Taking inspiration from @Jon Dawson's post about what we're working towards for the week with some of his prior reflective prompts: 1) What am I working on this week? 2) What action will I take? 3) What is holding me back? 1. What I'm working on? Practicing reading/presenting final scripts aloud for mindful self-leadership course. 2. What actions will I take? There's 10-modules (about 4,000 words per module) in the course, so I'm breaking it up into 2-3 modules per day for practice. 3. What is holding me back? I've had some hesitation around continuing to edit or refine parts of the scripts for continuity and flow, where I start to question my credibility in the information and delivery of the content. Feeling like I could add more or go deeper. I had a supportive coaching session with @Reko Vitae last week that has helped me ground in authentic energy. We quickly got to a theme thru a limiting context/belief I hold ("I have to show my value/worth in order to connect with other people") and created a short mantra that has stayed with me across social and professional settings ("Standing in my ancient wisdom"). Holding that in my awareness, I've maintained connection to my intuition to know what feels true to me in moments of hesitation, whether it's with work/writing or social interactions. Curious if there's anything you all are working towards this week? Cheers

Project - eLearning mindful leadership course for corporate environments Measurement - Have an online mindfulness course available for purchase that is catered to corporate leaders. Timeline - Iterated target date from March 31st to May 31st. After realizing I was placing my value outwardly (on other people's perspectives) instead of what I believe in and value for myself I expanded the scope and increased the quality of production to play for a bigger impact. Next Milestones - Edit Ad Scripts - February 17th - Finalize content scripts - March 1st - Film content videos and ads - March 10-12th - Post insights weekly on LinkedIn - March 1st - Finalize web/sales page - April 30th - Launch email and ad campaign - May 14th - Launch course on own webpage and course site - May 31st How it's been going - From a project progression standpoint it's been moving along with momentum. I've had weekly goals that I've been meeting as I am collaborating with an editor and sales copywriter on the content and sales page. The adjusted timeline stayed in place for the last two months and we've been executing on each milestone. I've seen when I work with others, I place more significance on accountability. Which I'd like to cultivate more on my own when not working with others. From an experience standpoint I feel constrained - that I put a lot of pressure on myself to appear knowledgeable and credible to others, lacking trust in what I do create (written or in interactions around the mindful self-leadership topics). Feeling like I could add or contribute more. This has been an edge of growth for me and where I use a lot of energy in rumination/post-reflection which disconnects me from new creativity. Declaring items "complete" has been helpful closing the loop a bit here and I've felt more like I'm creating with a natural rhythm after acknowledging something complete. Reframing the project as a continued experiment has also fueled some strength to view myself as the creator of the experience.

Something that arose for me over the weekend was a desire for consistency. In that spirit, I have harvested the following 3 prompts that I will be utilizing to set my project into motion: 1) What am I working on this week? 2) What action will I take? 3) What is holding me back? Join me in this inquiry.

Wind rustles the leaves of tall poplars hidden under the towering overpass Wild bramble erupts to reclaim the spaces of Forgotten Purpose Wind pulls at hair and clothing on the bridge above waterways that open to the ocean These trees, shrubs and brambles are the green blood that finds a way to thrive here and refuses the artificial boundary that is this concrete The wild refuses containment It will probe by root, rot and rodent Time is not their concern Just this land, this sky, this sun and this water ----- Written this past summer.
