It amazes me how many times over the last few years you have posted on a subject that I needed right at that specific time. I am usually able to sustain a pretty high energy. I am always on the lookout for something positive I can do and someone I can encourage. Leave good energy and positivity in my wake. The last couple of days has been hard. Even last night, my gratitude practice through my usual loving-kindness meditation at bedtime wasn't enough to cut through the noise. My brain was exhausted, but my body wouldn't sleep.
This:
👉 “What do I need in a larger sense to be where I want to be?"
This is not to be confused with the question" What do I need to FIX in order to move FORWARD," as I posted about the other day on LinkedIn.
Sometimes we need more sleep.
Sometimes we need less noise.
Sometimes we need to say no to something that has put a constant flowing tap on our energy. That does not mean we need fixing. It is simply mindful maintenance that we have been neglecting.
Great discussion points David...our dear friend Mark also has some ways to improve this with his Project 14.4 in utilizing the 1% of our daily time. I like your ideas and we do need enough sleep and focus! Quest well!

"That does not mean we need fixing. It is simply mindful maintenance that we have been neglecting." Boom! Exactly.
This Ikigai thought is a keeper. It’s so easy to feel drained and so hard to get out of it.
Interesting, thanks, David :)
You are most welcome. 🙏🏻

Yes the 1% improvement is a game changing approach. Maybe instead of Quest well I should say...rest well to encourage sleep. 😴
Great thought processes.
