The Prevention Rhythm

*El mejor error es el que nunca ocurre.*

After the World Cup, after the "First Slip" stories, we all talk about recovery. But what about the quiet work that keeps us from falling? What about the spreadsheets, the checklists, the small habits that feel like nothing until they're the thing that saves us?

In my life, it's the Sunday morning budget review. In yours, it might be a five-minute check-in with your team, or a nightly walk that clears your head before the next day's decisions. Prevention isn't about fear—it's about rhythm. It's the steady beat that keeps the music playing.

Three rhythms to try this week:

The 5-Minute Morning Scan: Before you open your email or check your phone, look at your top three priorities. ¿Qué necesitas hoy?
The Weekly "What If": Spend 10 minutes asking: "What could go wrong next week?" Then write down one thing you can do to stop it.
The Sunday Reset: Like my carnitas tradition, make time to pause, reflect, and prepare. La preparación es amor.

Why This Matters

We live in a galaxy of uncertainty. But the best way to face it isn't with panic—it's with a plan. When you build these small habits, you're not just avoiding mistakes. You're creating space for joy, for creativity, for the things that make life worth living.

So this week, I invite you to find your prevention rhythm. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.
