Joys of the learning curve...
On Sunday, I wrote you all a beautifully worded and succinct overview of the 10 things I would start with for building a healthy and self-sustainable lifestyle. It was a collection of concepts and actions I WISH I had started with from the beginning, and have since had to halt other progress to focus on so I could move forward. Some were lifelong habits and mindset shifts, others were the starting point for a bigger lifestyle shift.
And just as I was about to post it, it went POOF! and disappeared. In hindsight, it was probably a bit long.
So I will be sharing them this week in smaller nuggets. Each of the ideas will be fleshed out into more involved trainings in the classroom. I am really looking forward to input from you folks, though, to guide what feels the most useful for where you are now.
The umbrella of building a healthy lifestyle and self-sustainability is filled with micro-lessons that could dive off into many directions. I have been studying this for 30 years, and practicing it for almost 20, which ends up being a LOT of different ideas.
For now, the core categories are
- Functional Health
- Mental Health and Stress Management
- Systems/ Planning
- Food/Medicine Self-sustainability
My goal is for members of this community to begin building a sustainable, resilient lifestyle and skillset that will help them endure whatever chaos life throws at them. It is inevitable that there will be literal and metaphorical storms in the future. I hope to help people set their lives up in a way that they feel prepared to ride them out. Depending on where you are in your life, some of these will resonate more with you than others. All of them are actually intertwined and have overlaps.
You can't be physically healthy if you are stressed out. It is REALLY hard to develop or build self-sustainable food systems if your health is a mess. All of them are easier and faster with systems and planning. You will be less likely to stick with any system, habit or lifestyle if you are battling demons. And being "away from it all in the middle of nowhere" actually dramatically amplifies mental, physical and system health issues, rather than erasing them.
But where do you start?
This week, I will be diving into things that will help get you in the right direction, regardless of where you live, so stay tuned!
If you have a moment, I would love to hear from you. Either respond here or send me a private message and let me know what are your priorities for this year?
