We like to take action.

It gives us a sense of agency over our life, right?

It makes us feel like we're in control.

However, I think the gentlest way to actually learn about yourself and your experience and figure out how, to your point, John, we can feel safer and

in our life without all of these defense mechanisms all this armor on is through being curious about our experience and what's coming up for us just start tapping in i find when we're really struggling we're the most disconnected from self we talked about autopilot or i'm just letting other people make choices for me i'm not participating actively and

journaling for me has been life changing and if you don't know what to write i encourage you first of all you don't have to read it back it doesn't have to make sense it doesn't have to be spelled properly it doesn't have to be legible i'm left-handed my penmanship is terrible it doesn't matter but we're gonna just jot down

at least two or three things you're grateful for.

It could be the breath in your lungs.

It could be a roof over your head.

Make them different every time you journal.

But then just start writing or even tell me what you're excited about.

What are you looking forward to?

Is there a goal that you have?

Let's pretend it's already happening and let's get in there.

I think starting to open up a conversation with ourselves in writing is the gentlest way to

learn about yourself to get back in touch with who you are and to then if you feel so inclined to then decide what those micro steps are those little habits that you want to maybe shift or change but first we have to get to know ourselves be a little curious not judgmental about who we are and where we're at

Ooh, first of all, I just love the phrase passion struck.

I think for me to be passion struck means that I'm living in alignment with my values in a place of excitement and enjoyment for life.

It's honestly what I strive to be all the time struck by passion.

What a great way to live your life.
