5 Day I Love MY Life Challenge Day 5 copy

Hey, everybody. Welcome back. Welcome to day five. Welcome back. And welcome to day five of the I Love My Life challenge. I hope everybody had a good. A good rest and that you're ready to pick up where we left off yesterday. I am so excited to be here with all of you. I, I just sit in this seat feeling so, so grateful, incredibly blessed, and very, very lucky. And in just looking at the insights in the comments from yesterday, I can see that we're really making some headway. We're getting somewhere. This concept is more concrete now than it was when we started on Monday. And I promise you that each and every day that you consider this, that you think about it, that you feel into the space of, of what it would be like to actually love your life unconditionally, that there's the possibility that you could experience unconditional acceptance and unconditional happiness as well. Good morning, everybody. I see everybody's coming in on. On Facebook, so go ahead and tell my Instagram friends out there as well. Good morning. And I'd love for you to just go ahead and declare right out of the gate, let's get started in the right way. It's as though we just started. We just woke up. We're just putting our feet in the floor. So I want you to just go ahead and put in the comments. I'm waking up. I'm woke. I'm woke. I'm up. Whatever you want to say, but I love my life. I love my life. I love my life. Just go ahead and start that, that cascade, that stream of I love my life messages. It's a waterfall, a waterfall of love. I want to start today with a few of the insights from yesterday from day four. So today is day five, as we know. And. And I just love some of the things that we picked up in the comments yesterday. So, Helen McCourty. I think I pronounced that right, maybe, I hope. Here's what Helen said. The universe is calling me to recalculate my business relationships and finance simultaneously. I'm resetting. I'm resetting. I'm resilient, and I'm recharging. That's beautiful. Marcy. Marcy Germain says this resilience, I can do hard things. Double exclamation point. Way cool. Marcy. Shannon. Shannon Trestle said, when I think I need something new, maybe some new shiny object comes along. I have learned to ask myself, what resources do I already have? What a powerful question that that is, Shannon. What resources do I already have? Yesterday we talked about that. The key to reframing situations is to be able to find the creative opportunity to find the creative opportunity in them. Welcome, everybody. I see Shannon's on. That's fantastic. Good morning, Shannon. It's funny that you just popped on and I just read. Read your post. Pamela. Pamela Lewis. Love the quadrants of resilience. Looks like a formula for self care. Yes, absolutely is a formula for self care. I'm going to talk a little bit more about that today, Pamela as well. Nancy Sweeney wrote this. My job was eliminated. And I have been enjoying reinventing myself. Now talk about a great reframe right there. I'm enjoying reinventing myself. How beautiful. Pamela Lewis, another one. I am complete and whole by myself. My husband compliments me. He doesn't complete me. Wow. My partner compliments me, but doesn't complete me. He doesn't. He doesn't have to, of course. Says I had to complete myself before marrying him. That's so true, Pamela. So, and it is, it's interesting because I think in the media, in movies, in Hollywood, where we're sometimes taught or being programmed even to think that somehow, another, we will not be complete, that we will not be whole, unless we find that other person, that soulmate. We've got to find the soulmate within us. We've got to find our true soulmate to be. To feel the way we want to feel. You know, what is completeness? What is wholeness? You know, it's, it's. It's a concept. And to think somehow that we are broken or that we are incomplete without someone else doing that for us is. I think it's manifestly untrue. It's illogical. It's just a recipe for struggle. And it's too much. I mean, just put it that way, it's enough responsibility, and a difficult enough responsibility at that, to care for ourselves and a process that we're ongoingly learning. But to put that on someone else is just something that Randy and I long ago decided we were never going to do. We take care of each other, but we don't lean. We don't lean in that way on each other. It's our job to do that, to find that peace inside of ourselves. And then Tracy said. So today, my intention, and this is Tracy Burns, was to preserve the peace of. I've been feeling despite the attack on our capitol. In addition to the I Love My Life class today, I participated in a Yin yoga class. Virtually, of course. That's so cool, Traci. Yes. I truly believe, and I was thinking about that this morning as I was getting ready. And so much of this concept of loving, loving our lives, loving our lives, loving life is about creating peace. It's about finding peace within, within ourselves. I'm not, I'm not a huge, huge fan of the, of the word happiness. I mean, I get it. It's, it's something that we all use and have associated with that which we want in, in so many ways to say, I'm happy, I'm happy. I really feel that, that the, the great joy of our lives is when we find, when we find peace, when we're peaceful in our body, peaceful in our minds and peaceful in our, in our souls. And, and that's just something that I think is, is attainable. It's attainable for all of us to be seeking, seeking that out. And in this practice, what we started this week, what we've, we're going to complete our week today. So we've got this five, this is the fifth day. And of course we've got our book launch event this afternoon. And then, and then it's going to be, it's going to be you guys. I mean, the bottom line is