4 INTENTION ATTITUDE ATTENTION PREPARATION FOR PRACTICE MOTIVATION
Review your purpose and overall intention. Be honest! Don’t judge your reasons. Be aware and accept them. Example: I want more peace of mind GOALS Decide what you hope to work on in this session. Set a reasonable goal for where you are. Keep it simple. Example: not to get annoyed when my mind wanders. ATTITUDE EXPECTATIONS Bring to mind the dangers of expectations and be gentle with yourself. Find enjoyment in every practice, no matter what happens. There is no such thing as a ‘bad’ practice. DILIGENCE Resolve to practice diligently for the entire session. Recall that the best way to overcome resistance is by simply continuing to practice, without judging yourself. ATTENTION DISTRACTIONS Perform a quick inventory of things in your life that might come up to distract you. Acknowledge these thoughts and emotions and resolve to set them aside if they do arise. You may not be wholly successful, but at least you have planted a seed: the intention not to let them dominate your mind. Source: Based on Culadasa: The Mind Illuminated
