daily practice
Daily practice can prepare your for the unknown. Do something consistently and you build a skill. It’s useful to think about what that skill should be and how you balance your energies.

taller or smaller?
We know we want to breathe better, have better balance and more flexibility – but do we want to take up more space? Sometimes. What served us in childhood might not serve us now.

comparing tones of mental voices
Sometimes the way forward involves admitting you are wrong. The problem is: we don’t like to do that! That’s why it pays to wait for the voice in your head that speaks with a compassionate tone. Then listen.

Meditation interrupts the thought process. One technique, counting breaths, doesn’t require you to sit with your eyes closed. You can do it in traffic too. Sometimes that really helps.
