Hi all, I've been a-lurking here mostly~ I had the feeling to introduce myself today though and found the date that I'd written down when I first started: turns out I'm exactly 1/3 of the 6 months through

I've mostly gone through life feeling like I don't have much discipline to practice. What I've been trying recently is the feeling of relaxing into practice or a soft focus and nurtured excitement to practice; also a closer listening to the natural feeling and ease to practice (and noticing when I'm dissociated conversely so that I can relax/listen again) Some days are 'good' some days are 'less good'. I haven't yet figured out the harder/more active aspects of self-discipline and I'm sure there's some fear/laziness/stuff to look at there! I met a friend recently who now owns a tea and pottery shop. She told me how her husband (the potter) unfailingly makes 3 pieces a day -- out of a sense of practicality ('I sell 3 pieces a day, I have to make 3 pieces a day') and a quiet craft I thought that was something that I'd love to emulate and grow into; looking back at the first 1/3 I feel happier, more relaxed, more spacious, more able to notice the feeling of connectedness and being larger; some psychological stuff also feels like it's being dislodged -- this feels like a matter of how much I let myself relax/the feeling of falling forward (esp. in relationships)

I'm hoping to further develop this quiet craft in the next 2/3, listen better, and (one can hope!) to get over a little more of myself in a kind and plodding kinda way P.S. I'm Daniel, from Singapore; nice to meet you all!
