Training for Thailand: Every Moment is Practice

I see my elder self in Thailand with the monks, speaking with travelers, enjoying my days with Joey in nature.

It’s a far out future, one decades from now. But it got me thinking, what does that mean for me now?

I thought:

You don’t become the monk later. You ARE the monk now.

So I made a list:

• Joey = the traveler I’m sharing wisdom with daily

• Champ = my animal companion on the path

• My home = the temple (my peaceful sanctuary)

• Focused work = serving, training, creating, real estate

• The practice = presence, reflection, encouraging others

I’m not waiting for Thailand. I’m training for Thailand right now.

The monk’s daily practice:

• Wake: SAVERS routine, solfeggio frequencies (morning ritual)

• Move: Running, training (embodiment, discipline)

• Work: Serving with presence (practice being fully in the moment)

• Create: Art, writing, gardening, recipes (authentic connection)

• Reflect: Journaling, decompressing, stillness (non-negotiable)

• Connect: Family, animals, community (deep presence)

• Rest: Honoring the temple (body, home, peace)

Every moment is practice. Every practice serves the path.
