Question about foot adjustment during spins

Hi, everyone! I have a question about what the skating foot does during a spin.

I've noticed that when I enter a forward scratch spin, turn the three, and pull in to the spin and rise up onto my rocker, if I'm not perfectly on my rocker, my foot seems to make adustments in where my weight is until I find my rocker.

Then, during the spin, if I am coming off my rocker, I seem to make minor adjustments with where my weight is on my foot to get back onto the "sweet spot."

Is this okay, technique-wise, or is it a bad habit that I should break myself of right now?
