I tried to keep this to 10 minutes. Honestly.
But it turns out my passion for The Skill of Wanting burns as brightly as my love affair with nut butter 🤷♀️ and in France you can spend the equivalent of a posh bottle of red wine on a blend of cashew, pistachio and hazelnut butter so here we are.
Unrepentant as ever.
La vie Deep Selfish Joy continues.
I’ve also made you a Notion Joy Journal Page to support you right here
So today’s podcast meets voice note is designed to prepare you to build your skill at wanting, I’m going to share thoughts on just how essential this space to dream and want is in the January field notes for paid subscribers along with links to the two documentaries I watched yesterday from the incredible vibrant force that is activist an documentary maker Deeyah Khan but today is about you and making space to be with you and what you want and allowing that to be the most important thing.
In the audio you’ll hear:
* Why the question ‘What do you want?’ is the most important starting point
* How imagination is everything.
* The importance of giving yourself a blank page
* How to avoid creating from a ‘not want’
* How to disentangle your wants from others wants
* How to not limit your wants
* Letting other surprise you and creating conditions for the beauty of the unexpected
* Searching vs exploring energy
* What to do with the fear that can partner the want
* How to find the edge of your desire and how to relax into it.
Let me know what comes up for you, I’ll be back tomorrow with Day 3/7 - Creating SPACE!
