They say it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become world class at something.

It originated from a 1993 study of top violinists that found that the best violinists had average that 10,000 hours of practice by age 20.

But some had had much less and some more.

And it was only done a sample size of three groups of 13 people.

Either way, I’m sure we all agree that an amount of practice is needed to get any good at anything.

And that, no matter how good we naturally are or aren’t, we’ll get somewhat better at most (or all) things with practice.

We know this.

But we forget it sometimes.

We write-off some things as “not working” despite having spent next to no time practicing them.

We say “I’ve tried meditation and it didn’t do anything for me.”

Having probably done it a handful of times (at most) for five minutes or so.

Way under one hour, let alone 10,000.

Same with tracking our food.

Put in less than an hour’s total effort in and decide it’s “too much of a faff”.

Or a handful of hours learning new recipes or trying new meals.

Or maybe a couple of dozen hours total exercise and stop because we’re not getting results we’re happy with.

We get it.

All of the above can seem frustrating.

Can easily get left for something else that seems more pressing.

We don’t necessarily “feel like it”.

But……….

The good news is………..

This next time will probably be the hardest.

The one after that a little easier.

As we practice ourselves better.

And that frustration?

That’s good too.

It’s indicative that we’re learning.

That bit where it’s most challenging………

Annoying……..

Where we feel “this isn’t for me”……..

“I’m not cut out for this”…………

That is where we’re making the most progress.

The most improvement.

That’s the bit that it’s most worth ‘practicing ourselves better’ through!

Much love,
