Personal practice
Who You Are
You've been performing a version of yourself that stopped fitting a while ago. The gap between who you are in the room and who you are on the drive home keeps widening.
Who will you become?
Day 1
“I am who I've always been”
One of six shifts in the 8-Day Practice
An experiment
Use your non-dominant hand
One week. One daily task. A different hand.
Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand. Unlock your phone. Write a note. Your dominant hand is confident and on autopilot. Your non-dominant hand is awkward, slow, and curious. That's the point.
This practice isn't about dexterity. It's about identity. The future will ask you to be a beginner again. Notice how it feels to operate without mastery.
More experiments like this, only available inside the 8-Day Practice
