Something that was helpful to me when I was working on a rule via Practicing the Way, was realizing that I am already doing most of the things on the list. I just hadn’t realized they were spiritual practices, i.e. lunching regularly with a friend. As an enneagram 1, I always feel like I’m never doing enough, but going through that exercise helped me to see I was already doing a lot--that I essentially had a rule, just not on paper.

What a good reminder! It's not always about adding new practices but perhaps even just identifying the good rhythms we want to name and sustain.
Just pre-ordered your book! Yay!
