Will things be different this year?
This year things will be different. You will more successful than you’ve ever been this year. You will be the hero of your story this time. You love this feeling. Yet, in the back of your mind, you worry that you’ll fall into the same pattern. After all, how frequently have you tried to change?
You dream big. You expect things to change. Everything starts out okay. Then solely, you mess up, and soon enough, you are back to where you started. You may have read a 1000 self-help book, listened to the biggest guru, or heck, even subscribed to this newsletter in order to reprogram your mind. Yet, unless you truly heal from the root of the issue, you won’t get better. Unfortunately, you may need to move closer to the emotional darkness before you can tell yourself a different story.
The deepest dark is not the place where grace goes to die, but the deepest dark is the place where grace goes to be reborn. - Alexander Shaia
Going into the “darkness,” aka your emotions/memories/history, is critical if you want to improve your performance. Your emotions are an insight to you and how to be the best version of you. You can learn to channel it into something greater. You can learn about yourself. You can become who you want to be. If you don’t, you’ll likely hurt yourself and hurt others.
Here is a short system to start becoming emotionally aware:
What am I responding to?
What is my body trying to do?
What is the core emotion I’m feeling?
Happy, anger, sad, fear, disgust or surprise
An invitation
Take time this year to get to know your darkness. If you need help reach out.
I help ADHDish entrepreneurs, athletes, and executives turn stress, self-doubt, and distraction into focus, confidence, and fulfillment with no judgment, just evidenced-based strategies to increase your life’s bottom line. I turned insights from 20 years of experience as a psychologist, scientist, psychotherapy trainer, and organizational leader into a bespoke coaching/consultative service. This service not cheap. It’s not therapy. My time is very limited, given my busy practices. Yet, if you’re ready to stop wasting your time and money on life hacks to get past your bullshit to find the root of your issues and create a life bigger than you can imagine, put in your application to see if you qualify.

Another year, another set of resolutions, and for me, a new newsletter platform. Let me know what you think
