This week I have been reflecting on my ability to convey what I want to teach to the students. I have come a long way over the years, but I need to continue to improve. To do this I need to recognize what I need to work on. For instance, I stumble with my words sometimes and don't get what I was intending out of the class. I believe my problem is I am not letting my mind slow down. I think too fast and in turn I speak too fast.
I feel I have a long way to go. Like anything, it takes practice. Consistent practice with mindful corrections along the way. If I just concentrate on slowing down and remaining present to exactly what I am doing at the moment, down to the exact sentence I am speaking, I will improve. I need to continue to focus on why I am explaining what I am and what benefit it will have to the students' progress.
“First you must be calm, then your mind can be steady. Once your mind is steady, then you are at peace. Only when you are at peace, are you able to think and finally gain.” -Confucius
