Why Did I Stop?

To say it abstractly, upon completing DCLF and finishing my film my life went through a new phase of change and realignment that was unexpected, but in many ways a direct result of the momentum I built through this practice and through a growth experience in the year-long DCLF program. It is a different story for a different day, but in the end I was in a place that involved simultaneous destruction and construction. It was a delicate time and for some reason my energy shifted away from this practice. I instead used a simple daily checklist of:

Sleep
Sweat every day
Never eat junk food as a meal
No alcohol

It was a basic protocol, but provided the stability and consistency of emotional state necessary for what I was trying to navigate. I think it was the right choice. I would say it is akin to how you step when you have been running at full speed and find yourself on ice. Which is to say, “carefully”.
