Tai chi training is all about results. Here are some results
that you may see because of your tai chi lessons and daily practice.
1. You feel better after your daily practice than you did
before you started.
2. People start to notice that your personality has changed
for the better.
3. People start to notice that you walk/move differently.
4. You don't get those minor, nagging illnesses that everyone
around you shares.
5. You become stronger and more able to do things that you
couldn't do before.
6. You start to feel calmer, with more thoughtfulness in
your life. You are more able to manage your emotions.
7. You start to feel more creative and can find new
solutions to old issues in your life.
8. You have more energy to do daily activities.
9. You look forward to your daily practice.
10. Your healthcare professional notices changes in you.
If you experience any or all of these, it indicates that
your tai chi practice is working.
Let me give you an example from my own practice. Somehow, I
had cut way back on my tai chi practice for a month or so. I was really busy
with other things, I was traveling, I was trying to write, etc. I had lots of
excuses.
I could see negative changes in my life because of my lack
of practice. In short, I was turning into a couch potato. One thing that was
really bothering me was a serious case of writer's block. I had a blog post
that just wasn't getting done. I couldn't find the right words to finish it
off.
I decided to start practicing again regardless of the
excuses. Within three days, I could notice a significant increase in my energy
level. My writer's block was gone. Over the weekend, I finished off the problematic
article and the next three articles I had planned. I wrote an article for a
newsletter. I got a significant start on a magazine article I had been planning
to work on. The creative juices were flowing again.
