This practice has similarities to Rudolf Steiner's Six Exercises for Basic Esoteric Development. I've been practicing at least a few of these, nearly every day for most of my adult life. I've found them to be a great help. My 2 favorites are: The Control of Will Choose a simple action to perform each day at a time you select. It should be something you do not ordinarily do; it can even be a little odd. Then make it a duty to perform this action at that time each day. Rudolf Steiner gives the example of watering a flower each day at a certain time. As you progress, additional tasks can be added at other times. This exercise is as hard as it is simple and takes a very strong intention to complete. To start you might think of it as you think of a dentist's appointment - you do not want to be late. It can be helpful to mark your success or failure on the calendar each day. If you completely forget at the time, but remember later, do it then and try to do better the next day. My other favorite isn't on this list, but is a related practice: Draw the same plant or tree every day for 5 minutes. This offers incredible insight into the observation of small changes taking place as part of the change in seasons. https://leadtogether.org/six-basic-exercises-esoteric-development-rudolf-steiner/ https://leadtogether.org/six-basic-exercises-esoteric-develo... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner%27s_exercises_for_spiritual_development https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner%27s_exercises...
