Here’s the transcript:

“Dear Santa, I can explain.”? Embroidered on a Christmas stocking

?It’s December 23 as I write this. The energy I feel this morning is exactly what I want to offer to you.

We all have the energy, it’s just a matter of uncovering it or finding it amongst the dust or clutter within ourselves. I strive to help you find yours.

Thus, this book. Thus, this section of this book.

I have energy because I’m ridiculously and unabashedly excited about what I will share with you in this book.

In a nutshell, this is a meta example of exactly what I hope you experience: you create one thing and it leads to another. Just as what you’re reading now would not have come into existence had I not started with the other thing.

So let’s get that first thing done for you.

The One-Word Book?

It’s December. It’s almost the new year. Some people like to make New Year’s resolutions or create a theme for the coming year. I like a single word.

What if you found that one word for you for the coming year and put it into a book? Sounds simple, right? Just a single word. One word = one chapter = one book. Done and (probably) fun, right?

I’ve done it already (The One-Word-Long Book that Will Probably Change Your Life) and I’ll do it again and again. In fact, I’ll do it every single year. But who cares about me? This book (the one in your hands and the one you’re going to write) is about you.

Do you have your word for the coming year? And if it’s not still December or January, do you have your word for the year anyway? Are you living it? Did you write it down on a napkin? Do you still have the napkin? Or is it more that you know the word but you haven’t shared it with anyone else?

What if, dream with me here, we solidified that word for the coming year? What if we created a book, a single-word book, that was your book for the coming year? Can you feel, can you imagine how that would probably increase the chances of success that this word would become your mantra for the year?

In this section of this book, we’re going to lay out the exact steps to get this one-word book started and finished—and why to do it.

If you think it’s just one word and you’re done, keep reading.

PRO TIP: It’s going to be the Epilogue where the power lives.

Bradley

Here are the steps to starting and completing your one-word book. Each step will be described in more detail in the coming chapters.

2. Subtitle?
3. Cover?
4. Epigraph?

So, you’ve written a book—or at least you’re deep in the trenches of writing one. Maybe you’ve spent months (or years) crafting your manuscript, pouring your heart and soul onto the page. Now, you’re wondering…

? Is my book ready to publish?

? Do I really need an editor?

? Can’t I just proofread it myself or have a friend take a look?

If you’ve ever had these thoughts, you’re not alone. Many writers wrestle with whether hiring an editor is worth it, especially in the self-publishing world. In my recent interview with Rebecca, a professional editor and book doctor, we dug deep into the role of editing—why it’s more than just fixing typos and why skipping this step could cost you readers (and sales).

Rebecca will be speaking at the StoryHouse Works conference in Amsterdam on March 20th, where she and a panel of editors will help writers understand how to refine their manuscripts and ensure their books align with their goals, audience, and message. Whether you’re publishing fiction or nonfiction, these insights could be the missing piece in your book’s success.

The Biggest Editing Myths Writers Believe (And Why They’re Wrong)

? Myth #1: “I Can Just Edit It Myself”

Sure, you can edit your own book, but should you? Editing isn’t just about spotting typos—it’s about ensuring clarity, consistency, and reader engagement. An experienced editor sees what you can’t: pacing issues, character inconsistencies, weak transitions, and even parts of the book that might confuse readers.

Rebecca shared that even bestselling authors work with professional editors because they know a fresh pair of eyes makes all the difference.

? Myth #2: “I’ll Just Have My Friend Read It”

It’s great to have beta readers, but there’s a huge difference between getting casual feedback and working with a professional editor. Friends and family may not be able to provide objective, constructive criticism—or they may not have the expertise to spot deeper structural issues in your writing.

Editors, on the other hand, aren’t just there to fix your book—they collaborate with you to make it stronger. They challenge your ideas, help you align your book with your goals, and guide you through the tough decisions that will elevate your manuscript.

? Myth #3: “Editing Is Just for Grammar and Spelling”

Editing goes way beyond fixing commas and typos. Rebecca specializes in developmental editing and book doctoring, which means she helps authors with:

?? Big-picture storytelling – Does the structure make sense? Are the ideas clear?

?? Audience alignment – Is this book actually written for the reader you’re targeting?

?? Clarity & Flow – Does each chapter naturally lead to the next?

?? Refining the message – Does your book align with your WHY?

Think of an editor like a personal trainer for your book—helping it get in shape before it goes out into the world.

Your Book Is a Reflection of You—Make It the Best It Can Be

If you’re publishing a book to establish credibility, build your business, or attract speaking gigs, your book is your brand. As I discussed with Rebecca, marketing and selling a book is so much easier when the foundation is solid.

In fact, Janet Margo, an Amazon publishing expert who worked in Amazon’s book department for over a decade, says:

“Advertising will enhance whatever is currently happening with your book. If your book is amazing, ads will amplify that. If your book is weak, ads will just highlight its flaws.”

That’s why working with an editor before you publish is so important—because you want to make sure your book is the strongest version of itself before you invest in marketing.

Join Us at the StoryHouse Works Conference in Amsterdam!

