Yogi: I have less problems with my pain these days – I don’t fight it so much although it’s still there. I recognize that it’s better to move rather than to stay with it.

Before, I would say to myself that I would want to sit 45 minutes without moving. That was too focused on the pain and I realize that.

Sayadaw: Saying that I won’t move for 45 minutes can cause too much tension for the mind.

It is not necessary to fix something for ourselves and not be flexible with the situation.

We always need to make plans and have goals, but we mustn’t expect them to turn out exactly as we want them to be.

Let the mind be free.
