What's on the other side of success?

After you have the job, business, wealth, family, trophies, body, fame, impact, legacy, time – then what?

There might be some prancing unicorns at the end of the rainbow, but what if something is still missing? What if everything that got you there doesn't work so well anymore? What does it actually take to feel good in your life?

On The Naked Art of Living, we explore the blue ocean of life beyond success. You are invited to leave your armor at the dock. I'll do the same. Let's jump in together.

 

2: How to Change

1:25
Show notes
In episode 2, we explore what it actually takes to change.
If you have a reaction or feeling that’s not serving you, a habit you want to create or break, an urge or craving you want to dissolve – you can rewire your brain to bring you the experience you do want, using the same process that created the situation in the first place.
In many ways, our brain doesn't differentiate between a real experience and one that we imagine.
This can lead to some problematic situations – if you're afraid of something, for example, just thinking about that thing can trigger a cascade of emotions and sensations in your body. The more this happens, the more your brain gets used to sending you a specific set of thoughts, emotions, and sensations.
The good news is that you can use this same process to create a new experience.
This is not one more more hack or technique to help you force or push or trick yourself to change or do something you don't really want to do.
This is a process that empowers you to train your brain to give you the kind of experience you want – as long as it's what you really want.
You can change today, and you can do it in a way that doesn't involve pushing or unproductive suffering, in a way that actually feels good.

​We start things all the time. When starting is easy we rarely even notice it. When it's difficult to start, though, it can feel like an endless slog. In this episode, we'll hear different stories of starting – sometimes it feels fun, sometimes not so much. We'll look at some key ingredients of starting, and end with a few simple practices that will support you when you feel called to start
