Hi newgal,

You make the essential point of being gentle with yourself.

The important thing is to deal with the situation without judging yourself.

I do this myself. "You've been doing yoga so long, you should be better! Stretch deeper. Be more dedicated."

But I have learned that the most important thing is just to keep at it. I'm not going to break any records. But, I'm going to keep going. We do what we do. We all climb our own mountains. And beyond that, I don't really care anymore.

But actually, I'm doing BRILLIANT!!![emoji222] Puff puff. And next year I'll be doing better, instead of doing worse!
