Are you familiar with the idea of having a touchstone ritual?

It's something that I first learned about from a basketball coach I worked with a very long time ago. This coach taught his players a touchstone ritual that they'd all perform after they missed a shot. They tapped their right hand to their left elbow, left wrist and then clapped. It would happen so fast you wouldn't even notice it. Almost like a nervous tick to the outside observer. But to anyone that knew, it was clear: they were giving themselves a fresh start.

This ritual helped them dust off the previous miss. It helped ground them in what they had practiced. It brought a level of awareness to where they were RIGHT NOW - next shot (never last shot).

Every moment of every day is not going to be amazing and we can't let those moments impact our next shot.

Give yourself and everyone in your life a fresh start.

You can even extend this to them - you can forward this email - you can do it in a silent warm smile as you hand them a mug of coffee. Fresh start.

We can learn so much more from the goodness than we ever could from the misses.

With love,
Cass
