Greetings All -
IN YOUR REVIEW TODAY, review all of the instructions given in the past week and your experiences of practice. Take special care today to see how deeply and how carefully you are practicing. Make sure that you are not changing or adjusting the lessons to meet your tastes or expectations. Remember that you need only follow the curriculum to receive its true rewards.Your part is small. Our part is great. We give the means.You need only follow them, in faith and in
true expectation. In doing this, you will develop patience, discernment, trust, consistency and self-worth. Why self-worth? Because you must value yourself highly to allow yourself to approach the great gifts of Knowledge. Nothing else will undo self-hatred and self-doubt more expediently and more completely than receiving the gifts that are meant for you.

THEREFORE, IN YOUR ONE LONG PRACTICE PERIOD TODAY, review the past week of practice.Without judgment look and see what has been offered, what you have done and what can possibly be done to deepen your practice so that you may receive its benefits more directly. If you are having difficulty, recognize the problems and attempt to correct them. Give the week ahead greater involvement. In doing so, you will correct self-doubt and confusion merely by directing your will.
PRACTICE 42: One long practice period.

Meditation - Baseline - God - All stuff layered over it. Levels of noise, distraction, flotsam and jetsam → stay connected to the peace as legoland plays.
Almost poetic, but in my Steps the book is a diagram that may be useful.
