I can't waste time with people, topics, or activities that don't matter (to me). Such static distracts. I must always keep the basics of my practice front and center:

Constantly reflect on my core principles and incorporate them into my daily decision making.
Maintaining a healthy tension between the doing and the learning.
Emphasize compassion (versus selfishness, judgment, or frustration) is more important than any other practice, and I must focus that on myself, first.

/This post-series is about trying to anchor my experience by exploring within and reminding myself about what it means to practice “good humaning.” It’s about moving forward imperfectly. To follow this thread in my posts, look for the tag: #NotesFromMyYogaJournal
