I often hear friends lament they struggle with identifying what type of work they’d want to do if they had the freedom to do whatever they pleased they then proceed to share a list of meaningful activities they wish they had more time to do

we can spend a lifetime allowing invisible shoulds to drive our decisions, mistaking ambivalence for a fragile intuition and existential dread as a crisis bringing awareness to the ways we should ourselves allows us to make decisions from a place of self-trust moremyself.substack.com/p/should

the first moments, minutes, hours, days of getting started are the hardest. you're up against the most inertia with no reference points to prove it's a worthy pursuit but the longer you work at it, the more data points you collect, the more confidence you build, the clearer the path becomes

I've never considered myself an artist in any shape or form a result of holding my identities more loosely as of recent is that I got a random ping on Sunday that I want to express my parts (IFS) through cartoons. so now, I'm learning to draw cartoons turns out, it's really fun

when you're met with a difficult decision, rather than intellectualize your options, try each scenario on imagine your world as if you've chosen the path you're leaning towards. how does that decision feel in your body? our bodies know. tune into that subtle inner wisdom

this week's essay explores the fluidity of our identities: - adopting alter egos & building a wardrobe of identities - de-risking great ambitions through role play & experimentation - riding the learning curve & drawing inspiration from others moremyself.substack.com/p/role-play

"take the thought out of it" rather than rely on tomorrow me to have the motivation to figure it out, today me is almost always in a better position to set tomorrow me up to move straight towards action vs deliberation

many of life's most meaningful experiences are a blend of dualities: - moving to a new home: endings making way for new beginnings - building a business: faith in the face of uncertainty - running a marathon: endurance in defiance of pain

trauma in all forms keeps us out of connection with others. when we experience disruptions to an existing sense of safety, it's easy to put up a wall we mistake hardening ourselves as strength when courage is found in shining a light on the disconnection we feel

the negative reactions we feel are often a derivative of the emotion we're *actually* experiencing say you're mad at a friend which leads you to feel guilty for feeling that way the feeling of anger is intensified by feeling shame and thinking you shouldn't be reacting this way

we live under an illusion we *should* do things that are misaligned with what we want to do the next time you think, "I should do [xyz]," ask yourself who or what is imposing that should on you if there's no meaningful rationale, perhaps it's something you *should not* do it

we spend our lives wondering "why me?" when the more important question to ask ourselves is "why *not* me?" rather than viewing our aspirations from a lens of scarcity, thinking deeply about "why *not* me?" takes us beyond the limitations of our mind and anchors us in reality

✍🏼 this week's essay is a reflection on our modern diet: • the parallels of the dopamine-fueled content we feed our minds and the processed foods we feed our bodies • how the role of tech has metastasized in ways that warp our realities of what's healthy moremyself.substack.com/p/our-modern...

one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is freeing ourself from the notion that seeking outside counsel will guide us to the answers we’re searching for

a fun, unintended result of deepening my meditation practice is seeing consistent improvement in my HR & HRV during a 10-day meditation retreat: • resting HR: 48-53bpm avg → low 40s • HRV: 60-80ms avg → 145ms one night my Oura ring now picks up my sits as naps from drop in HR willld

earlier this month, I kicked off my first ever sabbatical, something that’s felt out of bounds for me I’d long bought into the belief it was the organizations we belonged to & titles we held that brought us closer to fulfillment and made us most legible to others
