ILP - Day 23

Scalability. I think I've lauded it before, but one of the best things about the ILP is that it's scalable. So when you have a severe rib injury or whatnot, you can still practice, in accordance with what Paul calls the one repetition model. That is, in whatever practice you choose to do, make sure you do at least one 'rep' (he was referring to fitness; pushups and the like, but you can apply it anywhere. Just do something and the rest will follow).

 ***

Just a little sidenote: I've referenced Paul so many times that it's not even funny. Maybe he should compile all his suggestions (emotional inbox being the latest) 'cos some of them are pretty damn good. Steve Pavlina eat your heart out.  Plus, I smell a new breed of fiction coming on. Out with hysterical realism, in with... actualized re-capturing of the fragmented self? Wank! But you get the picture.

***

Now, in some instances it may be physically impossible to complete at least one rep of your auxillary practises (see Ribs, Bruised) but with the one minute core practises, you can at least keep that intentionality from disappearing. It's an inspired inclusion, and one that I can't praise enough.

I think it was William from Integral Options who suggested that blocks will start emerging around day 30. I think mine have emerged earlier, because of all these injuries. But that's for tomorrow.
