Using the song All of Me, I am going to show you how to plan and execute the daily practice routines I recommend. So many of us struggle with this! First I propose timings, then I show you how to do the work. Note: this whole sequence must be repeated a number of times to work. I’ve personally always enjoyed getting gradually better at it, but if that’s not in your nature, then Patience is the codeword here!
