Complementing practice with freedom from grasping

What are the sources of distraction for me at home, at work, in my yoga practice and in my interactions with others? What do I crave? What are the expectations, beliefs and habits I am attached to? Do I have a healthy relationship with whatever comes into my life? Am I trying to control the world outside? Do I have to have an opinion about everything? Am I entertaining myself by making up stories about everything I am experiencing? Can it be enough to just feel what is happening with clarity?

Making your yoga practice consistent

Is your practice without interruptions? Are you doing your best effort? Do your actions reflect your intention? Are you acting with joyful curiosity or with ambition? What are the qualities of your actions? Are your actions validated by true knowledge? Since it is probable you will get distracted, for an instant, a few minutes, hours, days, months or years; remember to keep returning to your intention without strain, struggle or self-judgment and with a gentle smile.
