I am thinking back over the love yourself challenge, and about perfection. Today I planned a strong physical practice to start my day–badly wanted to wake and move for 90 minutes of asana. But waking, a recurring hip problem had flared up, making it possible to put only partial weight on my left leg. The internal voices started right away: “Don’t be lazy–push through.” “Why, body, are you failing me?” “I am healthy and strong–this shouldn’t be a problem.” And not least–“I hate feeling old.”
