Practices naturally follow self-observation. A practice is a behavior that we do again and again with the intention of improving a quality or competence. In order to improve, we must be able to observe whether or not we are doing the behavior competently and correct accordingly. Selfobservation then becomes part of every practice that we do. Here are examples of practices that clients have taken on over the years. A practice fades into the background when a person has done it enough times to be able to competently perform the action effortlessly and seamlessly. For example, many of us have practiced making right-hand turns, but probably none of us practices making right-hand turns on our way to work. We ve practiced enough so that we can effortlessly turn right and the action is part of a seamless flow of driving. As you read through the following examples, remember that that is the intention of each practice. As in the self-observation appendix, the categories presented will be business, relationship, and personal. Feel free to use them as you like with yourself or your clients.
