Happy Monday!Some of you REALLY need to hear this this morning so turn up the volume or put the phone down and read this carefully. If this letter teaches you something I’d encourage you to sign up for a 30 day trial and get it every day…BEING BUSY IS NOT A BADGE OF HONOR. How many times have you heard that as the good ole, “pat yourself on the back” excuse for everything???“Oh I’d love to come to the party but I’m just so busy with work…”“Oh, I wish I could make it… SO BUSY LATELY…”We all do it, and we’ve had it done to us. BUT LET’S STOP. NOW. Some questions for you to get us started…When did “BEING BUSY” replace “BEING PRODUCTIVE?”When did “BEING BUSY” start to make us feel all warm and cozy inside?And I’m about to get ALL up in your business here…Who of you, THIS WEEK, have neglected important moments with your loved ones and/or children, because you felt the need to be “BUSY”? Here’s the cold hard truth of the matter that is very hard for people to learn.Not all actions are created equal. In fact, most of our actions, no matter how hard we try…Whether it’s in business, in our personal lives, or in our relationships…ACTUALLY DON’T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. It’s only a small percentage (between 1% and 20%) of our actions that actually MOVE THE NEEDLE and ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. I’ve talked about this concept extensively in other letters, but let’s focus on the topic of being BUSY. There is something deeply ingrained in most of us…Not sure where it came from..Maybe it’s just the culture…But we’ve twisted the definition of PRODUCTIVITY.We think, we honestly believe, that if we are not BUSY doing something, we are not being productive…Am I wrong?This leads to…Checking email 500 times a dayMaking up random tasks to do that seem super important (that day)Incessantly checking in on your subordinatesEven when you aren’t working, creating random projects for yourself around the house…and many moreIt really is a disease. It’s easy to “see” this, when you think about it.It’s HARDER to do something about it. Here’s how I try to deal with the disease of busyness.1) Stop and think before acting. It’s so easy to just rush off and “DO”.I become like a squirrel sometimes… “OH A NUT LET’S GO BURY IT!”Except that nut is…an email I just thought ofSomething I forgot to send to a clientA gig I need to hire someone forSo I just rush off and do it!The key is to NOT do that…The key is to STOP.Take 10 minutes. And actually write down PRIORITIES based on your big picture goals. I like to ask myself, if I could ONLY do 1-2 things today and then I had to stop. No choice in the matter. Which two would I do?Then I do those 2 things before doing ANYTHING else. 2) Eliminate most things. Seriously. Just stop doing it. I’ve been leaning on the quote “it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission…”Random stuff that I do that when I examine it, doesn’t actually move the needle?I’ll just literally stop doing it. And see if anyone notices or if it affects anything. If anyone gets mad, I just ask for forgiveness. Try it. It works. 3) Automate or delegate what you can’t eliminate. Stop doing monotonous things that someone in the Philippines can do for $3 an hour. (ZERO offense thrown there).Virtual assistants are a THING. They aren’t going anywhere. You can EMPLOY people who DESPERATELY NEED IT. Pay them a wage that is FAR BETTER than what your competitors do…And they will LOVE YOU FOR IT. They work hard, they are available basically 24/7, and they are KIND, loving people. Seriously, why in the World do you do some things that these VA’s can do?They will do it better than you, and you can focus on things that move the needle more. (if you don’t know how to hire a VA I have one word for you… UPWORK)4) Constantly ask yourself “IS THIS ESSENTIAL?”Seriously. 45 times a day. Minimum.Everything you do, simply ask yourself “Is this Essential?”Essential literally means…absolutely necessary; extremely important.Is what you are doing ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, or EXTREMELY IMPORTANT?If it isn’t, you need to AGGRESSIVELY eliminate, automate, or delegate it. If you don’t??You simply don’t value your time.And like the great quote says…Time is money. – Benjamin Franklin.Hope you enjoyed this.

