Techne Update!

In the weeks after I originally posted about my techne, I changed my mind about what I wanted it to be. It was originally to become better with technologoy, but I quickly hit a wall with that idea because it is a very difficult thing to practice. I wasn't sure how to practice my skills with technology without having specific instruction or some kind of specific goal in mind, which I didn't have. Therefore, I changed my techne to something easier for me to physically practice -- working out. The specific goal of my techne was to improve my physical strength by going to the gym at least four times a week for one hour. This specific goal made practicing my techne much easier for me, because I was able to take it one day at a time and I felt less overwhelmed. I have been practicing this techne for the past few months, and I have seen lots of improvement. I am a lot stronger than I was before, and I feel that I have gained arrete through frequently practicing my techne. I can understand why a techne is important to feeling peaceful and confident in yourself. Having a goal in mind to bring yourself peace is very effective -- especially if it is something you can easily enjoy doing! I feel very accomplished and improved because of my schedule with working out.
