1) I am not very good at doing new
things with my non-dominant (left) hand and 2) If I do not execute gracefully I
do not have much patience with myself.
While I do not spend my day obsessing over the exercise I am
trying to commit at least some small part of my day to the practice I have been
trying to brush my teeth and when I forget I try brushing my hair. Every task
is a ‘do over’ opportunity waiting to happen.
I have noticed that I do a few things with great precision
like steering my car and typing. I do these things well because I have
practiced them in the past. This is proof that my left hand is very capable and
the reason it is so hard to execute other tasks is simply because they are new.
I am currently in a professional
transition and when I do start a new job I need to remember the tasks will be
new and that I should be patient with myself. If not, I will create myself a
heap of unnecessary stress.
Taking the time to switch my brain into the moment to think
about what I am doing is also new. Focusing
on the task at hand makes the mental transition to the present effortless. I am
learning to be ambidextrous, more patient with myself and how to transition my
mind to the present.
Namaste
