Week 05 · Trust

Trust.

Week 5 of the journal asks you to stop steering. Trust is not a feeling you summon before a hard boule; it is what is left when the routine has been built and you let it run. These articles follow that idea in order: what you are trusting when it matters, what staying with the shot looks like, and what the body gives away afterwards. Read them in order the first time; after that, each stands on its own.