this, this is just the start. It's just the start for all of us. Where you go with it, how you take this practice, what do you do with it, how you, how you evolve it and make it yours is, is the next step for all of you. I think the, the workbook is really helpful in this regard because it's another month. I mean, we all need practice, we all need support. I know I need support and I need the inspiration of others around me all the time. So that never ends. What I love about the book, about this workbook is it is divided up into four quadrants. We're going to talk a little bit more today about the four quadrants as well. But four weeks, it's 28 days. It's the power of resilience is week number one. Recover yourself is week number two. Come into your own. That's week number three. And the last week is grace. And so every single day, every day in this workbook, there is something that's inspirational, there are quotes, there is a bit of my own writing and my own experience and storytelling. And then it's a workbook, so it's designed to give you a prompt, give you something that you can do just the way we did this week for these five days, where it's experiential, where it's not just intellectual, it's not just, you know, reading a quote or reading something that I've written and thinking about it, even though those things are vital and important, but there's work for you to be able to do, ways for you to not only be prompted to challenge some of your thinking, to do something different, to create some new ritual around it, but a way for you to track it and assess it yourself and to write about it and have it as something that you may keep for a very long time. I know our publisher, when we were putting this together, our intention was that this would really be something that everybody could work on each and every month, and you could even, for that matter, get 12 of them, have one for every month of the year. Every single section also will have a QR code. And the QR code will lead to another resource that's entirely free. So every one of these resources is sort of a part of the whole process and, and is yours for the, yours for the, the using. And so the QR codes, I think, will lead you in a bunch of other really important but aligned directions. And again, there's, there's no cost to that other than just the, the workbook itself. All right, so let's pick up where we left off yesterday. We, we started to dive into what resilience is and how as a concept in the world today, it's probably the most important thing. I think Arianna Huffington in an article recently said that she believes that resilience is the word of the year. And I couldn't agree more, that we've got to develop our resilience now. We've got to develop our resilience, in other words, before we need it. Because there's one thing that I know, like I know my own name is Adam, and that is that we will be called to deal with challenge again in our business, in our personal lives, in our health, in any area that you could possibly think about. We will not be able to ride out the status quo. And, and, and I would say that we don't want to change is actually very, very positive. Disruption, even, is positive. I think where it gets, it is, is difficult for people is when it comes unexpectedly and when they don't have tools to be able to deal with the unexpected, with the unknown. And I gotta tell you, I am, I am still myself, training to be, to be so embracing of the unknown, to not see the unknown as something that is scary or something that is threatening. And that's something that we, again, is attainable as a way of our own growth as an individual, as well as our growth in leading others, in being a leader. Of our teams and the person that you're seeing on the screen right here, if you know who this is, I want you to go ahead and type it in the chat. Thank you so much. For somebody who says so wise, I appreciate that none of these ideas are new. Let me also just quickly say that too, that it's. It's like Socrates said, right? All learning is remembering. We know this stuff. It's just that when we hear something that makes sense, we're remembering something that's. That we already know to be true. It's inside of us. So I would say following that instinct, following our, our gut, following our heart, these are such important things. So many people in the world just don't trust themselves nearly enough. And I, I mean, maybe it's. It's fairly audacious to even say that, but I've worked and our company has worked with thousands and thousands of people over many years. I've been involved in this work for a long time and I've yet to find more than a handful of people that really, truly, honestly trust themselves. And that is part of the spiritual path for all of us. To be able to trust the universe, to be able to trust ourselves fully. That's the kind of peace that is inexplicable, right? The piece that, that we can't understand is so powerful. Now, the guy that you're looking at right here, I've given you a moment. If you know who this is, go ahead and type his name in the comments. I'll give you another second here. He became the performance director for British Cycling in 1998. And at the time that he became the performance director for that organization, British cycling had not won a gold medal in the Olympics since 1908. Can you imagine? Since 1908, they had not won a gold medal. They had never, ever won the Tour de France. The cycling team had never won it. So I suppose the technical term for this team at that time was they totally sucked. They were terrible. So this guy comes in as the performance director. By the way, his name is. I. I can't see. It's not there. Dave Brailsford. You're going to want to remember this gentleman's name, Dave Brailsford. He comes in in 1998 as the Performance director. And his