This is day nine of the Daily 10 Minute Practice. How are you doing? Did you pick something that makes you feel good once you have it done? Did you pick something to do for your daily practice that you have been wanting to do?
I hope this is helping you do it!

This is day eight of the Daily 10 Minute Practice, are you still with me? I am just going to have faith that there are people out there doing it, but they are too busy or shy to comment. I am keeping the faith that someone is using the calendar (besides me) that I made. I have a Nia Class and a Yoga Class this morning, but I will comment when I get my 10 minutes in!

This is a short month, so we won’t even be getting a full thirty days. And if you are like me and you miss a couple of days that you’ll be getting less, but I still think there is benefit from doing something daily. Even if it is MOST days and not EVERY day. What do you think? I guess it depends on what you decided to make your Daily 10 Minute Practice. But . . . I am gonna keep going. What about you?

So here it is day six. How are you doing? While I want to say I hope you are doing better than me, I don’t want to make it a bad thing if you miss some days of your Daily 10 Minute Practice. . . . . like I did. 🙂 I mean things come up. But I am going to work to get back at it.
So I am sticking with . . . how are YOU doing?

This is the fourth day of your Daily 10 Minute Practice. WHAT you are doing is up to you. And you are not necessarily posting WHAT you are doing here . . . you can if you want, I would love to hear. But I don’t want to put anyone on the spot. This is the check-in spot for having done what you want to do. So when I ask about how you are feeling, I am not asking if you feel more relaxed, or have bigger muscles or more flexibility or a more space in your home . . . because with most things 40 minutes might not make that big of a difference. BUT . . . . having done something for four days in a row, meeting that challenge might have you feeling good. It might have you recognizing that it is not really that difficult to carve out ten minutes. It might have you encouraged to keep going so that you WILL see gains in your chosen practice.
So . . . how are you feeling?

On Thursdays I teach Nia at 9:00 am, then at 10:15 am I teach a stretch class, so I will probably be doing my Daily 10 Minute Practice after my morning classes. I want to get it done before the yoga class I teach at 6:00 pm. I am putting this hear so that when you have completed your 10 minutes today you can comment.
Day two, how are you doing?

So here it is, some of you are early birds and you might have finished your Daily 10 Minute Practice. So you’ve marked off your calendar. I can’t decide what I want to concentrate on. There are so many things I should be doing I am not sure which one to do daily. I want to have a focus. So I am still thinking, but perhaps you have your plan.
Here is the place to comment.
I hope some of you participate. I have one friend that is going to give it a go for two weeks. That is a good idea. Giving it a try for a couple of weeks. We will see how it goes for us!

I have been hearing from my students and my friends that they want to do something for at least 10 minutes a day. Well, a couple of people wanted to do something for five minutes a day but for the majority of people it has been 10 minutes a day. There are many different “somethings” that people want to do. Some of them want to do yoga for 5 or 10 minutes a day. Some people want to do meditation for at least 5 minutes or more a day. Some people want to get a jump on their Spring Cleaning and they want to clean for 10 minutes a day. Some people want to read. Some people want to get out in nature. Some want to walk. Almost as many people who have talked about it to me is the different number of things people want to do. They were talking about it because they wanted to do it, but they had not yet succeeded in doing their desired “thing” for their desired time every day. I know that I have said that I wanted to do something for 10 minutes every day and I didn’t get very far along before I got side tracked. And sometimes it was a week before I even realized I hadn’t done my desired thing. I need something to remind me to do it every day. It also helps me when I am checking in with someone, letting them know if I did or didn’t do it. Also it helps when there are a few people doing it. So I thought we could do it here.
Here is a calendar check in sheet. This is my something to remind me every day. You can print it out or save it to your computer. Then every day do your 10 minute “practice” (sounds better than “thing” and it is whatever you decide you want to do for 10 minutes). Check it off and comment on my blog. I did something like this before. I will post on my blog and you just comment when you have finished your time. Also, you can comment, of course, if you haven’t had time to get to your practice. It is ok, we all miss days sometimes, but the idea is to not miss too many and to get right back to it.
Having a reminder is so helpful. Having the accountability of checking in helps, too. And having other people participate is great. It helps encourage us to get it done. It helps keep us on track. It also helps us when we get off track because we are there to cheer each other right back on.
So . . . . if you have a practice that you want to do daily for 10 minutes . . . let’s do it. It could be that you want to do something daily for more time and that works, too. You can still use the calendar check off sheet. And you still can check in. I was thinking if I posted this today, Monday, we would be ready to start Wednesday which is February 1st. I thought that would work well. We will get a chance to do our daily practice for 28 days. I have not yet decided what I want to do, but by Wednesday I will have that worked out. So what do you say, wanna give it a go?
