Episode • Mar 28, 2023 • 32m

Hello, everyone! Today, I will be talking about the Five Point Sequence, with a focus on the first point: Preparation.

How does your past inform how you currently build preparation into your life? 

In this episode, I talk about the power of having a coherent preparation pattern, and how through somatic work we can go back on the timeline (timeline repair) and update and rewire patterning toward something that feels supportive and cohesive.

In the end, I share my inquiry around biohacking for longevity.  What is hyper-preparation (over-efforting control and forgetting to live life while you have it now), and what is coherent preparation? To support these thoughts I offer two poems, one by Max Ehrmann and the other by David Whyte.

Quotes:

  • “Not just thinking that I should be able to go from one thing to the next thing to the next. Preparation might even be a pause, ‘I'm going to take a pause. I'm going to notice my resources before I walk into that room, I'm going to notice my feet on the ground. I'm gonna broaden my surroundings. I’m going to notice my breath...’” -Sarah Tacy [07:40] 
  • “So if as a child, you felt unsafe when one shot when one parent came home, you probably became a pro at reading the room.” -Sarah Tacy [14:00]
  • “When we get wrinkles, we get grays, and as our bodies become less agile, these are steps towards our big let go.” – Bryan Kest [18:27]
  • “The more of the reserve we have, the better off we are.” – Peter Attia [19:01]
  • “You are a child of the universe.” – Max Ehrmann [24:10]
  •  “What you can plan is too small for you to live.” – David Whyte [26:43]
