In The Zone 4/20

Apr 20, 2021

Life is a game. Play.

I’ve never been one to “blog” however I do believe that there is power in sharing what you are up to – to the universe – as an exercise of action and accountability. So despite my resistance to writing this – I am going to share nonetheless and use this page as a resource to track my progress.

For the next month (4/20 – 5/18) I am taking on creating powerful possibilities in the areas of my fitness and expanding Mars Built.

PRoClAmaTion

 1. Standing there, the possibilities I am creating in the area of expanding Mars Built are freedom, leadership & powerful collaboration – three bold actions I will take are:

  1. Enroll Chop Value into crowdfunding for startup
  2. Put Piano Cembelet up on marketplaces for showcase & case (reverb, etsy & marsbuilt.com)
  3. Finish White Oak Producers Credenza 5/18

2. Standing there, the possibilities I am creating in the area of fitness are the possibility of fun, flowing, adventure – three bold actions I will take are:

  1. 1 one hour minimum bike ride a week
  2. 4 days a weeks of breath-work in the am
  3. 2 surf sessions a week

Blink. There goes a week!

The lessons learned.

  • Maximize your morning routine
  • There is power in action
    • Commit
    • Paddle out
    • Go to the shop and do one thing
  • Be grateful

The 5am call to waves was met with a little bit of resistance this morning. Thankfully the drive to create an opportunity for myself and my son was much stronger than the drive to stay warm and cozy in the bed. 

The reward for getting out was a thousand shades of greys and grey blues, dolphins galore, fun and gentle waves, the smiles and companionship of my son and the shared experience of his experience. I was left with and an immense sense of gratitude for life and a force that will fuel the next set of experiences… be a yes to what lights you up.
