Summary

Here's a simple list of my biggest lessons from 2022, consolidated down to 20 minutes and 7 lessons. Happy new year!

Exercise generosity (like a muscle) daily - what you give comes back multiple-fold
Practice compassion for yourself and those around you daily - without it you’ll always feel like a guest in your own heart.
Create space daily to listen deeply to your internal self as well as those around you - everything you need is with you now.
Intimate relationships are of the most powerful and sacred forms of deep healing work. If you choose to lean into them and are courageous enough to open your heart, it creates space for the oldest and stickiest contractive patterns from the past to be integrated and released. Your relationship is to be deeply honored, respected, and nurtured daily if you care for it to be fruitful.
Take actions daily to develop self-respect and trust in yourself - do the hard things, and habituate yourself to excellence.
You are only as strong as your team. Invest in people - hire a coach, therapist, mentor, etc. and nurture the relationships of those you work with. Your business is a garden, you get out of it exactly what you put into it.
Love your family - this is a part of loving yourself as you are a continuation of them. Life is too short and beautiful to live behind walls, lean into vulnerability and allow yourself to be seen by those you care for most.

Join me (and 2000+ others) for the "5-Day FLOOR SITTING CHALLENGE" on January 5th for a chance to win an Ice Barrel ($1200 value) and learn 5 ways to get up and down from the ground, 5 ways to effectively sit on the ground and connect with other mobile weirdos! Join us here: alignpodcast.com/555

0:26.1	2022. It has been a, I would say,
0:31.4	it sounds cliche, a little pretentious in new agey but I would say it has been a
0:36.0	transformational year for me I'd imagine that's the case for most people if you don't feel that I don't you know I don't know maybe

0:52.3	developed hopefully support for you
0:53.6	this would be very short episode and we're just gonna get right into it. The first
0:57.0	thing that I feel as relevant is, oh shit, hold on. I got the wrong list pulled up here. Son of a monkey?

1:38.5	very much from a place of grasping and scarcity and fear that I won't have enough resources will run out and
1:51.2	I think what that has done in many ways has actually stifled and blocked me.
1:58.0	And I am starting to really lean in to just the liberation of giving freely and giving without any type of subtle
2:11.8	manipulation or attachment to receiving something back but actually leaning
2:16.7	into the joy of giving.
2:18.7	That has been a thing.
2:19.7	I actually pulled up some research from the University of Chicago done by a fellow called Ed O'Brien.
2:26.6	And he did a couple studies that's kind of interesting.
