Whether I’m pulling out a pencil and notebook in preparation for a lecture. putting my feet on a trail, taking a deep breath to gather my thoughts before I begin documenting a procedure, or taking a deep breath before walking into a conference room. Knowledge only transfers into real life when I lean into the embodied practice of it. And it’s only in the application that I truly learn how to be useful.

Even knowledge acquisition isn’t effective unless I can find it in myself to sit still and focus.

Physiology first.
