KūRated Care Collaborative

Expect the need to do things differently if the status quo isn’t working for you. Understand that KūRATED living looks different for everyone. Recognize we all need something a little different in order to be healthy. Sleep isn’t one of them. Sleep - dream - wake up - move mountains. Learn to say Hell Yes to the things that make you rise up, shake you, leave you awe struck and life drunk and then

share them. The No’s will follow naturally. Be strategic - life’s an experiment but remain open to serendipity; the best things in life are rarely planned. Ensure your gallery tells your story. If you don’t like what you’re seeing, start over. Do it now. Breath in life’s perfect moments. Your cellphone may be able to capture them but it sure as hell won’t remember you when you’re gone. Hug people hello. Go outside. Get dirty. When the world disappoints you, immerse yourself in nature. Grow something. Grow someone don’t shrink them based on your own insecurities. See the pain, feel it, thank it but don’t subscribe to the struggle. Allow yourself to be moved. Listen to your inner child. Play daily. See potential and abundance where others choose to see dis-ease and hardship. Be a breathless optimist. Invest in you first - the village will follow. Serve others but don’t live life through them. Give credit. Accept credit. Be a leader in parts of your life, follow in others. Revisit the rules you set for yourself often. Press pause. Listen to your bodies wisdom. Share good meals with good friends. The connections you build will keep you feeling full long after the meal is over. Expect your people to be fierce with their time, but generous with their heart. Do the same. Move your body; feed your brain. Respect the science. Trust century old knowledge. Failure is only failure when it doesn’t move you forward. Laugh at yourself, if you can’t laugh at yourself, someone else will gladly do it for you. Own the possibility and responsibility that lies in consciously choosing your behaviour from this moment forward. Give yourself permission to thrive. KūRATED living isn’t about a pristine house full with the smell of gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, home baked bread, white pants and puppies that don’t p*e in the middle of the kitchen floor. It’s not a place at which you arrive. It’s living life - awake. It’s an acknowledgement that progress trumps perfection and community is king. So long as each of us is making the moment to moment choices necessary to move us in the direction of health and happiness, we’re leaving our families, our communities and the world a better place than we found it. Your visions and values, food and friendships, sweat and tears give breath to meaning and magic, intention and impact. Choose consciously. Get KūRATED.
