In the Historical Highlights piece, I showed Spiritual, Moral, Physical, Metal, Emotional, Personal, Relational, Occupational, Professional, Cultural, Environmental, Social, Financial, Political, and Reinforcement practice to help you have a dynamic view of Quoth. Here each practice were described (some were extracted from Wikipedia) in brief below based on my personal views - note that each practice could be described in many context because of their chance on multiple views. They will give you an opportunity to think about how you could do them.
