In My opinion!

I'm sorry and I do apologise for not doing what I know I 'should' do.

Which is, before I say or state any thing I 'should' put before it 'In my opinion'.

I don't like it when someone (including myself) makes a statement which has 'is' in it.

A statement such as 'Fred is an idiot'. Would have more truth to it if it read, 'In my opinion Fred seems to behave like an idiot when I am around him'.

So I hereby declare that whenever I make a statement on here,  if I 'do not' state 'in my opinion' in front of it, you can 'assume' (?) that I am saying that.
The reason you can do this is because this is 'my' blog and therefore everything that 'I' have written is ' in my opinion'.

It's an interesting subject. We may meet someone that has not had a very good week, seems to be very upset about something and therefore appears to be not very sociable. We may have contact with this person for an hour or a couple of minutes and we may walk away, and without ever meeting him again we have the impression that this person is like that the whole time, for the rest of our lives. We make a judgement about this person forever etched in our memory based on what. 'He is a ''''''''', is based on very little evidence whatsoever.

Being a 'yoga teacher' or whatever you want to call yourself gives you the opportunity to catch lots of people's judgements. They will judge you on your behaviour, your mood, the way you dress, etc. You may be very concerned about being seen in a particular way so may adopt a habit to show people that you are a certain way.  You may dress a certain way, be positive, appear happy, etc, in order to give people an impression of what/who you are. This is very tiring!

This leads me to some thing that occurred to me today. If you are yourself you do not have to act in any way at all. You are you and needn't worry about being or behaving any way at all.

How do you know you are you? :))

Hmmm, now there's the thing isn't it. . . . . .  . . .. .  . . . .

If you find yourself making an effort to be positive, happy, open minded etc, aren't you imposing on yourself a behavioural mode of operating that is or appears to be better than another way of operating?

In my opinion YOGA will enable you to be very clear about who you are!
