Back to Basics

qosI just printed out my first practice checklist in almost a year.
I've been consistent in doing the most basic of practices -- but "the most basic" is not enough. Not for who I am. Not for who and want I want to be.
I'm using the same format I did before: a table divided by the days of the week with the daily work listed each day next to check boxes, but I've added a larger last square for weekly goals and notes. This week's goals are simple: to ground myself again in a regular routine of full practices, and to complete a full series of meditations with at least one of the Qabalistic symbols as I work on them in order.
This kind of discipline has always been my biggest challenge in every field I've ever worked in: consistent, repetitive, focus on the basics so that I have a firm foundation on which to continue to grow and develop.
I'm damn tired of my own inconsistency, and there's only one solution: renewed determination and commitment to buckle down and Do The Work.
May the gods help me keep to the path, maintain my focus and discipline, that I become a more useful and effective servant.
