Three figures prominently in my "superstitious acts".

When I set my alarm, it must be to a time ending in 3.
I tap things a lot. I tap doorjambs as I walk through, I tap my desk a lot and

I tap counters or tables as I pass by...three times.

I knock three times.

I take three breaths before I answer the phone or before I walk out of my office to meet someone.

When I'm making coffee, I tap the scoop three times to make sure it's empty before putting it away.

And I shake it three times before putting it away.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
