Somewhere along the line, we learned to believe that life was only worth living if it feels good, and we have to avoid feeling bad at all costs. In yoga, we call this aversion (dvesa) and attraction (raga), and while it is good to know the things in life that we prefer as well as the things that we do not enjoy so much, these aversions and attractions can largely be used by the ego to keep us separate and stuck.

03: Where in your life can you stop fighting/resisting and start accepting?
