FIGHTING YOUR INNER DEMONS:
The thing about fighting your own demons is allowing yourself to be imperfect. The strive for perfection is what leads to immense internal suffering. Yoga is about being on your own mat, and not allowing your internal judgment to turn into external judgment and vice versa.
We all have demons and they look different to everyone. When conquering your demons, is forgiveness. Allow yourself to be loved as you are, not diminish yourself because you aren't where or what you want to be in the moment. I truly believe our suffering comes from the need to be an idea of perfection that is unattainable and unrealistic.
Life is messy, imperfect, and full of surprises. This is where the joy comes in. If your perspective is of love and acceptance of who you are, regardless of where you are on your path, joy will overcome the demons that like to creep in and destroy joy.
Fighting demons is about realizing they are just parts of you that need love and acceptance, then the letting go can happen.
