The power of practice

Very often (probably daily) in my practice I discuss with patients the idea that whatever health goals they have require practice.
Nobody expects to be great at a sport or painting, or some other skill the first time they try it, so why do we expect ourselves to be perfect at eating healthy, exercising regularly, sleeping well, and implementing healthy habits immediately? Making great food choices for 6 days and then having a bad food day on the 7th doesn’t mean you can’t get back on the horse and make good food choices after that. It just means you need to keep practicing and the choices will get easier. The same goes for meditation. Most people try meditation a few times and give up because it is hard. But why did you expect it to be easy? Continuing to meditate regularly will help you get better and it will get easier. Yoga is called a “practice” because it isn’t about how well you do it, but the consistency of doing it... You get the idea...
