I have a yoga ego. I know that the yogi's say its a practice about my own mind and body, but its very difficult for me not to have a peek around the room. I just want to see how my posture compares. This of course began the thought process about where else that I am taking my ego. Self discovery requires brutal honesty... I will confess only two places, as my ego can appear everywhere, and I am not writing a book. It is definitely is in my shoe collection and being honest during difficult times.
When I am asked "are you ok?" I feel it... up comes that ego and I always respond yes with a smile... true or not. I never want to appear sad. Just like I am back in the yoga studio, comparing myself to everyone else. Who said that we always have to be happy? And more important who is happy all the time? I am going to think about checking my ego, at yoga and in life. Thinking about the yogi who reminds me that it's a practice. Just remember guru my shoe ego is off limits.
