IT’S A PRACTICE

WHAT IS? … EVERYTHING

What we do.

It’s simple enough to understand when learning a sport. I mean you don’t go out and attempt a marathon one day out of the blue, fall short and then say I can’t do it. Practice gets you to your goal. 

What we speak.

In the same way, the way we speak to ourselves is a practice of directing thought. Many things, good and bad, at any given time may be true, but you have the power to choose your focus, where to put energy, what to fuel. And if that feels too hard to do, impossible even, remember … It may take more than a good intention, a moment of inspiration. Ultimately, resorting to waving the white flag, stating the only thing in this moment that makes any sense given the sincere effort to change by saying, “That’s just who I am” is a false declaration. It seduces you to stay put and accept your fate. It’s not who you are; it’s simply a coping mechanism. It’s not who you are … It’s what you learned. Learn Something New. And as with all new endeavors: make attempts, readjust missteps, redirect focus, little by little, consistent movement, growing awareness, choosing, acknowledging. Don’t Change … Transform. 

Your Soul Is Rooting For You 🙂
