Recall the pure joy of riding a backyard swing? Easy. Effortless. I remember pumping my legs to drive me higher, thinking that if I just pushed a little bit more I could somehow touch the clouds. Know that feeling?
The thing with swings though is that we are not so much swinging as being swung. Gravity does most of the work. Our job is to simply work with the wind, to stop holding back with our need to control the pace. Trying too hard sabotages speed. Trying becomes striving + striving undoes itself.
If there is one thing I learned in 2015 is that striving doesn’t work. Striving leads to eating the entire fridge to take the edge off. We are not built for striving. We don’t strive, we have already arrived. We are already everything. Our job is simply to work with the wind, sing with it’s lines + nature, to stop holding ourselves back with our thrashing struggles to go faster, to be perfect, to outperform the swing to the right.
If you’re anything like me (and to a degree, I suspect we are cut with a similar star-shaped cookie cutter, you and I), you’re extremely pumped about the start of the year. January is the perfect time to pause + hit the reset button + make all sorts of to-do lists. You are prepared to be blown away by all that 2016 has to bring. You are invincible.
Simultaneously, you feel roller coaster ride-type nauseous. Maybe you’re hunted by all those things that didn’t go according to plan in 2015 or perhaps you’re feeling like crap because you see yourself recycling the same resolutions you wrote in your 2015 New Years resolution.
I believe a life worth living is an easy life. It’s not supposed to be hard, though we can make it that way with limiting scripts + people-pleasing + failing to see ourselves as we really are: infinitely powerful beings, capable of reaching far beyond our wildest dreams.
Next week, to celebrate the 6th Anniversary of Life is Messy Bootcamp, I’m going to show you my down-to-earth process for mapping out what I truly believe will be THE year of miracles. No James Bond stunts or green smoothie potions. I’m talking about an honest peek inside my lifestyle design factory. And I’m doing it publicly for support + accountability + my own amusement, but mostly to inspire you to stop the glorification of over planning + start an honest quest to greatness.
I invite you to interrupt self-imposed correctional facility-type New Year rituals with a more sensible + stress-free practice. There’s a gentler way people. Get ready, to make 2016 a year of steady acceleration, a year of radical happiness. Who’s with me?
What To Expect Over The Next Couple of Days!
I’m kicking things off with five FREE workshops. Less teaching, more unlearning how to be RoboCop, so you can be gorgeously human, flawed + fabulous. Just gimme five days, I’ll give you a treasure map to be available for life’s magic!
Starting this Monday, January 11th + going until Friday, January 15th, I’m gonna be posting ONE WORKSHOP A DAY to help you go from New Year overachiever crazy pants mode (that we all know will only lead to eating the entire pint of Häagen-Dazs) to New Year happy like a hippo (a person who gets it done + even has time to watch a documentary on Netflix + close the office early on Fridays).
Here’s the drill:
• Day 1: Discover Your Super Power
• Day 2: Clarify Your Vision
• Day 3: Turn Your Dreams Into Reality
• Day 4: Get It All Out Of Your Head
• Day 5: A Trusted Calendar System
Applying the core Life is Messy Bootcamp principles, you will learn:
• How powerful you really are + how far you can reach + why it matters.
• How to design a life more suited for you.
• How to make room for your BIG audacious ideas.
• How to create an inventory of open loops + “incompletes”, so you can finally put an end to mental constipation.
• How to go from lightbulb to done with a simple to use calendar system.
Whether you decide to join us for an all new season of Life is Messy Bootcamp or not, these daily exercises will give you the basic framework you need to KA-POW, kill it this year + every single one after that.
