The more you do something the more it continues. I now have implemented habits that set up my day. This is due to repetition.

My son knows how to put his shoes on. Repetition. I learned to dance. Repetition.

When my son learned to walk he had little falls, nothing serious, but the more he repeated the motion the more he finally conquered and walked without needing use his walker and like eating it becomes natural. My son knows the words to the Proclaimers songs. Repetition. Putting in to practice is by repeating.

I remember in an interview I said that my work was repetitive and I wanted to move up and they were like “Well this job is repetitive” and felt like an idiot. Employers want someone who will come in and be able to repeat the work because that is the heart of learning. If you want to impress be willing for repetition. Its like Barista’s they make coffee everyday, clear tables and learn how to heat up food and the only way they learn is by repetition. The more you do a job you can then move onto the job that is your dream but still means that you will have to do repetitive work. That is how you get better.

Weight Lifters learn by repetition, jockeys, Tennis players, singers and businessmen and women. When working in a call centre it would be repetitive. You learned codes, how to be great over the telephone, processing problems and my step sister is a Air Hostess/cabin crew and has to go through safety checks, make sure passengers are okay and what to do when the plane takes off and land.

So yes it is important part of life and if you want to be successful in your field it is by repetition. It is a positive word not negative and dart players are good because they repeat and how they count down and know what score to get that beats their opponent and crickets would have boiled over a 100 times to be able to aim for the stumps, jockeys have to learn by repetition to help the horse know when it is time to jump, sprint and be fast. The practice is repetition. Doing the the same consistent throw or bowling. My uncle plays bowls. He plays every year and he has learnt and learnt but repetition. So never fear it but embrace it.
