An Unexpected Adventure (Rewild Your Well-being, Part VI)

Have you ever made a decision to venture out of your comfort zone and then spent tons of energy to prepare yourself for it, only for plans to change? That’s exactly what happened to me a few months ago and today’s post is about preparing for an experience and what to do when it all goes awry.

You know how it works. You have an idea of a something monumental you really want to experience and you tuck it in the back of your mind. Maybe it’s a place, like visiting the Taj Mahal, or a natural phenomenon, like witnessing the northern lights. Sometimes, it’s an activity, like running a marathon.

I find as I get older, it’s about doing the things I always wanted to do – while I still have the capacity to do them.

The Freedom of Letting Go (Rewild Your Well-being, Part IV)

Every creative project begins with a process of gathering materials, ideas and inspiration. We can think of our lives as immense creative projects filled with gathered resources: beliefs, routines, objects, obligations and experiences.

It’s been my experience that the most important part of living a creative life isn’t in the gathering—it’s in the sorting. Without a willingness and a process to sort through what we’ve collected and discard what no longer fits, our life masterpiece remains hidden beneath the weight of it all.

Have you ever felt a sense of being out of sync? A feeling that even though you’re working hard and pushing forward, your energy is low and your efforts feel strained? That feeling of friction may be trying to tell you that you’re working counter to seasonality and the natural rhythms of your life.

The Antidote to Midlife Malaise (Rewild Your Well-being Series, Part II)

Have you ever felt a sense of quiet dissatisfaction? A feeling that after years on a well-defined path, your life has become too predictable, too routine, or you’ve lost a bit of your spark?
