Making an honest assessment of yourself is the first (and sometimes the hardest) step. We all have ideals we would like to live up to, and personal development goals we are striving toward, but to reach these we need to know the point we are at now. Look at your approach to the things in your life, such as your work, your family, and your relationships. Imagine that your good friends were describing your personality. It may be useful to write a list of these strengths & weaknesses.
Right effort in your yoga practice requires you to be aware of your energetic habits. If you are the kind of person who is very driven, then you need to practice with moderation, perhaps taking the easier options in class. If you are someone that gives up easily then you may need to challenge yourself more often.