whole way of approaching the team, a team that has not won, a team that is, is in the basement. His whole approach was to look at all the areas for improvement and rather than the conventional wisdom which would have been, and often is that when something is not working to the degree that this team was not performing and not working, you got to make drastic, big changes. Would you agree with that? I mean, that's just typically the case when something is so off, you've got to come in there, clean house, start over. And I think there's a lot of people who even look at their own organizations, their own companies, their own business, and if it's not working, they think they've got to do something really, really drastic, which we know, we feel that we've got to make a big change. It's like, feel it right now, what it feels like to make big change in some area of your life. Feel that right now. And we've all been there. It's it me. It immediately produces tension inside of us. Our cortisol levels rise. We start to feel that anxiety that something massive has to be done because things are not working well. But that wasn't Dave Railsford's approach at all. What he did was he came in and he looked and, and with his, with his team, figure out all the different places that they could make a tiny little improvement, even a 1% improvement, a marginal gain, a marginal improvement to something, something that Dave Brailsford started to refer to as the 1% factor. So he changed their uniforms because the uniforms have to be really aerodynamic. He. He was examining how the cyclists were sleeping, what their sleep habits were, what their other routines and other rituals were. He looked at things such as the box trucks that would carry the cycles. Check this out. The box trucks that would carry the cycles to the races. And he decided as an example, to paint the inside, the inside of the trucks white. Why do you think he wanted and chose to paint the inside of the trucks the color white? Go ahead and put that in the chat. If you guys see that now, if you, if you have a sense of what that might be, go ahead and put that in the comments. Why do you think of all the things that he could have done with a team that has not won a gold medal since 1908, he chooses to paint the inside of the trucks white. The answer. He realized that these cycles, they're, They're. They perform within. Within fractions based on the gears and how all the parts are. Are either aligned or are rubbing together. He was looking at where it is that there was friction. And inside those trucks, which were dark, he knew that there were things like dirt and dust and other things that were getting in the gears and bogging it down, making the performance just a little less than it could be. So he decided if he paints the trucks white, that the maintenance crews and everybody else could see with their eye that there was dirt. And then they could clean that dirt out of there and put the cycles in so the cycles could perform better. It's a tiny thing. It's almost insignificant. It's the kind of thing that you could never, in your mind, kind of rationalize why you would even spend time and money focused on those things. Except only a few Years later, in 2004, what happened to Dave Brailsford's British cycling team? They won two gold medals in 2004, two gold medals that had not been won since 1908. In 2008, they won more medals, more gold medals and more medals than any other team. At the 2008 Olympics. They've won six or seven Tour de Frances. They won 59 World Championships. Because what Dave Brailsford understood was something that we've been sharing for years as well, but in a different context. We talk about the pivot principles. And in the book that, that we. We had come out about three years, four years ago now was all about how you make small changes, pivoting, in other words, to be able to produce something new and, and different in your life. It's the exact same thing in business. It's the exact same thing in professional. In any activity, sports, professional activity of any kind that you can think of. My own brain is going well, music, any performance, art of any kind, any area of our relationships or our health, our finance. These are areas that we're often thinking that if they're not the way we want them to be, we've got to do something drastic. And what happens when we think that way, when we think that we've got to make drastic changes, is that fear arises inside of us. We get stuck, in other words. But what we've learned is that all you ever have to do is think about what's the 1% change? Because status quo is the enemy of performance. It's the enemy of excellence. Status quo leads to mediocrity, and then often that mediocrity leads to a certain death. It leads to a certain stagnation. And we've all felt what that's like. We hold on in so many ways to the status quo because it represents safety. It's the classic devil that we know versus the devil that we don't. So the only thing that we ever really need to do is to commit. As Dave Brailsford taught the British cycling team and organization. It was. It wasn't just the transformation of the cyclists themselves. It was the transformation of a structure, of an organization, of a philosophy, of a culture. If you want to create transformation in your life, whether it's in your finances, whether it's your business pursuits, your relationships, your health, we've got to give up the notion, the outdated notion that you've got to do something drastic. This is not about jumping ship or radical shifts or radical pivots for that matter. It's about making small changes, but making those small changes consistently over time. So my question to you, all right, now that I want you to answer this is what are the 1% changes? What are the 1% transformations, if you will, that