Just look at your training as a way of feeling good. If you beat yourself up for doing only 20 minutes you condition yourself to feel bad while you're doing tai chi and you'll slow stop doing it all together. Find a way to look forward to that 20 minutes. If you catch yourself feeling bad when you think about tai chi, think about the parts you like (especially during practice). This way you'll condition yourself to look forward to practice time; feel good before, during and after practice; you'll find you unconsciously set aside at least that much time; and you'll also unconsciously start looking for ways to 'sneak in' a little extra time. Keep up the good work, and by all means enjoy yourself. It's why we're alive to begin with. ;-)> John You’re doing great. Just look at your training as a way of feeling good.
