The owner and yoga instructor of Yoga Den, Nick, had such a good point today in my morning yoga class:

If you can work through the moments of annoyance and see the emotions for what they are, you can cultivate an established center line within to lean on when frustration takes over.

Whatever belongs to you internally is for you and you only. You can’t and do not need to explain your life linage because someone will try to compare it, judge it, or re-write it just to make themselves feel better.