None of us are perfect. Many of us know this. Perhaps too well. We focus on our imperfection. All the things about ourselves that we don't like. That we wish were different. That cause us embarrassment or shame. Always working to be better. To do better. Incessantly examining. Working. Criticizing. Aware of our flaws. Continuously seeking ways to work on them. Of course, such practices have their value. However, it's easy to become myopic in this effort. It's totally cool to work on your flaws. To manage their impact on your life and the lives of others. You're not all flaws, though. Don't forget your strengths. Put just as much, if not more, effort toward developing and sharing your strengths as you do working on your flaws. If you focus only on your flaws, you're stuck in reactivity. Dedicating your time and energy toward not screwing things up. The more you focus on your strengths, the more you shift toward proactivity. Dedicating your time and energy toward making things better. Your strengths are your unique gifts. The lights that only you can shine. Share those gifts. Shine those lights. You've got this.

The Creative Power of Ritual

In this episode, I share the "holy" experience of finding a carving pumpkin, the awkwardness I felt when I led my first ritual, and the role ritual plays in connecting us with our power as divine creators.   From a young age, my life was rife with ritual in a way I’m just beginning to understand.  Each autumn, for instance, we’d make our annual pilgrimage to Northbrook Orchards to pick our carving pumpkins. The first or second Saturday of October we’d all pile into my Dad’s apple-red F150, crushing each other to create spaces for our bodies as the radio blared the scratchy tunes from the blown-out speaker. Locked and loaded, we’d bump and jostle down the sinuous road, tittering away about what sort of pumpkin we’d choose and whether we’d carve a goofy face or a scary face or try our hand at a Halloween scene this year. Each time my father would downshift, he’d crunch the knee of whomever had been unlucky enough to sit next to him and that poor soul would silently wince in pain—one less-than-grateful peep could turn the truck right back around and stop the trip before it even started.   Once we’d pulled up to the orchard store and my Dad had chosen a parking spot with nearly as much scrutiny as he’d soon choose his pumpkin, we’d burst out of the truck and feast our eyes on the apples, the corn stalks, the canned vegetables and the plastic bottles of single-serve cider sweating on a pile of ice in a barrel by the cash register. The smell of sugar-cinnamon donuts would soon creep into our nostrils and intoxicate us with the same potency as the incense of Sunday mass—there was something holy in that smell as we knew a taste of its source would transport us to the autumn before and before and before, as long back as we could remember. It was only after we’d chosen our pumpkins that we’d grab a half-dozen donuts and perform the amazing feat of making them disappear in a minute or less. The buzz of that anticipation would fuel the vigor with which we made our pumpkin choices.   Next the long trek through the pumpkin patch, the rolling over of each gourd to see how flat its back-side and whether or not it had grown atop a vine. We dashed about like leprechauns, desperate to discover the best pumpkin before anyone else could. The only one who strode about like a human was my mother--she trusted she’d find a pumpkin perfect for her purposes regardless, a trust I both envy and do my best to achieve now that I’m grown with a child of my own.   After fully surveying the patch we’d stand beside the pumpkin of our choice and wait for my Dad to pull his Swiss-Army Knife from a well-worn jean pocket and hack at the stems until he’d severed each from their respective vines. Depending on the size, we’d lift our pumpkins and levy a guess at the weights, hoping to guess within five pounds for the coveted chance to take home our pumpkin for free. For the kids, it was less about the money and all about the prestige.    Pumpkins selected, collected, and paid for, we’d head back to the truck and place them in a tight row in the back of the bed, careful to keep them from rolling themselves bruises and broken stems.   The following Tuesday or Thursday, we’d scrawl our chosen designs on the smooth or bumpy surface of our gourds, the five of us taking turns with the two pumpkin carvers we’d managed to save from the year before. The ritual culminated in the lighting ceremony—we’d stack our pumpkins in a line on the kitchen table and my mother would place a tea light in each and flick off the kitchen light to the sound of “oos” and “ahhs”. Huddled proud in the dark, we’d collectively have what I can only refer to as a religious experience. In this case, we were the divine creators, the beings who’d painstakingly brought something beautiful and terrifying to life.   One needn’t look far for evidence that ritual is central to our experience—the standard feed of the late-twenties set is punctuated by engagements, marriages, births, holiday outings and of course, the ultimate self-care ritual--vacations. It’s our rituals that keep us bonded, grounded, and connected, that provide us with structure and purpose. It’s our rituals that keep us from flying off the deep end when things go pear-shaped. As the Titanic sank, the band played on--we may not be able to control what’s happening around us, but we can always connect with the practices that give our lives meaning.   