About the picture: Most balancing asanas also require strength. In Astavakrasana, the upper arms must hold the body. This pose is also easy to integrate. It fits well after pashasana.

If you practise regularly, you will notice that some practices go wonderfully well. You feel strong and flexible. The asanas are successful. Flow is experienced.

Then again, you barely manage to get started. Sometimes you get the hang of it and an intense exercise emerges from a difficult beginning. But this is not always the case. Sometimes you struggle through the 90 minutes and are glad when the exercise is over.

You can't control what happens on the mat.

My insight: you have no choice but to accept what happens. You have to accept what life throws at you. Everything is an opportunity for self-awareness. In the end, you can be happy about what you are allowed to experience.
