Psychedelic Sickness...
New Years Eve I got sick.
Not regular sick.
Psychedelic sickness.
Mind numbing migraines. Sore throat.
A cough that made me fear each breath because of the migraine pain it induced.
Fever. Chills.
A wisdom tooth decided to lock my jaw shut.
My wife joked about my annual "man cold"
until she got it 2 days ago and started her own journey through it.
This wasn't the start to 2026 I planned.
But maybe it was the one I needed?
3 days in bed. Sweaty. Surrendered.
All the projects, content, and plans I wanted to build... they waited.
Super frustrating.
But I was left to sit with the pain, the surrender, and the idea that without health nothing else matters.
🕊️ A cool Spirit Download
10 days before New Years, my wife's family and I wrote down 10 intentions for 2026.
We cut them into pieces, crumpled them up, and each day we'd either burn or throw away one piece without looking.
Allowing spirit to guide what mattered most.
Our #1 focus for 2026 would be revealed on Jan 1st.
Want to guess what mine was?
Health and body.
The day I got sick
ur hiLaRIous Spirit.
But being grateful for the sickness was my mantra
and as a result this sickness had 3 downloads for me
that apply to both health and business.
/// 1️⃣ Addition by subtraction
Before I got sick I was feeling overwhelmed.
The sickness forced me to ONLY focus on the few things I could actually do each day.
I thought more about this and realized the path forward wasn't about adding.
It was about releasing.
Removal felt aligned with what my body was already doing during the sickness.
Getting rid of things. Purging.
I got rid of coffee. 50 Skool communities. Clothes. A load of things on my to-do list. Clutter. Expenses and subscriptions. Plans and expectations. Non-whole foods. All the apps on my phone.
I even fully shaved my beard for the first time in 10+ years.
I'm not done yet.
I can see both in health and business I love to over-complicate things.
The first step isn't adding a vision board.
It's removing and clearing space.
As I removed more stuff, I became less sick.
/// 2️⃣ Fix foundations
My health slipped because my foundations slipped.
Staying up late. Late night snacking. Skipping my morning routine. Half-baked workouts. Too much coffee.
Before I start any new workout program or do anything with my health, it's obvious I need to take care of the foundations first.
Drink more water. Get more and better sleep. Eat whole foods. Stretch and move daily. Meditation, mindfulness, and prayer.
The same goes for business.
Ever since AI came on the scene, I've been operating with an "OH SHIT this is going to change everything" mentality.
It is.
But over time this led me away from focusing on some of the foundations.
If you try to scale without a solid foundation, that's when things break and end up being miserable.
The second download: fix the foundations.
/// 3️⃣ Respect your season
In the sickness it would be foolish to fight or ignore the fact that I was sick.
I was sick. The only thing to do was deal with the sickness.
Full surrender.
Calls, emails, chats, opportunities, workshops... they could all wait.
For both health and business we need to understand what season we're in and how to be in that season.
So we can surrender, accept, and be in the flow of life.
👋🏼 Back Online
Today is my first official day back.
Clean shaven face. Sickness behind me. On my way to the gym.
Clear head about what happens next.
How's the start of your 2026?
