It is so simple.
Steady yourself in the upright position. Tentatively balance yourself. Lift the right leg and put it down in front of you. Maintain that balance in the new position. Steadily ease off with the left leg and place it in front of the right leg. Maintain the balance in the new position. Establish that rhythm, develop the momentum and adjust according to changing circumstances. It’s the best way to make progress. Movement is not always essential. sometimes it’s about stopping looking back on where you’ve travelled and considering where you’re going and then getting back to that rhythm.
It is so simple.
That’s probably why we mess it up often. Without developing those basic things, we think we can rush off head long into something and the grand plans can be achieved overnight. No wonder we’re frustrated when that’s stymied and before long we can get bored with the effort it takes to just do the basics and we remain upset at the lack of movement.
It is so simple.
This is why it’s worth taking wise counsel to just bear in mind those basics and appreciate them for what they are and see what progress can be achieved by applying thsoe things. Once that is achieved then other things could be considered. Yet there will never be a need to veer away from those basics. It’s the foundation you can always return to when things get tough.
It is so simple.
