#Rewiring. with #Daily, #Regular, #Awareness #Practice

#DailyMicroExercise - combining and #Blending the following 

MIND: Centring and emptying mind, and slowly breathe as 'new reflex' - Book of the 'Void' (Book of the Five Rings), my 3 year formal training in TM (Transcendental Meditation)

BODY: Physically be stable-grounded, open and flexible - basic Tai Chi/Wing Chun/Aikido/Kendo even Judo/TKD/Shotokan or Kempo Karate/Western Boxing/Savate/Fencing receptive stance - which is centred-grounded-stable and not resolute-forceful (at least initially), flexible and open; 

EMOTION: including Breathing rhythms from the martial arts .. or before serving in Tennis ... or before public speaking or presenting on 'live' broadcast television or online ..... 

PERSONAL TASK: and adopt open live interviewer approach (following flow of other persons speech), and going with what is said by others (by really, really listening-with ears, mind and heart-all senses) ... similar to when meeting people professionally or socially (in ideal, and under ideal conditions, and training for less-than-ideal and non-ideal conditions)
