Today’s world is simply TOO MUCH, everyone is beginning to feel it, why?
The Problem
In a nutshell, …. Too much, too fast, from multiple directions and multiple sources on multiple levels. Today’s life can be accurately described as a blitzkrieg of stressors.
To process and deal skillfully with this onslaught requires a very integrated person with significant inner evolution and resilience.
They need to have a well-developed intellect as well as emotional intelligence. Adequate stable income, positive supportive social connections, family, friends, tribe.
They need sharp clear cognitive coping strategies and a well-defined personal value system for decision making and rapid change. And of course, good health and physical fitness.
Ok, fine.
How many people do you know that fits that description? Very few if any at all.
So, what to do?
A Solution Formula
You cannot change yourself to suddenly fit the profile above, that is impossible. It takes decades to develop such a person.
What you need is an actionable plan that really produces change.
Focus on two things.
First, you must make the time to do a comprehensive self-assessment of your abilities, both strengths and weaknesses. Be BRUTALLY HONEST.
For example, how good are you at the cognitive skill of re-framing? Do you know what it is? If not, list this as something you must study and adopt right away.
How in tune are you with your emotions? Can you successfully change emotional states when you want to? For example, if you feel dumpy and tired, can you use your breath and posture to fire yourself up? If not, you need to learn that one.
How are your finances, are you safe, secure or is the future uncertain?
What is your current level of health, and how fit are you? Do you have an exercise/activity to engage your body and keep it fit? If not, make one now.
How about social support? Do you have Family, Friends, a Tribe, do they really care about you? Can you count on any of them? Can anyone of them count on you?
How about your personal values, do you know them? Do you live by them now? If not, why? Your values are your anchor and represent your actual character. Always cultivate your values through your decisions and life choices. If you do that you will have power, if you don’t, you will have compromise.
Once this analysis is completed you know where you are in time and space. That has true value and provides you the foundation for resilience and adaptability.
Self-knowledge is wisdom….. All else is data.
Now, for the second half of the formula:
You must begin the process of selectively deleting from your daily life all unnecessary forms of stress, complications, drama, and busyness.
You must simplify your life down by the process of elimination until what remains are the behaviors, activities, and people that align with your CORE VALUES and enhance your happiness, success, and health rather than drain it away.
At first it sounds easy, but it’s not. Why? Because of attachments and various stories, because doing this will take you out of your comfort zone, and it can also appear that you are somehow becoming less.
However, the reverse is the truth, you’re becoming more.
Realize this fact.
The world is now changing at an exponential rate on the science/technology/AI front. Nothing can stop that. By the end of 2026, everything now will be utterly different.
If you do not change now and remain the same, what do you think will happen?
Dinosaurs couldn’t adapt to the massive climatic changes that occurred and quickly became extinct. Don’t let that happen to you.
In today’s arena the way out is not by expansion, but by going inward, simplify and deepen the quality of your life and experience, as opposed to acquiring more, doing more, having more, needing more.
That no longer works. Start now and make this a process to last the rest of your life.