My first attempts at conscious ritual were clunky and awkward, strange and weirdly performative. I’d done my best to avoid every christening and public union I’d been invited to, so it was weird to find myself carving the air in a circle around me, chanting words and phrases that had no discernable context and didn’t quite resonate. I longed for transpersonal experience, longed to feel the rush of the world around me disappearing and the world of my wildest emotions and dreams taking its place. From what I’d researched, ritual was a surefire way to find this, but I had my doubts--the closest I’d come to having your traditional “holy experience” was wandering St. Peter’s Basilica in an intoxicated state, overwhelmed by the beauty, the horror, and the history of the belief system that gave birth to the Vatican and caused so much change and upset in the world. There was no priest, no intermediary, no translator—instead, there was the hum of a hundred voices, each speaking its own truth, language, and experience. Amidst the cacophony, I found my voice. Ritual absent, I found god.   Despite this, I persisted in my ritual attempts. I was in a place in my life where I had very little left to lose, so I was more than willing to make a fool of myself if it meant I might heal some wounds and step into my power. About three tries in, I discovered that I was the captain of my ship and master of my fate inside my sacred space—if I didn’t like something, I could leave it, and if something piqued my interest, I could explore it further. Using my own leanings as a guide, I crafted a ritual practice with tarot, astral travel, and deity communication at its core, and I’ve been pretty damn happy and content ever since.   So what is it about the repetition of action and recitation that’s so damn powerful? Every practitioner is likely to have a slightly different take, but I think most can agree that repetition trains the mind to have the experience it desires to have. For instance, the first time you light a yellow candle and ask the cosmos for joy, you create the association between yellow and joy, and candles and petitions. Likewise, you create a space where deep concentration and focus is present, and where these are present, memory has a better chance of taking hold. Do the same thing often enough, and you won’t even have to try to make conscious associations—your body and mind take over and immerse you in this world almost instantaneously. And in this space of awareness, importance, and reverence, a portal for transpersonal experience opens up and sucks you in.   Some folks require an intense level of rote repetition to open this portal—think of the chanting of the “om” mantra and its ability to banish ego and through losing conscious meaning gain greater meaning on a cellular level. Some, like myself, prefer to follow the tenor of the moment where the soul wants it to go, more or less freestyling on a ritual concept given what jives in the moment. I’ve always found the freedom to alter and experiment liberating, and alternative spiritual practice seems to allow this more readily than other religious traditions. Even as I dig doing my own thing, I also see the value in referencing rituals that have come before, rituals that dozens upon dozens of folks have performed at various places and times in history with varying degrees of success. I believe that consciousness records these experiences, and the more they’re performed with a similar intention, the more powerful they become. This is a place where my logic breaks down and I let the woo in—this is a place where the transpersonal becomes possible for my particular psyche.   Even though I support a laissez-faire approach to magick and ritual, I conceive, write, and demonstrate a new ritual every month for the online coven I organize. I do this knowing that each and every one of the members approach spiritual practice from a nuanced, unique space. I do this knowing that it’s impossible for the ritual I offer to meet the distinct, personal needs of each member, and I do this in the hopes that each feels inspired to do what she needs to do to make it her own. Why don’t I just encourage each to create their own monthly ritual and support them in this process? Because I understand how easy it is to pass over ourselves, to put off this generative activity and address something more pressing and concerning. I also know how daunting it can be to stare at a blank page with blank thoughts, clueless of what I’m looking to achieve and clueless of how to get there. Sometimes we need starting point, a primary structure to rearrange and play with. This is why Catholicism never really jived with me—there was no room to make the ritual my own. There was no space for me to find my voice and to give it a channel to speak through.   