Minimizing Change
I find I frequently try to undertake too many changes all at once in many directions and domains in my life. Once a change has been set in place a habit has been established that I want to stick to. But once I have had the intoxication of making a change I want to follow the pattern and energy of change into more changes. This would be unfortunate because the habit has not been fully fixed in place and the changes will eventually go away.
I want to make the change and set that path and stick with it. Any changes at this point should be minor adjustments. There is enormous power in inertia. Make sure the path is the right path, set the priority then once the change has been established into a repetitive habit strengthen it with repetition only making small incremental changes.
My yoga practice works this way. The practice is modified only gradually over time. It becomes easier to do because of the energy that has been expended in that direction. Modifications either stick or don’t and it doesn’t matter they survive on their own merit. The practice continues with the great power of inertia that repetition gives it evolving gradually over time.
