Today is a sometimes-Wednesday, in which I eradicate posting flummoxia by offering up a jambalaya, a comfort basket, a wiry fankle (a Scottish word that means a tangle or a state of confusion)… in other words, a bit of this and tad of that.

Find the Good Booster Pack free gift is available right now – look to your right and up slightly… yes, there it is. That simple box holds untold riches.

It’s an e-course in Self-Trust drawn for the most popular month of content at the Comfort Cafe. You’ll learn, in tiny bite-sized bits, how to look to your own wisdom first, and increase your confidence and ability to navigate choices.  You’ll also get an audio about Minimum Requirements for Self-Care, which is one of those concepts that just might bring some true sanity to your life. Grab it, it’s free and worth my dogs’ weight in diamonds.

March’s Very Wise Person at the Comfort Cafe is the very wise (sorry, couldn’t help myself) Todd Kasdan, who wrote the very wise book (I’m on a roll of bad jokes here) Curiosity. In our call, I asked Todd to enlightened us about psychological resiliency and boy, did he. Okay, I’m actually not smart enough to say, “Will you enlighten us about psychological resiliency?” so what I really asked him is “Will you help us get out of our own way?” and he did that.

Here’s a little excerpt for your resiliency pleasure: ToddExcerpt**

Most days, my Brain Trust – a group of heart friends who support each other through the ups and downs of our work – share what our “high value” actions are for that day – What is the first and main thing we will each do to move our businesses forward. It’s a simple and powerful practice (try it!) and, as the years pass, we learn all kinds of things about ourselves and how we work, which is golden knowledge!

One thing I’ve been learning lately from Molly and Michael and Mark and Eric is pacing. If you have a few big days of getting a lot done, if you continue to try to get a lot done, you start procrastinating and that can lead into a downward spiral of beating yourself up and then avoiding your work.

The idea that you can work 8 hours a day every day doing high-level creative work or reaching out to clients or coaching is bullshit.

Speaking of Eric, go vote on his manifesto – Lizards & Leaders: How Meditation Accelerates Change.

Thanks for fankling with me – hope you enjoyed the bits and pieces.

**Members of the Comfort Cafe have access to a library of complete Very Wise Person recordings, including Todd’s. If all you did was listen to these calls, your life would unfold around you in a gracious carpet of enlightenment!
