One Apple A Day #728 - body first
For the last seven days, I focused mostly on one single daily practice.
I kept doing all my regular practices, but I took particular care of this one.
It was a simple recentering practice to help me stay in the flow during the day. And to make it more deliberate, I had a checkpoint with an accountability buddy every evening.
I thought my practice was all about focus, peace of mind and awareness of my emotions. And it is, but I was missing an essential part.
The quality of my attention starts with my body.
When my physical energy is low, I can't focus. No matter how hard I try, or the mental strategies that I activate, the quality of my attention stays low.
Most of my work is based on my mental and emotional faculties, so I often overlooked my physical energy.
Yet, it is just fundamental.
