Contemplate Your Spiritual Practice
Reflect on your daily practice. Are you practicing regularly and for as long as you would like?
Are you able to incorporate all the practices you wish to master into your daily practice?
Reflect deeply on what type of practitioner you really want to be. What are the obstacles that stand in your way?
Think about any tendencies you have that prevent you from practicing in this way. What is the main cause? Identify the things that cause you to put off practicing.
