Mama always called me free spirit, sunshine and wild child.
And I lived into these names as long as I can remember.
Growing up I didn't have rules or curfews.
I was smart enough to get through school without ever doing homework.
I skipped classes, smoked w**d. There was no punishment.
And I don't even recall anyone suggesting I do otherwise.
As long as I can remember, I've done whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. And as you can probably imagine, this got me into trouble.
My last real 'job' was teaching yoga and folding clothes at lululemon 16 years ago. I'm not sure if they do it now, but back then they required their employees do journalling, goal setting and personal development stuff. It was cute.
BUT I hated rules. and schedules. and routines.
and doing the same thing every day. barf. awful.
I wanted to be FREE.
so I quit and I've been self-employed ever since.
But after a decade of wandering, I didn't feel so free anymore.
I was blowing where the wind took me...
Calling it surrender.
Calling it the path of least resistance.
That's when a powerful teacher came into my life and taught me that freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose—and commit myself to—what is best for me.
So I committed to my first 40 days of personal revolution with Baron Baptiste.
Two years later I did Aquarian Sadhana (4am kundalini yoga) for 40 days.
These 40 days forever changed my relationship to self-discipline.
They were the first time in my life that I consistently dedicated to ME, and kept the commitments I made to myself. It was the first time I prioritised -- on a daily basis --getting know to myself, intimately, beyond the body.
To say my self-worth increased is an understatement.
I unlocked new powers, deep self-trust and incredible confidence.
I'm starting another 40-day practice soon... think but more like
I'm curious to know what would be your 3 daily activities that you would do for 40days?
