Hi Reader!

What does it look like to “level up” in life?

I’m assuming you want to level up, right?

Next level at work. Next level of peace. Next level of love. Next level of abundance. Next level of fitness.

Do you know how you actually level up?

“Start doing things you don’t normally do towards the desire you want to achieve.”

Now when I say don’t normally do, that might mean doing completely different things, but it can also mean doing the same things in a different way.

Like at the gym.

You lift a certain way, move in a certain pattern, talk to the same people, leave the same way.

If you do chest, back, arms, legs on rotation… jog on the treadmill. Hit the stair climber.

Push the limits of your “normal” routine.

This can be scary. It can be uncomfortable.

This is the work.

Please, dear God, get uncomfortable on a regular basis.

Comfort is killing you inside and out.

Most people are just coping.

We’ve taken coping with comfort WAY TOO FAR.

A lot of people are in survival mode. They think if they can control their outer world, they can calm their inner world. They think if they don’t have an “episode” or a “breakdown,” they are winning. They are okay.

But this is a slow death.

A low-level misery of managing life instead of living it.

We are being drained of energy by the society we accept and perpetuate.

Distracted from our own attention.

Given every vice possible to pacify us.

Say it with me... "NO MORE!"

I WANT TO FEEL LIFE.

If I can’t feel success, abundance, peace, love, and happiness, then I want to feel the misery and emptiness of life’s depravity.

The worst place to be is in between.

No man’s land. Numb and on the hamster wheel.

Here’s what I mean.

This morning I was clicking on all cylinders. Ideas were flowing. I was writing. Then I got this loaded oatmeal. Instantly pacified. Ideas slowed. The channel to Source closed.

I watched my brain waves shift from fourth-dimensional thoughts to the third dimension. They were coming from the Great Beyond, from the field. Right brain. Then they started coming from the third dimension of matter, the analytical mind. Left brain.

And once I ate that, more thoughts of more food came.

“Go eat some more. Block the flow. Go into oblivion, Casey.”

That slip into the middle. No man’s land. The barren land where nothing changes. Where we get fat and lazy and dumb. Haha.

You know this feeling.

You get a hit of inspiration, a spark, an idea, a moment of clarity where you can actually see the version of you that you’re becoming. It feels real. It feels possible.

And then… you reach for something familiar.

The snack. The scroll. The Netflix binge. The comfortable routine that has never once moved you forward.

Not because you’re weak, but because the nervous system defaults to what it knows. Familiar feels like safety, even when familiar is a cage.

And just like that, the vision fades. The frequency drops. You’re back to managing instead of becoming.

The inspiration wasn’t gone, you just traded it for comfort.

And comfort handed you the same day you had yesterday.

We’re being sold the easy route:

• Food
• Vape / tobacco / liquor / drugs
• Streaming dumb content we think is awesome
• Music that makes us mindless
• Entertainment, sex, porn
• Material things we think define us, brands, status
• Bars, clubs, casinos, empty purpose and a false sense of belonging
• The promotion of individualism
• The mandate to escape feeling

We must CHOOSE to live well:

• Healthy food
• Move your body every day
• Let go of most preferences about how things need to be
• Let go of constant comfort
• Gather in community
• Feel your feelings
• Focus on long-term gratification, build and create (not resisting the easy route, but changing your focus entirely)
• Learn to sit with it

Much love on your journey,

Casey
