3 Big Ideas, Tips or Strategies for this week

1. Tiny Habit – If you pick the right small behavior and sequence it right, then you won’t have to motivate yourself to have it grow. It will just happen naturally, like a good seed planted in a good spot.

2. Inspiration Room – Your environment sets the mood and tone for you. If you are living in an inspirational environment, you are going to be inspired every day.

If there’s a room in your house that looks messy or dull, take it to the next level by putting on a new coat of paint, buying a few nice paintings for the walls, or investing in some comfortable furniture to make it a space that will always feel welcoming and inspiring.

3. Blind Spots – Scientifically, blind spots refer to areas our eyes are not capable of seeing. In personal development terms, blind spots are things about ourselves we are unaware of. Discovering our blind spots helps us discover our areas of improvement.

One exercise I use to discover my blind spots is to identify all the things/events/people that trigger me in a day—trigger meaning making me feel annoyed, frustrated, or angry. These represent my blind spots.

Once I know these triggers, I can identify ways to improve them or overcome them.

1. Confessions of a Spiritual Dickhead.

Hotchkiss, a one time fast-living New York fashion editor, chronicles his attempt to address a deep-seated feeling of existential unworthiness through assorted trendy modern means — ayahuasca, transcendental meditation, a shaman-led “soul retrieval” — only to discover that his spiritual seeking is itself a form of avoidance. When he finally chucks all the Goop-y stuff and gets to the heart of what’s really been bothering him, you catch a glimpse of something you don’t often see: an honest, open, humbled human being settling into an uneasy peace with his frail, flawed, but ultimately plenty good-enough self.

-develop a bias to contribute and create
-learn from the lucky and successful
