Lifelong practice, or lifelong learning, is the continuous, voluntary pursuit of knowledge and skills throughout one’s life for personal or professional growth, extending beyond formal education. It involves actively seeking new experiences, embracing curiosity, challenging oneself, adapting to change, and taking ownership of one’s development through both formal (courses, workshops) and informal (hobbies, conversations) means, ensuring relevance in a rapidly evolving world.
Objectivity, in this landscape, usually means not a “view from nowhere,” but “as independent of any one person’s quirks as we can practically make it.”
Listening to your body means paying attention to the signals your whole organism is sending, taking them seriously, and responding in a way that keeps you healthy and steady over time
Psychological “flow states” are much easier to enter and sustain when the underlying organismic flow is relatively harmonious and supported.
