Yoga is not about appearances. It is finding and eradicating the worm so that the whole apple, from skin inward, can be perfect and a healthy one.

Your mind is like a spoiled rich kid! You have raised it to think whatever it wants, whenever it wants to and for however long, with no regard for consequences or gratitude....So when a thought arises, just watch it,; don't react to it.
"Oh I really want ice cream"...that's nice, see what it's like to want something but not always get it.
