“We all want to practice the highest techniques, but first we have to ask ourselves if we have mastered the lower prerequisites, such as discipline” – The Dalai Lama
People often want to move to the highest or most complex technique or method in training, “diets” or business.
The latest high intensity interval training fad, quantifying everything on a smart watch or phone, keto diet this, carb-cycling that.
BUT, these things will do nothing if the basics aren’t in place
Simple daily practices such as journalling, a movement practice or a morning routine provide a feedback system which can help you to gauge and train things like consistency or discipline.
Without these two, no amount of higher level stuff will be effective.
