Entry #4: Beginning With Breath

Habit Stacking on a Foundation of Breathing

One week into my "funemployment" I decided to take some time to look back and reflect on what I had accomplished and how I could improve next week. I actually still felt a bit burnt out; the opposite of my intentions. My system was not fully working. Something still needed to change.

I realized that, while I had laid out my best intentions to maintain my physical and mental health by prioritizing them in my habits, I ended up falling into the productivity trap. I felt a pressure to get my business started as quickly as possible. I have had many ideas over the last 5 years and I was so excited to get started on them that I wanted to start them all at once 🤦‍♂️

Entry #3: Building Habits From The Ground Up

To not only reach self-actualization, but also to reach it consistently, I knew that I would need to start from the beginning. I needed to undergo a complete change in my daily approach to life. Based on my goals and personality, I knew I would benefit from adding structure to my days in a way that introduced continuous building. Each day, a new building block can be formed that can connect to the previous day to build towards the person I have always been meant to be.

For me, and I think most people, each step on the path to self-actualization can be stabilized by meeting the basic physical and mental needs (the bottom layer of Maslow's hierarchy). This foundation makes sense: I know that my ideal me is not someone who is unhealthy and unhappy. But what is my ideal me? That is a question for each of us to decide.

Entry #2: The Path of Self-Actualization

One month ago I gave my resignation. Yesterday was my last day 😌

I resigned from the intellectual property law firm I have worked at since 2016. Many people have asked me what I am doing next? Which firm I am going to? Which company have I joined? The answer? Nothing, none of them.

Entry #1: What Recalibrating Means To Me

I have done what I “should” do for most of my life. I worked hard to get into a good university for mechanical engineering, finishing second in my class, got into law school, got a job as a lawyer, and passed the exams to become a patent agent in Canada and the US, winning multiple awards for the highest score. Now what?