So often our daily rituals are forced, stilted, unpleasant: drive to work though rush-hour traffic. Wash the dishes, clean the litter box. Take out the trash. Listen to a friend or significant other complain about a job they refuse to leave. Incessantly tend to our children’s needs with little thanks or appreciation in return. Make yet another uninspired dinner and mindlessly zone out to the television in the wake of our over-exertion and exhaustion. Wake up the next day and do it all again, oblivious to the reality it’s creating within us. What we endlessly repeat is important, folks, and if it doesn’t speak to who we are or what we want from this life, it can reinforce a narrative that’s both depressing and disempowering.   With intention and awareness, however, we can create rituals that feed and comfort us. We can reframe our daily routine by crafting a contextual narrative that gives meaning to the monotonous repetition of our lives. With a great deal of thought and effort, we can grow closer to ourselves, our souls, and our experience through bringing mindfulness to our actions. And if we’re truly dedicated and committed to this pursuit, we can create a paradigm where it’s possible to find the goddess on a walk to the corner store.   One of the first intentional rituals I adopted was the walking ritual. Shortly after I moved to the city to attend college, I devoted one afternoon a week to wandering a new neighborhood, eager to map out the landscape of my new home. As I walked I allowed my mind to go where it would, to interact with the what it perceived and to respond through thought and emotion. After a few months of these treks, it became obvious to me that each neighborhood aroused something a little bit different, a specific feeling or memory trigger that took me to a specific psycho-spiritual place. When I felt the need for pop-culture connection, I went to South Philly. When I wanted to feel literary and plugged in, I’d hop to Midtown. When I wanted to feel downright ritzy and decadent, I went to Rittenhouse. When I wanted weirdness and detachment, I went West.   I still live in the same city and I still take these neighborhood walks. I travel to the place that’s sure to evoke the experience I’m looking for, and each time I revisit, I discover something new. Walking through neighborhoods is a glorious act of co-creation—they show me what they are and I give meaning to those images, and over time, something greater than myself or the neighborhood takes shape.   So it is with ritual—through practice, we create something simultaneously familiar and novel. We form a portal to a place where who and what we are transcends itself.

Our passage from the Word of God today is 2 Chronicles 35:25 which reads: "And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations." Our quote today is from Cyril Connolly. He said: "While thoughts exist, words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living." In this podcast, we are using as our texts: "Literature and Spirituality" by Yaw Adu-Gyamfi and Mark Ray Schmidt, and "Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing" by X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia.  Our first topic for today is "Spirituality as Quest, Part 10" from the book, "Literature and Spirituality" by Yaw Adu-Gyamfi and Mark Ray Schmidt. We are continuing our selection from Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha: The Ferryman (Part 3)Siddhartha stayed with the ferryman and learned to operate the boat, and when there was nothing to do at the ferry, he worked with Vasudeva in the rice-field, gathered wood, plucked the fruit off the banana-trees. He learned to build an oar, and learned to mend the boat, and to weave baskets, and was joyful because of everything he learned, and the days and months passed quickly. But more than Vasudeva could teach him, he was taught by the river. Incessantly, he learned from it. Most of all, he learned from it to listen, to pay close attention with a quiet heart, with a waiting, opened soul, without passion, without a wish, without judgement, without an opinion. ....... Our second topic for today is "Reading a Story, Part 14" from the book, "Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing" by X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia. John UpdikeJohn Updike (1932-2009), was born in Pennsylvania, received his B. A. from Harvard, then went to Oxford to study drawing and fine art. In the mid-1950s he worked on the staff of the New Yorker, at times doing errands for the aged James Thurber. Although he left the magazine to become a full-time writer, Updike continued to supply it with memorable stories, witty light verse, and searching reviews. A famously prolific writer, he published more than fifty books. Updike is best known as a hardworking, versatile, highly productive writer of fiction. For his novel "The Centaur" (published in 1963) he received a National Book Award, and for "Rabbit Is Rich" (published in 1982) a Pulitzer Prize and an American Book Award. The fourth and last Rabbit Angstrom novel, "Rabbit at Rest" (published in 1990), won him a second Pulitzer. Updike is one of the few Americans ever to be awarded both the National Medal of Arts (1989) and the National Humanities Medal (2003) - the nation's highest honors in each respective field. His many other books include "The Witches of Eastwick" (published in 1984), made into a successful film starring Jack Nicholson, "Terrorist" (published in 2006), and his final novel, "The Widows of Eastwick" (published in 2008). .......
