This Monday 1st June you can join me and 100+ people (I KNOW!) in 30 daily prompts designed to help you evolve better instincts in the middle of mess and stress.
So why the heck should you want to do this?
I came up with 30 reasons - one for each day. :)
1. Climate/social justice is a wildly interconnected, messy, mind-boggling situation.
We need better instincts when looking at these chaotic, volatile systems so we don’t take simplistic, harmful actions. Finding a way for everyone to be free of the hellscape that white patriarchal capitalism has created is not something that can be put on a fridge magnet.
2. Better instincts come partially from good input.
We focus on seven different aspects (or really six-plus-one) that widen the store your instincts come from. Each day there's something new to allow in.
3. We'll practice other ways of knowing things - not just from the head.
Our gut, heart and background knowing are important too.
4. It’s free.
Hello?
5. You get a cute printable journal (if that’s your kind of thing).
6. You get a cute printable poster to orient you (if that’s your kind of thing).
7. You get a tracker chart to tick off each day so you can see your progress through the month (if that’s your kind of thing).
8. There is a short weekly reflection questionnaire.
I’ll share the edited results so you can find out how others are doing.
9. This is the only time I have clear plans for us to do this as a cohort (rather than just self-study).
There’s a power in knowing you’re part of 100+ others doing the same thing at the same time.
10. Each prompt takes less than five minutes to digest.
11. You can listen to or read the daily prompt.
12. There’s a two-sentence tl:dr version of each daily prompt.
For if you really don’t have the time/energy/spoons to read or listen.
13. Once you’ve gone through the 30 days once, you can easily design your own cycle.
I’ve got a plan for us to pool our ideas about other prompts that would be useful, so you can keep it going if you find it useful.
14. I’m going to be sharing my reflections as I go through this process for the first time.
I hope that’s a benefit?
15. Each of the daily aspects we cycle through have been chosen specifically to relate to aspects that evolve in transformative leaders.
16. You get guidance on different methods to remember be aware.
Life and our mind are both really good at distracting us from being conscious, so in order to remember to be aware during the day, we need tricks and tactics. I’ll share a bunch and you can see what works.
17. You don’t need to change your day at all.
The prompt gives you a background focus for the day, but doesn’t require you fit anything else into your day (apart from the less-than-five-minute prompt.)
18. It’s nice to have someone else tell you what to do for a bit?
I mean, you're always making the decisions, right?
19. You’ll be helping to improve this for people in the future.
This is a pilot experiment, so all your feedback is like an investment in future people’s wisdom.
20. You can go really in-depth if you want.
You could use the prompts to do some full-on reflection and writing, if that’s where you’re at. Just because they don’t need much time to read/listen to, doesn’t mean you can’t go deep.
21. It’s not going to add to your overwhelm. It’ll help.
By expanding your capacity to hold more complexity.
22. It could be a great thing to do as a team.
Let your colleagues or friends know and you could all sign up and set up a WhatsApp group or whatever as an accountability group, or have some regular Zooms to process what you’re noticing.
23. You can download the audio and have it on your device.
So you can re-listen during the day (or if you repeat the full 30 days again).
24. The prompts are in ordinary language.
No jargon here.
25. There’s no catch.
I’m not building up to sales pitch!
26. It’s a way of building a habit.
27. You don’t need any background in adult development/leadership theory.
I’ve built all that in for you.
28. This is a queer, trans-led project
Er, hi! Worth saying.
29. If it’s not for you you can just ignore the emails.
Or unsubscribe if you’d like to never hear from me again!
30. The next 30 days are doing to happen anyway.
You might as well invest in Future You.
