it.

What I have learned though, is that this sets me up for some serious

self-flagellation, embarrassment, disappointment and self-criticism.

I beat myself up for KNOWING how to do it well (so I think) – even

better than the instructor – and not being ABLE to do it well.

I literally just did that...
