The Introvert's Path: January 2025
Life Unclenched: Quieting the Roar of Paper Tigers | Mindful Productivity Coaching for Introverts
Why is this in my Inbox?
Welcome to The Introvert’s Path newsletter, personally written for my Substack subscribers and members of my mailing list.
I’m thrilled and honored by the opportunity to share this time and space with you.
As your Mindful Productivity coach, my goal is to share with you a variety of unique and inspiring perspectives to help you calm the daily overwhelm and rescue your time, energy, and focus so you can do more of what truly matters in your life.
The content I share comes from my own personal midlife journey, a commitment to living life unclenched and of quieting the roar of our paper tigers. The topics we’ll explore include mindfulness, productivity, philosophy, psychology, and empowering our introversion.
Beyond the upheaval of 2024.
2024 has been a year of significant personal upheaval, existential struggle, and exhausting challenges for many of us, me being very much a part of that experience.
Heading into this new year, I’m committed to letting go of complexities, which quickly become a fertile breeding ground for overwhelm and resistance.
My strategy for ridding myself of complexities is to leverage simplification, removing the obstacles, valuing the lessons taken from the experiences, and moving forward.
When finding ourselves in the face of roaring tigers, by reminding ourselves that they are only made of paper, we can skillfully move past them and continue growing along our path.
Yay! Substack is my new home!
In pursuit of simplification, I’ve decided to officially make my Substack publication, The Introvert’s Path, my new home for publishing my content and sharing with you all that I have to offer along the journey of mindful productivity, including this newsletter.
As a free subscriber to my Substack publication, you have access to all my public posts, including my daily notes, weekly articles, videos, and podcasts. There’s plenty more to come in the new year, and I’m really looking forward to growing and empowering our tribe of fellow introverts along the way.
Untether, Unclench, and Let Go!
It’s hard to let go and to accept change, but there’s no growth in life without it.
Much like choosing to embrace and engage discomfort, the willingness to accept our efforts as an ongoing series of experiments is essential to our individual growth and our ability to rise and thrive in life.
The emotional weight of letting go of things can easily spiral into its own paralyzing overwhelm if we allow it the power and opportunity to do so.
Loading up on the “What if…” and “Maybe I should or shouldn’t” internal dialogue will keep us stuck and pull us down, feeding our resistance with procrastination, doubt, and fear.
Of course, it’s always wise to consider the potential benefits and consequences of a decision. However, for those of us who’ve struggled throughout our lives feeling clenched by indecision and resistance, letting go is how we forge ahead on a path and practice of living life unclenched.
So, with that in mind, it’s time for a lift-off.
My Daily Notes: Mindful Productivity Insights
I’m posting my daily notes on Substack as a combination of sharing some “in-the-moment” thoughts and insights as well as giving you a preview of topics I may go deeper into depth with posting my weekly articles, videos, and podcast episodes.
REQUEST: If any of my notes resonate with you, adding a comment and giving those notes a like helps encourage and influence me in deciding which topics I’ll dive deeper into for my upcoming weekly posts.
