Follow Up On New Concepts With Action

By Paul M. Jerard Jr.

This is good advice for Yoga teachers and students alike.

Unfortunately, you cannot progress without implementing newideas, changing systems, or generating action. You have toaccept evolution of ideas and be willing to leap forward."Sitting on your laurels," will make you lazy and stale.

New ideas come from a variety of resources - your teachers,mentors, coaches, students, books, videos, and many moredirections. If you don't write them down, they will beforgotten. Then you must put them in an area where you willrefer back to them.

Hopefully, this is an area that you will visit often. Goodplaces to store valuable notes are: On your desk top, in apersonal journal, or on your palm pilot. Refer back to yournotes often and start setting realistic goals.

The next step is to put them into action, and monitor yourprogress. Otherwise, you have wasted your time, your coach'stime, and your money.
