73. Surviving 2025 (Q1)
a fool-proof guide – satisfaction guaranteed.
This is a complete and fool-proof guide to surviving the first quarter of 2025 – this can also be applied to the remaining months and years. Devised by me and shared here for you. Completely fool-proof, tried and tested. Expect immediate results and changes (or your money back).
Stick to one practice and see it through – it can be anything. Feel the frustration rise and swell. Feel the prickle of annoyance when the 5th email bounces back or you struggle to deepen your stretch. Stay with it for a solid month. What’s the worst?
Breathe into your belly every morning and then release. Imagine you are a balloon with teflon strength elasticity. Repeat until you feel high.
Head to the member mixer for the free pizza and booze and stay for the conversation.
a) Be very present and curious. You’ll meet a guy who is a tech bro by day and a psychedelic enthusiast by night. You’ll exchange stories about your ayahuasca trips and you’ll say yes you should definitely try DMT.
b) and you’ll learn it wasn’t just you who didn’t vomit the entire contents of your insides into a bin. you (like him) cried too, and that is also a purge (thank you very much).
Walk home via your favourite bridge, buzzing from the bottle of red and the shimmery lights of the city.
You feel like Carrie after her hot date with the city. You’ll feel like LC on the back of the moped after leaving the debutante ball (now no longer known as the girl who didn’t go to Paris). You’ll call your partner and gush. You are grateful.
Confess your sins. Send your challenges to the sky. Tell them about the jealousy and that you want to release it. Ask them to help you believe in your path.
Tell them to increase your faith and to trust your prayer. You are not sure they hear you but you will speak. You will pray every single day (and sometimes nights) for a solid month, until the official new year in spring. We will check back in then, ok?