you can make in those four quadrants that we talked about yesterday? Resilience is not purely physical. Resilience is mental, it's emotional, and yes, it's even spiritual. So what are those changes? What are those small, seemingly insignificant changes that you can make to elevate your performance in any area? Again, whether it's to do with your business or it's to do with your physical health, it's to do with your mental health, your emotional health, any of those areas. I know people have been commenting all week long about how there are challenges that we face. There's anxiety that's produced by those that we feel depressed at times. We all feel that way. All of us do. And what I'm going to suggest is that it's not a radical change that you need to make, but that slowly, over time, by committing to 1% changes, to that 1% factor, that you can in fact create transformation in your experience of living. That's again, what we talked about on the third day. We talked about the code of conduct on Wednesday. How is it that we, we produce the experience of living and being that we all want? That's a very intentional act, and it's done by changing our rituals. Remember yesterday we, we spoke about how performance athletes and executives, business owners and operators have one thing in common. They share this commonality of rituals, of developing rituals for their recovery. So I'm going to ask you right now, what are your rituals? My whole life can be sort of categorized as one ritual upon another. I believe the quality of our lives is very much equal to the quality of the rituals that we create for ourselves. Morning, afternoon, evening, literally starting the day, we, we talked about the waking ritual. The I love my life challenge is a waking ritual, but it's also a ritual that you use throughout the day when you need a reset. Those I am statements are resets. It's a ritual to use those statements It's a ritual to use declarations or affirmations. I start every day with my code of conduct. If you've. If you've created that code of conduct, remember we talked about those 13 statements. I experience gratitude today. I experience feeling peaceful and easy today. I know somebody had put in the comments that I was dating myself because that's an old eagle song. Yes, it is absolutely a peaceful, easy feeling. But you know what that feels like. You know what that is, would be, would be like. And the only way that for me, those things occur regularly, consistently, is that I have planned them out in advance. That's a ritual. It's a ritual to be grateful for things before they've happened. Remember we talked about pre. Visional gratitude before it manifests. You're already seeing it. You're already creating a vision for something in your life before it happens and being grateful for it. That's a ritual. What are the rituals that you have every day? You could be starting the day with something powerful, something healthy, something that's good for your body, something your body craves. Do you drink enough water? Find a green drink recipe? We've got green drink recipes we could share with you. They're easy. It takes an intention, it takes a commitment to want to put something good in your body to start the day, to not just settle for convenience, in other words. I mean, I know a lot of you already took the resilience assessment yesterday, and so you found that your scores are broken down into those four areas. Mental, emotional, physical, spiritual. Some of you aren't getting enough sleep. Some of you are spending too much time on your precious phone or your technology or. Or you're looking at those things at night and interfering with your body's ability to rest. There's a difference between sleep and rest. And so many people are not getting enough of either. But the rest is what's really key. The rest is what's really important. For me, I can tell you that most days, some point during the day, I'm going to sit with my feet up a wall and close my eyes for 20 minutes. As simple as that. You put your feet up a wall, as you can see in the picture right here, this lady down here, and you close your eyes, you put something dark over your eyes, and for 20 minutes, you just. You just lie there with your eyes closed. You can listen to a meditation. You can listen to something that is soothing to you, like from the Calm app or a 528Hz meditation of some sort of. There's so many things you can do in 20 minutes. Just close your eyes and allow yourself to rest. Allow the blood to flow to your heart, to your brain. Allow yourself to recover for 20 minutes. And that can feel like four hours. If I do that in the afternoon, I don't need coffee. I used to have to get through the day with coffee. 18 years that I practiced law, most of the time the afternoons were coffee or sugar or some other thing to help me to get through the day. I don't have to do that anymore. You don't either. But these are rituals that you create for yourself to start your day, rituals throughout the day. People all always ask me about productivity tips and things of that sort. You know, when I was a lifeguard all those years ago, as I said the other day, we worked up in the out in the stand for an hour and then we were down an hour. We were able to rest and relax and recover. That was the only way that we could be fully present when we were doing our job. We had people's lives in our hands. It was a life and death context. We had to be fully aware, alert, present, ready to respond to every change, every situation. We could not have done that nearly as well if we were exhausted. And exhaustion is an epidemic in our world. And since Covid's, you know, so many people I think have gotten more exhausted because there's almost no boundary between their home life and their work life. Creating rituals for when you. When you end