Give Habits a Break

Hua Chi, a Buddhist monk, says 3000 prayers at the same spot each day in his temple.  While it's a good practice and habit for his meditative needs, where's the inventiveness?  Does he play when he's done? Does he ever walk or run while praying?

Consider daily routines you follow.  Do you brush your top teeth first before you shower, take the same route to work, put your right shoe on before the left?  Become conscious of your rituals and vary them.

Break the habit for a day. Pay attention to the details and write about your discoveries.

Invent.  Innovate. Imaginate!
