Today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are. \u00b2No long practice periods are required today, but very frequent short ones are necessary. \u00b3Once every ten minutes would be highly desirable, and you are urged to attempt this schedule and to adhere to it whenever possible. \u2074If you forget, try again. \u2075If there are long interruptions, try again. \u2076Whenever you remember, try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">2. You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably find it more helpful if you do. \u00b2However, you may be in a number of situations during the day when closing your eyes would not be feasible. \u00b3Do not miss a practice period because of this. \u2074You can practice quite well under any circumstances, if you really want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">3.
