"Today, I notice and return sooner."

The Sankalp

When I drift from what I meant to do, I return a little faster than last time.

The whole of abhyasa is in the shortening distance between noticing and returning. Not perfect attention — attention that comes back quickly. That gap is where the practice lives.

✦
  1. Notice you have drifted.
  2. Do not spend time on why.
  3. Return to the practice right now.
  4. Keep the gap shorter each day.
  • Recovery gets faster
  • Practice compounds
  • Less shame around drift
