When people hear the word practice they often think about sports. Practicing endless free-throw shots for basketball, kicking balls for soccer, football plays, katas in martial arts, etc. You get the idea. We need to think bigger than that. Way bigger, but smaller. You’ll see what I mean.
Think everyday life.
What is it that you practice every single day? Think of practice as habits.
Are you brushing your teeth daily, showering, sleeping every day?
That’s practicing, but we don’t look at it that way. If you practice those and get better your life improves. If you don’t, then it won’t. What and how you choose to practice changes your life
Is it a box of prepackaged food on the go or a wholesome meal? The more you practice that choice the better you get.
Do you exercise? Do you move? Or do you sit on your butt all day long?
Are you working late every night and never seeing your family? Or do you put things down let them rest and be in the moment with your loved ones?
Whenever you begin to practice anything you simply make small directed effort on a daily basis and then it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. It’s not an all or nothing approach.
Enjoy your practice.
