Look at the vertical line of the sword.
Bring to mind one situation where you have been hesitating, overthinking, or allowing something to remain unclear.
Feel both feet on the ground.
Straighten your spine.
Ask yourself:
“What do I already know about this situation?”
Wait.
Don't search for the perfect answer.
Notice the first clear truth that remains when you stop arguing with yourself.
Now ask:
“What needs to be decided, said, stopped, or done?”
Choose one.
Bring one hand vertically in front of the center of your body for a moment, echoing the straight line of the sword.
Silently say:
“This is my line.”
Then lower your hand and take one slow breath.
Ask yourself:
“What is the next action?”
