We Become What We Practise

In this episode of Pearls of Wisdom, I explore the power of consistency and that what we repeatedly practise, we become!

We often hear "practice makes perfect", but in truth practice also makes permanent!

Whatever we repeatedly do becomes more familiar.

And this isn't only true of learning a language, playing an instrument, training for a sport or developing a new skill, we are also practising our thoughts, our words, our reactions and our beliefs every day.

Our thoughts influence our words. Our words influence our actions. Our actions become habits—and our habits shape our lives.

So what are we practising?
Are we repeatedly practising worry, comparison, self-criticism and reactivity? Or are we practising presence, awareness, kindness, courage and curiosity?

Whether we're learning a new skill, changing a habit, developing our relationships or becoming more conscious of our inner world, transformation rarely happens through one big effort.

It happens through returning.
Again and again.
Because consistency isn't about never stopping.
It's about always returning!
