Improvement Versus Enjoyment?
We immerse ourselves in whatever situation we’re motivated toward by finding ways to engage deeply in it.
Slow Down to Speed Up
Mental training requires us to become more aware of our motivation. Are we motivated by achievement, taking a big fall, or are we motivated by learning how to fall?
Helpful Helping
Warriors pay attention to the struggle itself so they can notice things they can do to support the struggle of others.
A Progression for Better Communication
Knowing “It’s not about our ego” and “We’re doing our best” allows us to accept situations quickly so our attention is free to flow spontaneously, as needed, so we can learn.
Preference for Weaknesses
Much of mental training has to do with expanding awareness. Having favorites and preferences interferes with this process.
The Ultimate Goal: A Free Mind
An important part of freeing the mind, so it can flow, requires finding a middle way through action.
Practice Versus Application
Our attention can narrow to do more tactical practice, or expand to strategically apply what we’ve learned to achieve the goal.
How the Mind Scares Itself
What’s more challenging is finding our way through intangible fears that create a toxic inner situation.
No Preferences; Constant Improvement
If we pay attention to the need for growth within us, then we can take action without anxiety.
Achievement Addiction
We can be addicted to achievement, justifying any behaviors to achieve an end goal.
