Come back to the present

In our physical martial arts training, we are regularly confronted with not being able to perform a certain technique properly, despite practising it over and over again. Frustration can mount pretty quickly if we're not careful.

This is where we also train ourselves to come back to the present moment and keep focusing on the needs of the situation in front of us, instead of worrying about how long we've been practising this for, how much longer it will take to get it right, or how come others are making progress while we're not.

It is good practice to constantly bring the mind into the present moment, to deal with what's in front of us, without the influence of what may have already happened previously. It's our best shot at achieving the best possible outcome.
