Everyone has their own way of moving through life. Do you feel you work better when life is fast paced, slow paced, or in between? This episode talks about knowing what gears serve you best.

My mother and I have an inside joke about me having two modes of operation. In one mode, I’m laser focused and no one can stop me from accomplishing what I set out to do. In the other mode, I’m totally chill and in a relaxed state with nothing else to give. I’m basically an embodiment of “Let’s go” or “No go.”

I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP189’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. I’ve learned to accept these two modes of operation for myself. I think there are a lot of different circumstances that have contributed to that reality of mine, so I’d like to discuss that more with all of you.

On our Wise Walk, we discuss knowing what gears serve you best. It’s time to really structure your life for the kind of experiences you want. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:

  • What are your typical modes of operation?
  • Do you know which gears you operate in most from day to day?
  • Do you feel that those gears are serving you well?
  • Have they served you well in the past?
  • Do you need to reevaluate whether these gears still serve you?
  • Can you explore what other modes are possible for you and could enhance your life?

You get to question if you want to continue life the way you have. More importantly, you have the chance to choose again if something’s no longer aligned.

Here’s your moment to set a new pace for yourself. Play with the gears in your life with these Wise Walk questions:

    • What’s an example in your life where you’ve gone all in?
    • Did you need to recover from that time?
    • Have you found a different pace for yourself lately?
    • Do you honor your recovery time?
    • When you look at how you function, do you know when you’re at your best?
    • Are you mindful of how you approach situations so you can be at your best without overwhelming yourself?
