One Apple A Day #725 - little by little
My brain is quite good at understanding things. In particular myself and my own behaviours. My mind can dissect the things I've said or done, find triggers and patterns, discover what I should change and how I can do things differently. It can also tell me compelling and reasonable stories.
My mind can do all of this. In hindsight.
However, when it really counts, my emotions and my instinct are way faster and louder than my mind.
Do you know that feeling? When you know what would be the right thing to say or do, but you talk and act differently?
To know or understand something in one thing. To live it or be it, is a whole different story.
What I've understood is that it's all about practice. Using the mind to design and plan the exercises I need to become who I want to be.
And then going for it.
Day after day.
Until I'll get to the point when my thoughts, emotions and instincts are in sync.
It takes time and a lot of failures.
But little by little, I'm getting closer.
