And oftentimes, repetition doesn't stop to check whether the behavior is helping you or hindering you.
The only real question is, what are you training for? What are you actually developing? So when we talk about practice and we talk about maybe more mindless practice, think about worry.
Think about every day when you rehearse the worst version of tomorrow until it feels like preparation.
Where are you not being met? What things aren't going your way? Maybe it's avoidance.
Teaching yourself that discomfort ends the moment that you back away, that you retract.

Take some time to reflect on not what you intended to do, but what you actually had repeated.
And then when you audit your day, pick the single repetition that costs you the most.
