Good morning from New York City. I have attempted to start this episode five times already and I’m tempted to give up but I’m forcing myself to stay still. This has been my go to strategy over the last two weeks. In case you hadn’t heard from past episodes or don’t follow me closely, I’ve started a new project and I’m very energized by it. I’m learning new things, but the tendency is to have a racing mind. So, I’m often very tempted to skip my morning practice and those are the days when I double down. I find myself saying to others and also to myself out loud when I’m alone, slow and steady wins the race.
Anyway, one of the things that I want to talk about today is this idea that outer order brings inner calm. Outer order inner calm was the title of a book I saw years ago and I’m thinking about it because one of the main things I’m tasked with right now is to create order. You know, when we are immersed in our lives, and getting by just fine, the temptation is to fail to zoom out. When we zoom out, we see things like our wills that are not done or our health proxy that have been on our list of things to do. Or things like changing our insurance carrier or changing the tires on our car – all of those things that we carry around in our head. Anyway, everyone has their own list, and the list can go on and on.
Friends say I live my life out loud. That’s because I’m a curious, adventurous person and, as an appreciator, I simply love to share what lights me up. Consider this is your invitation into my fun, multi-faceted world.
