What aspects of yourself do you deny or reject?

This is an interesting question.  Until I started teaching yoga (and even now, it sneaks in), I focused on the denying aspect.  Now I choose to embrace, rather than deny or reject. I still acknowledge that the practice is acceptance and non-attachment, and every so often (probably more often than I'd like to admit), I reject my perceived laziness, perceived lack of conmpassion, or selfishness.  I think recognizing where I can be of service is a better path than dwelling on "how selfish I am because I bought a coffee instead of gave it to charity", or drove instead of biked (we have high standards here in Portland!).

I have also stopped comparing myself to other people as much.  This has been an important thing on my journey.  It is so counter-productive! I now look at where I can improve and allow those parts of myself that are TRUE and real, rather than allowing the "default" to take over (in yoga, these are called Samskaras, caused by Vasanas-the habit patterns that cause karma; practicing yoga releases these bonds to allow freedom!).

It is a long journey, but one I am glad I chose to be on in this lifetime!
