Yesterday, I got a little in my head about whether doing 7 days of a very similar practice was going to be a boring letdown. I spent maybe 30 minutes brainstorming ways I could make day 3 of Sunrise Hunters different or more involved or sparkly…
And then I thought, isn’t this the point?
All the urgency to do something new and different, to try something once and then abandon it if it doesn’t immediately blow our minds and change our lives, the tendency for our minds to wander off if we don’t have constant novelty dancing in front of us, isn’t that the thing very thing that keeps us from being able to go deep with anything?
On day 3 of our Sunrise Hunters experiment I, personally, am holding the vulnerability of feeling annoying and repetitive (one thing they never tell you about having an audience online is that once you get to a certain size, you’ll see people unsubscribe and unfollow every single time you post something! every time your name shows up in front of people is a time people will be reminded you exist and that they’re over your whole thing. so showing up in people’s inboxes every day, even with a free resource, feels risky. i see people unsubscribe every time, which of course is their right to do if they don’t like what I’m making and hopefully leaves my audience more aligned and enthusiastic and blah blah blah all that good stuff.), and continuing to hold the enthusiasm of the value of this practice, in all its simplicity, anyway.
And I hope that you are finding yourself excited about what you might discover on the other side of your boredom! When you allow yourself to keep going past the point where its new and shiny, what new relationship do you get to find with your practices, with your self?
Let’s find out together!
Day 3!!