your day, Rituals to create a weekend for yourself. What the heck is a weekend? Is anybody's weekend anymore? How do you unplug? These are things that you have to do consciously. Consider the possibilities. I love the Pomodoro technique. Very simple. You can go ahead and Google that or we can put a link in the chat right now about that. It's simply picking a time where you focus intently on one thing and then you stop for a period. It could be 30 minutes that you're focusing intently on one task, like writing. I'm writing another book, as we sort of speak right now. A book about explicitly about change and about becoming change. Proof. That's a book with McGraw Hill that'll be out in August. There's a discipline to writing, but I can't write for very long without losing my creative edge. So write for 30 minutes and then take a five or a 10 minute break. I took two walks yesterday. It is the science behind 20 to 30 minutes of walking, light walking. It's incredible. It reduces our heart rate. It helps with hypertension, it alleviates anxiety. It Allows our body to recover. It allows our body to go back to something called homeostasis, equilibrium. It reverses a lot of those chemicals, like cortisol, that are flowing through our bodies, that are depleting us. We've got to create these rituals now before we need them. We create our resilience now, before the next disruption occurs. Because when we're resilient, we're. We're at our best. Our world needs us to be resilient right now. And resilient people and resilient teams, they change the world because they have the capacity to go the distance. They go the distance where others stop or quit or just too worn out. So the ritual that we shared the other day, the code of conduct, I invite you, if you're not yet started, to create that ritual for yourself. Create that list of 13 experiences and start it. It's five minutes at the beginning of the day. That's all it is. Here's the thing about rituals, and I love a book that I'll just share the name of it called Atomic Habits. Great book about how it is that you create and break certain habits. You know, to me, I use the word rituals because I believe we have to ritualize to habitualize. But here's the thing. Start small again. Those 1% changes are so powerful, and Dave Brailsford knew that. Start small. Make it easy on yourself. Number two. Focus on being consistent. To me, the best way to be consistent is simply to schedule it. Schedule that. That thing that you want to do, whether it's yoga or it's quiet, time to meditate, Schedule it. Schedule your walk, schedule your. Your time to eat quietly, to eat silently, to chew your food, as our parents used to tell us. Schedule it. Because if you don't schedule it, it doesn't happen. At least not in my experience. Find an accountability partner. Find somebody that can hold you accountable, even if that just means checking in with you once a week or once a month even. This is a perfect group of people right now within this Facebook group, to find somebody to ask somebody to support you in this way, to hold you accountable, or ask the. Put it out there into the entire group right now. What are you willing to commit to? There's no way our life changes. We don't break the status quo by thinking about it, by looking, looking at it, by grasping a concept purely on the intellectual level. We have to move into action. That's always the way of the universe. We pray and move our feet. As the saying goes. We have to be in action or nothing. Changes or nothing worthwhile lasts. There's the status quo again, is insidious. We have to stay in moment, in momentum. It's a law of physics that bodies that are in motion tend to stay in motion and bodies that are at rest tend to stay at rest. So here's my request. It's the call to action for today for you if you choose to take this up. In fact, I'd love it if you would do it right now. Even if you know, and I think that you can check in with yourself right in this moment, in five seconds you'll have an answer to many of these, to many of these questions. And the question is, what's one change? What's one 1% change that you're willing to commit to in each of these four areas? We call this the recovery map, your resilience recovery map. What's one thing to produce more mental resilience for yourself? Mental recovery for yourself? What's one thing that you could do that you could add into your way of doing things that would create emotional recovery? What's one thing that you could do physically to recover each day to create rest or other, other ways in which your body can recover? What's one thing that you can do to create a spiritual recovery for yourself? Again, to me, I don't tie religion to that word anymore. The spiritual aspect of your resilience is, is the alignment that you feel. So many people, when they take our resilience assessment, will answer the question about what they're committed to, their highest values, and find that there's a disconnect between those values, the things that they most value in life, and what they're actually doing with their time. Not necessarily what their job is, not necessarily what their career or their business is. Often there's an alignment there, sometimes there's nothing. But it's what they're spending their time doing that's misaligned. So right now, what's one thing that you can do in each of these four areas? I want you to go ahead and just in an instant put that in the comments. Are you willing to commit to scheduling a walk out in nature for 20 or 30 minutes each day? Are you willing to commit to a 5 or 10 minute stillness practice in the morning? Are to you willing? Are you willing to commit to making yourself a green drink or drinking a sufficient amount of water each day? Are you willing to commit to maybe not watching TV at night instead reading a