oh yes I totally agree with you on that point. we were just talking about it the other day and it’s one of those things that sounds simple but actually takes a bit of practice to get right. I remember when I first tried it I kept missing the rhythm and then after a few attempts it just clicked. my friend said the same thing happened to her so I think it’s pretty normal. anyway let me know if you want to give it another shot this weekend because I’m free and the weather is supposed to be nice. I can bring the gear and we can find a quiet spot near the park. honestly I think the most important part is just staying relaxed and not overthinking it. once you stop worrying about technique it starts to flow naturally. I’ve been doing it for a few months now and it still surprises me how much better it gets each time. even my neighbor noticed and asked what I had changed. hopefully it works out for you too because I think you will really enjoy it once you get the hang of it.

oh that sounds really familiar actually. my sister tried something similar last year and she said it took her a while to figure out the right balance. she kept tweaking the timing and eventually found a setup that worked perfectly for her daily routine. I think the trick is to start small and then build up gradually so it doesn't feel overwhelming. I noticed that when I tried it I was way too eager at first and overdid it which made it harder to stick with. once I scaled back and focused on consistency it became much more natural. my friend recommended a book about it and there was this one chapter that really changed how I approached the whole thing. it talked about pacing and listening to your body which sounds cliche but actually helped a lot. anyway if you want I can send you the notes I took because they break it down pretty simply. let me know what you think and we can compare notes sometime next week. I am around most evenings and it would be good to catch up anyway.
