Haiying, I would absolutely love if you were my art teacher. Many teachers I have had are very forceful and not understanding like you. I love you, Haiying!
When I was training in the past, all the "teachers" I worked with were very forceful which resulted into some traumas and bad memories that took years to heal through. When I started practicing yoga (this time I'm doing it on my own, relying on my own inner feeling and pace), I learned the concept of "Ahimsa" - non violence. Pressing yourself to do something is lack of ahimsa. Your words are precious.
SURPRISE!! Here I am! Alive, awake and gleefully commenting on your video. You always, always manage to say something that hits the right spot for me personally. I felt a dreadful failure that the picture I wanted to paint just for you was, I thought, a disaster - because I tried too hard and was forcing myself to produce something magnificent. Our mutual friend, Neil, said he loved it so I felt a bit better. But again Haiying, you are so wise my sister! I Love You! xxx
Yes..... good sense. Enjoy life with everything that comes with it : )

I used to try this approach with my sports teacher: "I don't fell like running one kilometer today..."
It didn't work :-((
