4. Life Cleanse

 

#4. Confessions of a Job Seeker – NEW? Start here
This series is based on a design journal that I kept during 2012 – 2013

Coming to terms with the fact that I’d completely burnt myself out while building a company focused on happiness, turned out to be a major wake up call. I understood that I needed to fundamentally change the way that I live, so I decided to do a life cleanse. This has entailed an ongoing and deliberate practice of deconstructing my lifestyle and building up a strong foundation. I’ve scaled back. I’ve slowed down. I’ve focused on developing habits related to nutrition, energy, exercise, and attention.

This has taken quite a bit of unlearning, personal honesty and effort.  What I’ve come to understand through this process is that you cannot be all that happy or effective if you’re not healthy and you can’t be very healthy if you’re not happy. The two are inextricably linked.
