@Darryl Kozak I have used both multiple times. I think that FYIM was really helpful in shifting my worldview and way of thinking away from Machine time and more towards Human time. Each week is a lesson (20-45 minutes) that also includes a few reflection questions. I actually went through it three years in a row, each time going a little bit deeper in my process. the first year I observed that I shifted my behavior and external world in some meaningful ways. The next year I understood the lessons more deeply since I had sat with the for a year. So the second year I noticed a lot more internal shifts. And the third year it went deeper into shifts in my identity. (Same lessons, but I was able to hear them differently as I changed) The Life Atlas I do every year - and probably will do every year indefinitely. I gain so much by taking the time to do self reflection and to orient myself in a particular direction and by setting yearly and quarterly goals. I have found a lot more acceptance and peace in my life through working with the Life Atlas. And I have much clearer awareness of my goals and priorities of how I want to spend my time and energy and attention. This is the second year in a row that my husband has done Life Atlas with me. I said that "if we are going to live our lives together, we should probably plan our lives together". The conversations that have resulted have really allowed me to see and understand him more clearly. And it has turned into something we really look forward to working with (independently and together).

@Nancy Menning Thanks Nancy. I am going from a classical way of measuring sustainability…. Where hopefully it only affects one or two sectors. Basically the environment is Everything and encompasses all the sectors. It is the political environment, the social environment, the economical environment. The environment is the intersection of all of them… and ecology is what underlies it all- if the water table and farmland has forever chemicals dumped into it due to lack of regulations… that affects our food chain and water scarcity, which in turn affects our bodies… and medical system. And if our health insurance is tied to our jobs, but we have job loss, what strain does that put on the infrastructure of the safely nets… which are also being defunded …by the very administration that is also subsidizing the tech billionaires?? It is on a scale of industrialization beyond anything we have ever known… so at first our mind has a hard time seeing the connections. But like the fabric of a sweater, when you pull any one thread, you start to see the snag compromises the structure of the whole thing.

How can I stay connected to my Being and move with ease while engaged in a full schedule of Doing?

The daily is a better fit for me. And I find that the more in-depth reflection give me better insights.

I am reading "How to Winter".
