Yoga is a great way to exercise, gain strength and flexibility and boost your mental health. But did you know it can also help you to overcome your fear of failure? If you feel like a fear of failure is holding you back, maintaining a regular yoga practice can help you to find a way through that fear and let go of self-beliefs that aren’t serving you.
Connect With Your Body
If you’re feeling paralyzed by anxiety or fear of failure, you’re probably feeling stuck in your head, obsessing over negative thoughts. Yoga is a wonderful way to connect with your body, quiet your internal critic and practice some much-needed self-love.
Make Progress
Do you find it hard to try new things because you’re scared you’ll be bad at them? Yoga is a fantastic way to counteract this feeling. Of course, you won’t be able to pretzel your legs or do a headstand at first because that takes years of practice! But each week, you’ll see small signs of progress, helping you to realize that it’s okay to take time to improve.
Find Balance
Maintaining mental wellbeing and conquering that fear is all about finding balance. In yoga, there’ll be some days when you can balance perfectly and some days when you topple over, just like in life. Yoga teaches you that it’s all part of the journey!
