Description

What is one gadget that you recently acquired that made your life easier, better, and you would recommend to others? What does one gadget, you know what. By the way, one of my favorite words is technology. You want to know why? Because most people misdefined technology and they think it's electronics, but technology is actually any method that automates a task. It's kind of mind blowing. Okay, so this was going to be nuts. What's the number one gadget that I've recently acquired that made my life easier, better, and you would recommend to others the six minute diary, the six minute diary, because. It forces me to take time to set intention, to set goals and targets, and then to reflect on my day from a place of intentionality. And I've been anti journaling for most of my life because I was basically resistant to growth and it was uncomfortable and I didn't like it cause I didn't like to slow down and be in my own thoughts because it scared me. But I will tell you that I bring this with me everywhere and I write in it. Every single day. And sometimes I miss days and sometimes I don't. I reflect in it. And, for example, you know, I'm, I've been going through this and, and I'm not going to share what I write. But you know, one of them a couple of weeks ago, in the weekly notes section, so we have this weekly notes section right here. And I was thinking about it and I was having some anxiety and, and reactivity and things like that, and, and a few people in my life, like. You know, you need to write another letter to your younger self. And it's a really good process for releasing. It's taught in personal development. We do it in our men's group. There's a lot of psychology around it, similar to like a stalled empty chair processes and things like that. And I've done this before, very cathartic healing. Like I've written letters to my dad who is deceased, and then I buried them. I've written letters to, you know, things in my past and I've burned them and thrown them out like Justin, the art of letting it go. It was really interesting because every letter I wrote. Used to be written from this place of like, I can't believe this happened, like anger and fear. And then I was challenged to do it again. And so I use my weekly note section and I wrote a letter to myself, and I read this the other day cause I just wrote and I flowed. And this entire thing was about, it was basically. Positive. It was optimistic. There was no fear. There was no anger, there was no blame or fault. It was like very, very much done. And I literally, I'll just read you the first part because I would have no idea this came, but it really grounded me. And I wrote, dear baby George, you are safe. Your existence is pure love and joy, and you were made with a giant heart to share it with the world. And it was like mind blowing, right? So I consider this a gadget and a technology because it allows me to space, to reflect, to look at where I've come from, and then to get really grounded and motivated about all the work that I've done and all the beautiful stuff that is in life. And it's a work in progress. I have down days, I had a down day yesterday where my energy was off and, you know, but it's reflection. So it's an amazing question, but, I feel like. Technology or gadgets that allow you more time with yourself, more reflection time or breathing time more. Nothing time. More resting time is the best thing we can all do.
