Let a month of practice give you something to learn from.
For readers who want affirmation and visualization connected to concrete attempts, observation and room to change their minds.
An intention can feel convincing on the page and become difficult to use in the middle of a day. The Daily Practice follows that distance through seven teaching sessions: choosing an intention, finding honest language, imagining a next scene, making a beginning, meeting interruption, observing what happened and shaping a practice of your own.
The expanded edition adds 30 daily entries and four fuller weekly reviews. Work with one available object, make an invitation that can be declined, request usable feedback or leave a note that tomorrow can use. Troubleshooting addresses elaborate records, difficulty imagining, changing intentions and exercises that become a way to avoid the activity itself. Four worked routes and a personal fieldbook help readers adapt the method to their own circumstances.
Inside the pages
Ideas with somewhere to go.
Thirty daily entries
Try distinct activities involving preparation, relationships, feedback, interruptions and finishing.
Four weekly reviews
Compare actual attempts, distinguish practice from preparation and decide what deserves another month.
Troubleshooting and companions
Use practical alternatives when imagery or routines do not fit. A separate six-page schedule and five-page card set are included.
How to spend time with it
Read the opening sessions with one intention in mind, then begin the daily program. The numbered days provide a sequence, not a deadline. Use the reviews after a set of actual attempts; return to troubleshooting when the exercise starts replacing the activity.
Spend time with the ideas
Read. Reflect.
Make it your own.
