How well do you bring hara or center to what you do?

As I was folding my hakama after aikido practice today. My first pass was really sloppy.

hakamaHakama are the long traditional pants we wear over our gi to practice. Folding requires focus lining up 7 pleats carefully. I could have thrown the poorly folded hakama in my bag – nobody would notice but me.

I caught myself, though. And, took the time to refold.

It felt good.

Is there something in your world you could bring more ‘center’ to and have it be a lot better?!
