Character Alarms

Since the start of the New Year - I've been playing around with productivity and efficiency "hacks" and tricks. Then, I came across a Twitter thread from Sahil Bloom (well worth a follow!) in which he mentions the use of alarms for reminders to become the Main Character in your own life.

The strategy is simple - and one adopted from the Three Alarms protocol by Author and Business Coach, Eric Partaker.

Sometimes, we all struggle with imposter syndrome - or just find it tricky to get into the mood for a specific task. By creating a character or Alter Ego (...read The Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman for an incredible deep dive into this this!) we can utilise gentle reminders to nudge ourselves to inhabit the traits necessary to perform certain duties with full intent and drive.

Here's my current Character Alarm Strategy β†’

I've labelled my reminders as Affirmations - for a true statement of intent!

  • Mindset Monster β†’ Carved out of discipline. Cold exposure, exercise & meditation.

  • The CEO β†’ Complete focus on building my business. Hard tasks first.

  • The Super Dad β†’ Prioritises being present & attentive with my family.

  • The Founder β†’ Embraces the long, hard path required for success.

  • I am: Ready for Tomorrow β†’ Bonus! ...this is an affirmation to remind me that tomorrow's performance starts the night before.

What Characters do you have inside you?

πŸ₯Ά Stress = Growth

πŸ“ˆ Every challenge is a new opportunity for growth.

Stress gets a bad rap. But, not all stress is created equal. And, oftentimes the biggest issue we have as modern humans - is our relationship to stress or stressors that we encounter in our lives. It's often not the incident, action or situation itself.

Stress + Rest = Growth / Adaptation / Resilience / Knowledge

Exercise is a form of stress - lifting weights, running / walking (with considerable effort) and deliberately exposing ourselves to the edges of our comfort zones on a physical level - induces stress responses in our bodies which allows for the opportunity for us to learn - physically and mentally.

🧠 In experience - you gain knowledge.

This week, April sat down with Kevin O'Neill - a Breathwork Coach and Cold Water Therapist that works closely with clients to build mental resilience, rewire our connection with stress and offers tools to combat anxiety, trauma and addiction.

Deliberate and controlled stress can teach us ways to find comfort in the uncomfortable situations that life will always throw our way. It builds on your own innate confidence and resilience and bolsters the strength you do have already within you.

For Kevin, "breathing isn't just about breathing - it's a life force for body and mind". In this weeks episode of With IntentionΒ - Kevin talks about ways to harness stress and to utilise it as a tool for personal growth.

β€œI struggled for so long with alcohol and other substance abuse that something had to give, I lost my sister Yvonne in 2019 and I think it was enough trauma to make me think a lot more about my own life”

😷 Natural Deodorant - that actually works!

🀝 Together with The Natural Deodorant Co.

Right now, I'm sweating a lot. I'm running again after a foot / knee injury - I'm walking the dogs 10KM / day - I'm playing football and running around most of the time with my kids.

And, I have sensitive skin - I've had other "natural" deodorants actually burn my underarms when I get after it. Which can totally kill a run for me.

When we trialled The Natural DeodorantΒ - I felt great! Super smooth application and it smells amazing - even after a pretty competitive game of football. And I never take it easy!

πŸͺ§ FOR SALE: WILD & WILD CafΓ©

πŸ‘‹ Ever fancied owning an Award Winning CafΓ©?

This March will see in the 5th Anniversary of the WILD & WILD CafΓ©. A dream that started in Ubud, Bali with April and myself getting in our last holiday before we welcomed our first born, River Wild.

Fast forward 8 years - and here we are.

It's been one heck of a ride - from zero experience to winning multiple prestigious awards in the industry - we've created a little piece of our Balinese dream right here in Cheshire.

But, our time has come. We no longer feel that we're the ideal stewards of this business and we're looking for someone with a dream of their own - that wants to take what we've created and run with it.

It's a successful business with local and National praise - committed and consistent regulars and it poses an amazing opportunity for someone to build on - and to take into the future.

We can work in collaboration (if that's of interest) as we plan to evolve WILD & WILD into an Events and Media business - hosting both domestic and international retreats. As well as publishing our own original content and continuing to build this Newsletter into a truly exciting and valuable resource for you all.

The opportunity is for the taking.

We have prepared all relevant docs and info for anyone interested β†’ and they're ready to be shipped over to anyone interested in finding out a little more.

It goes without saying - this has been a huge decision for April and myself - and one we've taken a long, long time to consider.

If you're interested - or know someone that might be: then reply to or forward on this this email.

The property itself is also available for purchase - giving someone the opportunity to own the entirety of the business and all associated assets as well.

πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ So, What's Next?

WILD & WILD - will continue.

We've plans to evolve our offering into hosting bigger and better Events.

That and the continued growth of this very Newsletter as a means of providing value - and creating content worth reading!

April has always dreamed of running residential retreats around the World 🌎 ...and we believe it's time to act on that vision.

We're currently planning on publishing a series of guided retreats around the UK - and have plans to expand beyond our seas to other beautiful countries in the not so distant future.

On that note: April has published her latest Yoga Day Retreat - focused on Creating Balance.

If spending the day in a huge Tipi with Flow Yoga, Breathwork, Intention Setting, Journalling, Healthy Lunch, Nature Walks, Restorative Yoga + Treats piques your interest β†’ check the link below to find out more!
