Tiny Practicing

There are times when you may have a stomach ache, a fever, a break-up, or basically had something that happened to you that makes you feel like a drag.

What to do at these points?

You can focus on something that you are usually passionate about (but can’t really seem to bring it out of your system to go full force at this very moment) and keep working at it in little bits.

For example, if you go to a kickboxing class, but both your arms are injured and your legs feel numb, simply go anyways, and do the sit-up exercises and some light skipping, and that’s all you’ll do.

You’ll find that’s never all you’ll end up doing, because the motivation and energy that comes from putting little bits of love into something just grows in a cumulative way that expands and becomes more awesome as time goes on, in ways that you don’t expect.

The truth is, the more you add and build on the tiny practice things, the more your foundation for your own discipline will grow. If you are a writer, and you are in the process of “writers block”, just write something, anything and it’ll probably turn out good. One paragraph will do. Maybe more. Whatever.

It’s a funny thing that seems so simple, yet takes a lifetime to master, like all the not-so-hidden-secrets to life:

After you’ve done practicing, practice more.
