The meditation today is about not doing things out of habit. The example they gave us was about a worker telling a boss that they are doing something because that's the way it is always done. I am not going to lie; I have actually said something similar to this to someone when I first started my job.
Prior to that conversation, I had already started trying to get my office in compliance with specific laws, rules, and regulations, but this time, it was all I could say. Not to make excuses, but my boss at the time had an anxiety issue and our office was very busy. I have since corrected the issue that was discussed in that conversation.
Once I was promoted, I started looking for ways to make the office more efficient.
The journal question:
What assumptions have I left unquestioned?
This is a tough one because doing things out of habit then becomes "autopilot" as I like to call it. We follow a routine and most often forget that we even did something. My home routines are because I am done for the day and not going out again. Asking myself if this is the best way to do things is not really applicable here. I am not sure what habits I can fix.
