If you value the health of your nervous system, then you’ll listen to this strong reminder. We must stop the insanity of allowing everything and anything to grab our attention. Today's message is a call to be more intentional about what we allow into our inbox, onto our phones through notifications and what we allow our news feed to look like.

A verge is a boundary, an edge between what is known and unknown, comfortable and uncomfortable. Being on the verge, on the edge of change, is where we grow. It’s also where we come alive.

Take the time do something that most important thing for yourself today. Don’t put it aside for when you “find the time.” We know that’s a losing batter. Putting the most important thing at the top of your list and doing it is a great way to stay out of getting cranky and taking things out on others.

If there is ever a time to turn our attention inwards and to start trusting ourselves, it is right now. 

Oh boy, do we need to listen to ourselves now more than ever. This is hard to do when we live in the static of confusion, distraction, overload and overwhelm. Tune in to explore how to listen less to the outside and more to the inside.

Allow yourself to recognize that change is constant—that every new opportunity, new possibility, new door that has closed and that is opening is an offering to change. May we remember that we are constantly being reminder that change is happening and that what got us here, won’t get us there.

Does it feel like your emotional cycle is accelerating? Welcome to the “full catastrophe” of the human experience. 

One day you’re super excited about potential opportunities and the next day you see doors closing everywhere. One day you’re higher than a kite and the next you’re curled up in the corner thinking I have no idea what to do today or how to be today. What's going to happen? We have no idea.

It's a privilege for us to be experiencing the massive disruption of our Collective consciousness. Give yourself permission to step into your courage and to walk forward into this unknown, uncertain and unfamiliar territory known as your life.

I want to encourage you to be more spontaneous and more outrageous. Learn to play at the edges of your comfort zone. Instead of trying to be perfect, be imperfect. In fact, don’t make any sense – at all.

Being kind to oneself is like nectar. It's the medicine I needed to really progress in my personal transformation—and I hope it will help you too. In this episode I offer you another loving-kindness practice and it starts with giving yourself an endearing nickname.
