I just had this thought on my dog walk, and thought I’d share.

With our thoughts, our actions, the way we hold our bodies and what we choose to focus on with our minds, we’re all practicing something all the time.

So it’s a good exercise to occasionally un-click autopilot and pay attention to what you’re practicing, because that’s what you’re wiring in. 

Are you practicing stories of scarcity and struggle or stories of prosperity and wellbeing? 

Are you practicing holding your breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop or hiding behind perfectionism?

Or are you practicing engaging with life, wholeheartedly: taking risks, taking inspired action, doing your best and letting the chips fall where they may? 

Are you rehearsing an endless, soul-sucking litany of the terrible, no-good, very bad or unwanted things that happen in the world? 

Or are you consciously choosing to focus on the trillions of wonderful things that happen in and around your body and your world every single second of every single day? 

(Catch this principle: When you focus on something, you’re saying “More, please!” of that thing. Whatever it is.)

Are you practicing putting all sorts of conditions on your own happiness, refusing to be satisfied unless and until Some Other Person acts the way you want them to?

Or are you practicing joy-tripping through life, regardless of other people’s behavior and opinions?

Are you practicing arguing for your limitations, desperate not to feel misunderstood? 

Or are you practicing giving in to the natural trajectory of your own expansion, asking timidly at first… how might I be able to be, do or have THAT?… then taking what feels like the right next step, doing your best and watching expectantly as the other elements of your future fall into place and light up before you?

We’re all rehearsing something all the time.

So it pays to be intentional about what we choose to practice.
