Now is a good time to practice

When is a good time to practice? Now is a good time. It’s not always a good time, and yet it is. The time to do the thing is now. Regardless of motivation, discipline, your parents’ history of divorce, or your friend’s insistence on rescuing stray cats.

Sometimes you may choose that now is not a good time instead. That’s equally as powerful. You are fully behind that choice, not hiding, but standing behind it.

You are really motivated to practice playing the guitar today. That’s a good time to choose not to play it and do something else instead. Can you choose to play the guitar when the motivation is not there? What is required to do so?

This infinite process of investigation may be all there is.