book or not watching TV before bed? And instead consider looking at your code of conduct and seeing how you experienced your day for that day. Are you willing to commit to these small changes? Getting more sleep at night, whatever it looks like for you, the things that you know you can change. Are you willing to commit to the tiny change to begin with? That's the recovery map. And so I can tell you right now that resilience is something that produces a dividend in your life as well as in, in, in your business, in, in the work that you do in the world. Resilience will produce a consistent benefit and roi. And it's simple enough. Three things. Become adept and comfortable at regularly reframing what's going on in front of you. Don't allow your eyes to deceive you. We have five senses for a reason. Many people don't check in, don't check in with their body, don't sense what's happening inside their bodies. You have to check in. Reframing is about your ability to find the creative opportunity in things, not just taking things at their surface value. You watch the news, you're going to get things pretty much at the surface value. I watch the news. It's not like I'm burying my head in the sand. I just don't watch a lot of it. Randy and I don't consume as much of that as we do other things. So your ability to reframe is key to your resilience, your ability to reset, to find that when you're lost, when you're, you've made a mistake, when you're just feeling that your energy has dropped for some reason, you know, you know when that, that feeling comes over you that you have a, a way, a method and a capacity to reset. And that I am statement is a great way to do it. I love my life as a mantra is a great way to do it, as a statement to reset, to sort of, we'll call it an attitude adjustment that you give yourself at any moment in time. Again, I'm not saying that negative feelings or negative emotions or those feelings that we don't even have to call negative, but are just low energy thoughts and feelings. I'm not saying that they're bad. I'm not judging them. There's no judgment here. I, I think it was Michio yesterday that pointed out that the positive and the negative are yin and Yang and yin and Yang are, are the symbol for harmony. So the harmony between those two things is what we're talking about. I think so many people lean to one extreme or the other, and mostly it's the extreme of what's negative, what's wrong, what's missing. And that does not produce resilience. So harmonizing those emotions is really a part of this ritual of successful living. And lastly, we've got to know that regeneration is the key, meaning that we've got to recover. That's what resilience is all designed to do. It is to produce a recovery the way athletes recover and then perform at higher and higher levels. Resilience will pay dividends for you, for your organization, for anybody that you are involved with, whatever that looks like. Some of you are solopreneurs, some of you are working for other people. It's going to improve your health. It's going to improve the quality of your life in so many ways. It lowers burnout, it increases energy. And everything, as we said yesterday, everything is energy. You want to produce a new result in your life, you've got to raise your energy in order to do that. And then you've got to commit to these things and keep to them, because consistency is the key. Now, if you haven't yet gone ahead and taken the resilience assessment, please feel free to do that right here. Resiliencerank.com you just go to resiliencerank.com and in three minutes you're going to find out from each of those quadrants where you are either tracking in a healthy, productive way or where it is that you might be missing something, where something could be improved, in other words, where you could be doing something differently. And this is a powerful tool for you. It's entirely free. There's no strings attached. So take advantage of that if you have not yet done so. So today I want you to continue, I hope that you'll continue to post your I love my life declarations that your intentions, your blessing. Remember we said earlier in the week, bless that which you want. Share an ILML moment. Those pictures and the things that you guys are sharing are magnificent and they're also inspirational to others. So they're great for all of us to see. See you in your joy. It's not easy. I think it was Brene Brown that said that that's one of the most difficult things for people is to be seen in their joy. It's much easier to be seen in your pain, but to be seen in your joy. That's what we want to see. So show us what. What does your ILML moment look like? Does it doesn't mean that everything is, you know, perfect. It just means that you're appreciating everything you're appreciating your life and being alive because it's sacred. So think about what your morning rituals can be. Brainstorm. Use this group to run things past people. Perhaps find an accountability partner in this group right now. Or ask someone in your some other area of your life to check in with you to help you to create your recovery. Map those four areas that one simple change, that 1% change that you can commit to in each of those areas. