A little bit of humility

I have a confession to make. I am vain. Me, a 47 year old woman, goes to yoga and catch myself comparing how I do poses to the teenager next to me. I look to see if I can bend a little deeper, twist a little further and hold a pose a bit longer. It just goes to show me that I still have a long way to go and I have not arrived yet. When I catch myself doing those kinds of things it is my signal to shift the way I see myself and to be gentle with myself. It just doesn't feel good to compare myself nor is it loving to the other person I compare myself to.
