I really love how you started this weeks letter with simple observations. To take inventory of your life. It’s so insightful to be in such a deep state of observation and to be honest with yourself about what you can do differently, what you can omit all together, what you can delegate & what you’d like more of. Once things are brought into our awareness we get to choose.

Freedom is an inside job. Freedom is an unshakable inner peace not contingent on any outside forces.

“Ruthlessly edit your life.” DAMN. I feel this so deeply. I’m currently editing the shit out of life it’s confronting and it’s the best thing I could possibly do for myself. Being compassionate with myself throughout this process.

I love your pro tip of actually scheduling time for yourself on the calendar like you would any other client. I will write on my calendar “NOTHING” on days where I am committed to going inward, connecting with nature, fueling my spirit however feels good.

“If the whole is the sum of its parts, then a person must figure out how to weave together all of the fundamental elements of their being in order to create a happy, thriving life that works for them.”

This is so profound. I literally see myself weaving a web of my work and bringing every single piece of me into it. It’s remarkable what happens when you surrender to this process.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Matt.

Thank you for the guide on how to take a moment to observe ourselves. It’s simple yet incredibly powerful to be able to connect these dots the way you’ve suggested.

As for your diversify segment, it made me think of a pie all sliced up. Taking the time to get clear on what those slices are will definitely help us create the life we want to be living. I'm thinking this will be a great journaling excercise!

Looks like it comes down to clarity, choices, and follow through and, most importantly, prioritizing our health overall.

This was so worth the wait!

Looking forward to whatever you choose to share next. ;) Thanks, Matt!

Absolutely brilliant. Each newsletter is better than the previous one.

I love the ALL IN phrase of: If something is NOT a full yes, it’s a definite no.

The tip of making a schedule calendar for YOURSELF is the ultimate golden rule to say no to anything else.

Thank you so much for your wisdom. <3

Thank you Gema!! So glad you find these letters valuable 🙏🏼

The calendar tip really helped me starting a few years ago. When you have things in your life scheduled out, it’s so easy to tell others you’re busy cause you are 😂
