Practice is an essential reset button that we must push many times
before we can experience any genuine newness.
Whether we're aware of it or not,
we are practicing all the time.
When we operate by our habituated patterns,
we strengthen certain neural pathways,
which makes us, as the saying goes, "set in our ways."
But when we stop using old neural grooves,
these pathways actually die off!
Practice can literally create new responses.
