How do you stay present in your life every day, not just when something reminds you how short it is? In this episode, I talk about why we forget what matters so quickly, and how to actually live in the moment instead of waiting for someday.
Almost four years ago, I shared an Instagram caption that people still ask me about: "We will not sip these days through straws." It was posted by a mom recording an ordinary Tuesday with her kids, just months before she died. When we're reminded of our mortality, we remember what matters. Then, seven minutes later, we're mad about the dishwasher.
In this episode:
- Why knowing what matters isn't enough, and why understanding your patterns isn't the same as changing them
- How I think about being productive and ambitious without missing your actual life
- The three parts of real identity change: your story, your capacity to feel, and your nervous system set point
- Why nervous system regulation teaches your body that discomfort and danger aren't the same thing
- How lasting change happens through repetition in real life, while your life is life-ing
You don't have to choose between getting shit done and being present. You just have to stop missing the life you already have.
The Calm AF Community is open for enrollment September 23rd, 24th, and 25th only. Join the fall cohort and get the support to practice this while your real life is happening.
