Patterned Response (Type A v. The Sloth)
Don’t give in to your patterns.
Asana Practice: Ask yourself, are you the type of person who gives up too easily, or do you tend to over-work? Today, notice your pattern and do the opposite.
I am typically an over-worker. In the last few months,due to injuries, I have backed off and I have tried to surrender and relax if I experience discomfort. Today, for the first time, I noticed my body giving up before it needed to. My pattern changed. I now need to guarantee that I am not surrendering too early or too readily. I need to strike a balance.
Lesson Learned: Watch your tendencies to overwork or give in too early, and make a concerted effort to find a more appropriate balance.