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. This is so powerful and so important. And I absolutely feel that the questions that you guys have about these things are so vital. And so I'm going to continue and our team is going to continue to monitor this group. In fact, I would love it if all of you would refer this group to five or ten other people and let's grow this group. Because one of the things that I think is possible is that we all decide. I mean of course we would love for you to buy the book, that's obvious. It's I think a wonderful resource, a 28 day workbook. But I also think that if we're doing it together, if you've got support from others, that that takes the power of this process even further. And so I would love it thinking about the the month of February. There happens to be 28 days in the month of February. This is a 28 day interactive workbook for change. Get a hold of the workbook, refer it to other people, get other people or at least introduce them to the idea that joining this Facebook group and picking up this workbook might actually help them to create some positive, lasting change in their life. And then let's support one another. I commit that in the month of February I will be in this Facebook group on a weekly basis. So there are four sections to this workbook. As I said, the power of resilience, recovering yourself and what that means coming into your own and grace. And each week I will come into this group, interact, share if there's insights that I've got to share or life experiences that I think are relevant. And it can be like a book club where you are all not only sharing your own experience of going through each of these daily practices, but that you're also helping other people, supporting them where they fall down, helping them and inspiring them. That's the highest calling for us, coming together as a community, starting this conversation and then most importantly, keeping the conversation going. If you've not yet already registered for our event tonight, 4:00pm Pacific Time. This is the book launch event, the I Love My Life challenge book launch event. Family. It's friends. There's going to be some, some interactive activity. There's going to be some other beautiful things that are happening that I think are being cooked up and I don't even know about them. It's wonderful. I think some of our family, our kids are going to speak and of course you'll get to see me probably break down and cry, which is, you know, always fun. If you'd like to set up a private call with me or another member of our team to talk about your 2021 plans, the web roadmap for you to love your life in 2021, feel free to do that at any point in time. TeamDommarkel.com for a short call, 15 to 30 minutes. We sometimes like to call them exploratory or ideation sessions. We help people in a variety of ways and I'd love to be able to incubate or help you to incubate how it is that you will love and have something in your life to really hold on to and love this year. There's so many things that we're all capable of. I think we all have greater capacity than we ever fully imagined. And sometimes it just requires someone else looking at us to tell us the truth about ourselves. I don't know about you, but often, often I think we lie to ourselves. I know I've lied to myself plenty in my life if I'm being entirely truthful about that. But the universe knows the truth and we are all members of that club we call the universe. We're all divine beings and when we see each other, I think often we reflect the truth. So today I want to remind you again of your waking ritual. How many of you woke up today? If you woke up today, I want you to go ahead right now and put it in the comments that I woke up or you're in the process, even right this moment of waking up. Go ahead and put that in the comments, please. And if you didn't yet find something that you're grateful for, I want you to go ahead and put that in the comments. What are you grateful for right this moment? I know for me and for our More Love Media team Deanna, Randy, Chelsea, we are grateful for you. We are grateful for all of you. We're grateful for your commitment. And it takes a village to do these things. I mean, our team are outsourced partners and people that support us in everything that we're doing are all over the globe. It takes a village to do these things. I don't want to mislead you to think that somehow or another this is anything that I could do myself or that even a few people can do. This is something that requires community. The solutions to the most important challenges of our life are all impacted by coming together, by community. At that level, at that grassroots level, we change things, but we've got to model that change inside of us. Us being a model for loving ourselves, for being unconditional with ourselves, unconditionally accepting, unconditionally loving. That model is the way that we affect change. I mean, it is Gandhi's famous line, be the change you want to see in the world. It's true. There could be almost nothing more true than that. It starts with us. So if you've not yet found something to be grateful for, do it now. Declare it out loud. Say, I love my life right now. I love my life. I love my life. I love my life. Go ahead, put it in the comments and keep sharing it. Let's grow this community. Let's grow this movement. And most importantly, I want each of you to commit to just loving your life. Not looking at anyone else's, not comparing, not thinking somebody else has it better than you or that life is unfair. Yes, there's shitty things that happen in all of our lives and things that we cannot reconcile or make sense of. But this is our truly, our only gift, the life that we've been given. And we get it every day that we're blessed to be able to wake up again. I love all of you. I. I know this. This is one of those moments where you go, how did five days go by? How did five days like this just whisk by? But I hope I see you at the event this afternoon. You can go to the ilovemylifechallenge.com website to get the book, and I'd love to see you ongoingly in February, week after week, digging into the challenge and of course, sharing it with as many other people as you think would really benefit from them from it. So happy Friday, everybody, and happy new day and happy I love my life moment right now. Ciao, everyone. We'll see you soon. Hope to hear from you. Bye.
