learning how to pivot
Because it has always been done one way, doesn’t mean it has to continue in the same way. Is tradition really a habit or something else? Learning how to pivot, is stopping and turning. It takes practice to pivot, it gives me another perspective when I need to change directions and or approaches.

what does it look like to practice everyday?

The question, what does it look like to practice everyday? The answer has to be show up, even when I don’t feel like it. I’m a practitioner.
