Gosh.

Time Management is my Achilles Heel.

Speaking of Achilles Heel.

I have a terrible pain in my heel since yesterday.

Walking today was painful and slow.

During my walk, I was with this question...

How do you balance all the different parts of life?

  • Responsibilities and commitments
  • Parenting and partnering
  • Self-care, house care, care care
  • Work, money, passion, hobbies
  • Playing, being, working
  • Time in nature, time alone, time with the kids, time on the screen

But, behind that, my deeper questions were:

→ How is life so busy?

→ How did I get so busy?

→ What else is possible?

My pain is that I cannot continue doing all these things.

Not without lying to myself or to others.

Not without undesirable consequences.

Oh, pain has its way of bringing us into presence and reminding us that we're alive.

There are 4 kinds of pain:

1) Mad, 2) Sad, 3) Glad and 4) Scared

Your pain is the fuel that catalyzes change and transformation.

Your pain is fuel for the change you want in your life.

What do you want?

What do you want there to exist in the world?

Who do you need to become to have that exist in the world?

Hey, my weekly support and empowerment team is starting next week. We focus each week on one team member's projects. Reply "teamwork" to this email, and I'll send you the details. Ok, let's be blunt. Humans have feelings and emotions. You can stop hiding now. Humans are way more irrational and unreasonable than we like to think. → The way that we buy stuff... → The way we choose our partners... → The way we make friends... → And just generally the way we make decisions... These are all...

You are carrying seeds of regenerative culture… You are building cool stuff… You are either in the design phase… Or you are actively experimenting with your design… You want to collaborate with others… A support team to help you build this thing… A core team to create a regenerative ecosystem… You’ve learned that doing it by yourself is not regenerative. You might be facing challenges with:- Navigating emotions within yourself and the team - Burnout, discouragement, fatigue - Going in...

You can only be in one of two teams: 1) The looking-good team, or 2) The learning team. You cannot be in both. Learning requires NOT looking good. Imagine trying to learn to play guitar but you're not willing to make mistakes. Learning starts with being with your incompetence. Learning that you are incompetent can be terrifying. It can trigger your box defence mechanisms dedicated to: Maintain the status quo Keep things normal and unchanging Maintain the image you have of yourself Maintain...
