At the risk of sounding creepy, I can feel you rushing ahead right now.

Ok, maybe it's not you personally.

Maybe it's just the vibe out there.

Maybe it's the vibe in here.

Do you remember the last time you felt terribly lost?

I find there is a similar feeling whether I recall a time I was lost on a hiking trail or the times I've been lost psychically - like when I was a learning to be a mom and struggling professionally.

In those moments I feel desperation mixed with obsessive alertness. (Charming.)

Are you longing to hustle less? Rest more? Create space?

I've been feeling it too. And I think it's a calling for our times. An inclination toward something more true than the cult of achievement via maximum productivity.

How are you and those around you different than 6 months ago? How have surroundings or circumstances changed? How have you been asked to grow?

So how do you remember to remember?

Think back to other times you’ve made a change.

I’m sure you have lots of good tricks for this that have actually worked for you.

Here are a few ideas I’ve already collected from friends & clients.

Today I feel a little bit tired.

I used to argue with myself on days like this.

"You must be productive!"

Some days, this is how it is.

Because I am a recovering compulsive do-er, I'm now a big proponent of slowing things down.

But lest my encouragement for you to slow your roll go too far, today I am offering a reminder about the costs of waiting.

I am sharing a few practical examples for both life and work. Along with an invitation: How can you shift to more feedback and eliminate criticism?

Sometimes before I can explain my understanding I can feel something is true. I know feelings aren't proof. And the scientist inside me always wants to register some heavy doubts about this "feeling of truth."

But I've grown to trust these feelings of truth more and more.

It's been a while since I shared what books I've been reading. To be honest, my reading slowed down a bit and I had a lot of books in my queue.

But I've got some fresh momentum now and I'm excited to share!

I really, really enjoy that moment when I've landed on the "real" problem.

Humor me then as I suggest that it's not just more money causing problems...it's more life experience too!

Have you noticed yourself getting more (mentally) rigid as you age?
