Balance your continuous applied effort with less attachment to outcome, and bring about greater equanimity, greater evenness of mind.
Our mind can settle into focusing more on the here and now rather than be fixated on the goal and the outcomes. This will calm the vrittis, the near-constant fluctuations of the mind.
Try this in your next yoga session, diligent effort and presence without any goal or expected outcomes in mind for each pose. Quit trying to “achieve” that pose, and see what you discover!
