Do big changes really require big leaps?
Most advice about change assumes it has to be dramatic!!!! You either go all in or you do nothing. That framing makes many reasonable desires feel unreachable. I often feel I'm alone, living in the middle, not trying to jerk my life around. Anyone else in the middle? The gap between where you are and where you want to be often feels large because it is imagined as one move. When that gap is broken into smaller steps, the nervous system responds differently. The decision becomes easier to make and easier to take the first step. Moving to a new place does not have to begin with selling EVERYTHING. It can begin with spending a weekend there and renting a place for a weekend/week. That experience provides information without forcing commitment. Wanting a more portable work life does not require QUITTING a job. It can start by asking/making one day a week remote. That small shift tests what is possible with very little risk. Small, reversible steps build trust in yourself. When trust increases, action becomes more natural, and momentum follows without feeling forced. In what area of your life could you experiment with ONE small step that would move you closer to the Portable Life you want?

What resonates the most when you think about life changes?
Many people want a life they can take anywhere. Most stay put because old fears still hold weight. Which one resonates with you? (if I missed one - please add in Comments)

@Lary Neron My childhood "hometown" is Edmonton and I was the same through university - feeling the need to always go "home" and also bought into that until I didn't. Right now, my partner's 87 yo parents live with us and there's a very cute 4-yo Great Dane that is our dependent. Those things will change and provide more freedom soon enough. For now, they are the anchor and I'm going to cherish that time because we won't have it eventually.
Where would you most like to live?
If you could freely chose where you live, what would it be?

@Lary Neron YES! Only 4 minutes from my house. With only a few flights a day so limited noise and lots of convenience!

@Lary Neron Long term storage, no, but my partner works there, I'm sure we can stick it in the basement! LOL

@Lary Neron I'd like to be able to live and work wherever I please. But I'm also struggling with the concept of "home" as I seem to want that anchor. This is all a new dream, so it's still growing in my head.

@Lary Neron I *think* I'm the same. I need some quiet space to reflect on some of this, which I am aiming to create. That's my first step. Thanks, Lary - always appreciate your perspectives.
