In this fast moving world and the rapid changing generation it is necessary to be potentially competent in every walk of life. But when it comes to few things which are practiced for our well-being, is it really essential to be competent? In case of yoga, if you are attending a regular yoga class there are more than 100 members around you, who are practicing yoga for their respective benefits. In that case if you want to compete with the person beside you, who is practicing yoga for his own problem, do you think it is really helpful?
If you ask me I will definitely say “No”, to all the above questions. Even though, the person is suffering from the same problem like yours, it is not advised to compete with him in any ways. Let us see the reasons, why you should not compete.
What happens when you start comparing: The moment you start comparing with others, you feel it like a competition and try to do better than the other person. This makes you go against your capabilities and the capacities which lands you in injuries like muscle fractures, swelling and other internal fractures. Also your concentration is more on the fellow person's performance, due to which you will lack concentration on what you are practicing. This leads to zero or negative results even though you practice it for months and months. Because of this you do not find any change or betterment even after practicing yoga for longer durations and finally make your mind to discontinue the classes. Finally you become the victim for your own mistakes.
Hence, it is not advised to compete with the fellow members in the yoga class and instead it gives positive results when you start comparing your present performances with the past ones in order to see your own progress.
