Before you commit
Breathwork
- Sitting still counting exhales while nothing seems to happen would bore you.
- You'd quit before the payoff that only shows up after weeks of practice.
- Feeling faintly ridiculous in early sessions would make you stop.
Juggling
- Picking balls off the floor over and over would wear your patience thin.
- Every new trick dropping you back to square one would frustrate you.
- You want faster progress than slow, physical, drop-and-repeat practice gives.
