From deliberate practice to yoga practice

    This week, the yoga teacher gave us an assignment to listen to a book called “deliberate practice” and write the feeling after listening to it

.

I have heard this book before

.

Today, I find it out and listen to it again

.

I recall my mental journey of learning yoga

.

     1

.

My understanding of “deliberate practice” in the book is as follows: in the process of practice, “use the brain to the heart”, think deeply, and make progress in reflection

.

The book disenchants the theory of “10000 hours”: first, time is not enough for some things; Second, there may be more to some things; Third, it may not be useful

.

My understanding of this “useful” is: because the brain and body development of the human body serve for “survival”, all actions are to preserve physical strength and “survive”

.

So sometimes in the process of action, the brain and body will “lazy”, which is casual and instinctive, That’s why if we just use “10000 hours” numbly, it may not work

.

We need to fight against the “autonomous driving” state of our brain and actively think about how we can make progress every day

.

.

Set goals and see the vision

.

Because by chance, just because I want to improve my physical condition, I come into contact with yoga, and then I fall in love with it uncontrollably

.

    I really haven’t thought about what I’ll become

.

I think I can really imagine what the future will look like

.

I have the greatest imagination and curiosity about it, and then create it

.

I’m sure there will be a lot of motivation

.

.

Self drive from the heart

.

It’s hard to stick to one thing by external force

.

A year ago, I couldn’t imagine that I would go to a yoga studio after work

.

Other people’s admiration and praise, that is in the “self enjoyment” very after the thing

.

   I really enjoy the process of practice

.

One morning, I was ecstatic with the different feelings of the two “dog down” exercises

.

I felt my progress, which was the result of thinking and love

.

Connect with your heart

.

Living in the city, almost everything is trying to pull us onto the “overtaking lane”

.

Everything is too fast, which makes me tired and at a loss

.

   Yoga can give me a moment of peace, let me really slow down, in this process, understand their own body, understand the boundaries and limits of the body, slowly break through the limit

.

When resting, I will imagine me and my yoga mat rotating on the earth, “I” for the earth, very small, all the troubles are nothing“ I’m very big

.

I’m very important to myself

.

After learning yoga, I value my body more

.

.

Find balance and peace between one breath and one breath

.

The teacher said, people come to this world, with the first breath, crying; When you leave, breathe your last breath

.

So life is a “one inhale and one exhale”

.

I think this angle is very unique

.

Life is very long and short

.

“Dreams are still long and there are many roads

.

It’s not only you and me who are cheated by this    So it’s enough to live in the present moment

.

I think I really live for myself after learning to “look inside”

.

I used to care too much about other people’s evaluation and live in other people’s expectations

.

Now I only care about whether I am happy and satisfied

.

In October of last year, I was still troubled by my lack of concentration

.

Now I’m not

.

.

The pursuit of excellence is a well tempered practice

.

My teacher is the “king of asana”

.

I can see that he can bear hardships in order to practice yoga, which may be his own pleasure

.

Therefore, if I want to be outstanding, I have to accept the dullness and practice in this process

.

Although I don’t want to practice difficult movements, I can actually think about it

.
