My whole life I have habitually fell upon my innate skillsets to tackle tasks and in turn have only attempted to do activities that I knew I would do well in. One reason I registered for this course was to break this comfort bubble that I have allowed myself to live in and lace my hands the other way. This thought presented in the reading struck me because it phrased the awkwardness of switching hand position as something to be valued. I have never really considered this approach to tackling things that are different and new. I often do not address the things that make me place the other thumb on top because it would make me uncomfortable, like making eye contact with others during partner dancing, or I would convince myself that it was "unnecessary"
