  • A comment on Conversation: How do we overcome the tendency to slip back into the old routine of life - and truly capture and ACT on the lessons in talks like this?

    Apr 27 2011: Hi Mick,

    I learned one (of so many) great things from yoga. My instructor once said, “When you reach a certain pose, check whether you’re breathing smoothly. If not, back off, don’t force it. But once you feel comfortable in that position, challenge yourself, go to the next level so your muscles grow.” Being comfortable can be dangerous, we get carried away and forget to move forward. We don’t grow, we go through the day.

    Great point!

    Now I’m making from the day. How? I plan the day and ask myself: who will I see (be with) today and how can I share something valuable with him/her? What will I learn from today that I don’t know before? Am I successful everyday? No. But if I ask myself these two questions before I start my day, I minimize the chance of slipping back into the old routine of life.

    All the best!
