embrace the unknown

"In headaches and in worry/Vaguely life leaks away", W.H. Auden.

Oh then, I should start yoga practicing. Having fixed ideas about myself can often obscure my true nature, as I unconsciously shut myself off from experiences, or actually tell myself, in advance, how am I going to react. I have to transcend the ego. Saying things that I didn't mean, or had unaccountable mood swings. When am unhappy and out of touch with myself, usually due to stress and being constantly bombarded by external pressures that give me no time or freedom to look into myself. Acting against my instincts leave me feeling unworthy and lacking in integrity. This is of course arises from a lack of self-confidence and a lack of a sense of my own self.
