Happy Saturday. Welcome back or welcome for the first time if you knew here. This is where I simply read to you every single day of the year including weekends and holidays from many different authors the best I can find and with their permission.

For now, let's get to the post as we optimize your life.

Do you really know what influences you by Kate flanders of Kate flanders dot com.

Last week I returned home from a retreat in California, where I thought was going to be a creativity workshop being taught by two of my favorite authors and being more like two days of therapy being provided by them.

While I know that the work was important for many of the people in the audience, it was work I had already done for myself over the past couple of years.

Acknowledging and pushing through my fears yep I'm basically always doing that actively pursuing things I want and creating an engage life is fun to write the list of ways I've done that recently.

And trusting my clarity I've been doing that too and is what helped me quit all the projects I've been working on.

As I wrote each of the prescribed letters to myself and then exchanged the words with strangers I started to feel like I shouldn't be there.

I wasn't going to the deep dark places other people seem to be venturing into I wasn't crying or having any kind of emotional reaction at all.

I was just writing facts on paper when others opened up and shared parts of themselves with me I felt guilty for only giving them a few facts in return.

I also hated that the whole setup reminded me of the documentary I am not your guru.

It felt like a gross waste of money.

So when I realized day two was going to be a repeat of a workshop I'd done in London I decided to skip it and sit with these thoughts.

Looking back now I can see that might have been the most important thing I did all weekend taking a step back.

It gave me time to think about why I'd signed up in the first place as well as why I was disappointed in what it had ended up being.
