Summer Reset, 30 Days, 30 Actions.

At the onset of our annual 21-day challenge this past January, I offered up a post that

proposed thinking small, 41 primal action items and individual experiments for success in 2017.

The idea here wasn't shrinking our scope to the exclusion of big visioning, but homing in on the

day-to-day aims we can set for ourselves that make the big changes happen. I think June is a good

time to revisit the premise, and to host another 21-day experience for those more inspired in the

summer months. For several weeks now,

we've all seen the calls for swimsuit season. And while that's not a bad motivation in

and of itself to make positive changes, it's hardly the reason to feel spurred to a primal reset.

In January, it's easy to get caught up in the stir around turning over a new leaf.

This year is the year I'm turning my entire life around, and maybe it is.

But for some people, that aim ends up feeling too big and distant, and their ambition is short-lived.

This time of year, however, at least for me, it's easier to think about a challenge

in more immediate terms. I've honestly seen people more inspired by the closer-in question,

what kind of summer do I want to enjoy? There's an automatic framework implied here. It's not

about what one should do, but what one wants to do.

It's less about living a healthy life than living up the good life,

summer's specialty.

So what kind of summer do you want for yourself?

Take a moment and really ask this.