Final Thoughts

Editing isn’t about changing your voice or making your book “commercial.” It’s about making sure your message is clear, your ideas are strong, and your readers stay engaged from page one to the last word.

Whether you’re writing fiction, nonfiction, or a business book, a good editor can help you reach more readers and make a bigger impact.

Have you ever felt like you were standing on the edge of something big—something calling you forward—but instead of stepping into it… you hesitated?

Maybe you told yourself:

I’m not ready yet.

I need more experience.

I need more time.

But what if confidence isn’t something you find?

What if it’s something you build—one decision at a time?

In today’s episode, we’re going deeper—not just into the idea of confidence, but into the energy of it. Because confidence isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about trusting yourself enough to take the first step… even before you feel ready.

We’ll talk about:

? Why confidence isn’t something you earn—it’s something you step into.

? The power of taking imperfect action and why it rewires your brain.

? A simple mindset shift that will break through hesitation instantly.

? What I’ve learned from watching people take one small, playful step… and transform their entire lives.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.

You’re not just ready—you were always ready.

? Grab a quiet moment, take a deep breath, and let’s talk about what happens when you choose confidence.

? After you listen, I’d love to hear from you—what’s one action you’re committing to today? Send me a message or share your thoughts in the comments!

How One Person’s Journey Through Fasting and Feasting Reveals the Secret to Sustainable Well-Being

We all ride the pendulum between indulgence and discipline—feasting and fasting, excess and restraint. But what if balance wasn’t a destination, but an ongoing process? In this reflective journey, we dive into the personal experience of someone who’s embraced both ends of the spectrum, experimenting with fasting to unlock consistent energy, mental clarity, and a sense of equilibrium in their life. Through trial and error, they’ve found a rhythm that works—a balance between structure and freedom, discipline and enjoyment. This is not about rigid rules or extreme commitments—it’s about finding what truly nourishes you on every level.

Are you ready to redefine your relationship with food, energy, and personal growth? Let’s explore the balance together.Bradley Charbonneau discusses his personal experiences with fasting and feasting, specifically reflecting on his dietary habits from late 2024 into early 2025. He acknowledges a period of overindulgence and expresses his goal to achieve balance in his life, particularly between fasting and feasting, as a personal aim for 2025. He emphasizes the positive impacts of fasting on his energy levels and overall well-being, while disclaiming any medical advice and urging listeners to consult professionals. Charbonneau shares his intention to reintroduce intermittent fasting into his routine and invites others to join him. He also mentions testing a new Hollyand microphone and seeks feedback on the audio quality. The biographical information simply confirms that Bradley Charbonneau is the male author.

Hey there! It’s Fast Friday, and today I’m reflecting on the balance between feasting and fasting—something I haven’t exactly nailed these past few months. ?

Alex: Did you listen to Bradley Charbonneau’s latest episode? He talks about creativity like it’s a rhythm you can tap into rather than something that just happens randomly.

Jordan: Yeah! I love how he frames creativity as a skill you develop through habits and rituals, not just a lightning bolt of inspiration.

Alex: Exactly. And he says everyone has creativity—it’s just that it moves in cycles. Some days, weeks, or even seasons are naturally more creative than others.

Jordan: That part really hit me. He challenges people to figure out when they’re at their creative peak and actually schedule creative work during those times.

Alex: Totally! He even shares his own routine—how he’s at his most creative early in the morning. Makes me wonder when my best creative energy hits.

Jordan: Same here. He encourages listeners to track their patterns and lean into those high-energy moments. It’s such a simple shift, but it could make a huge difference.

Alex: I might start paying attention to my creative rhythms now. When do you think your best ideas happen?

Speaker: Bradley Charbonneau

[ https://youtu.be/B3sZWrkVMEc ]

Summary:

This audio recording focuses on identifying and harnessing one’s peak creative energy times, establishing routines and rituals to foster creativity, and understanding the cyclical nature of creative inspiration. Charbonneau emphasizes that everyone possesses creativity, but it’s essential to be aware of when it’s at its height and learn to capture and utilize it.

Key Themes and Ideas:

• Creativity as a Habit: Charbonneau challenges the notion of creativity as a spontaneous event. He argues for the importance of creating rituals and habits to ignite creativity, referencing (possibly inaccurately) a quote from Stephen King: “Yeah, it’s amazing. You know, when asked when I get creativity or when I am sparked for inspiration, it magically happens every morning at 6:00.” The key takeaway is to actively cultivate creativity rather than waiting for inspiration to strike.
• Recognizing and Utilizing Peak Creative Times: The core message revolves around identifying one’s most creative periods (daily, weekly, monthly, annually) and actively capitalizing on them. “When is your creative time? And here’s my takeaway for this morning. What action are you going to take?” Sharono asks listeners to consider when they feel most creative and what steps they are taking to leverage that heightened state.
• Harnessing Creative Energy: Recognizing peak creative times is only the first step. Charbonneau stresses the importance of harnessing that energy: “What are you doing about it? Are you taking some notes? Are you creating something. Are you some way sort of what’s the word I’m looking for? It’s like capturing there we go capturing or collecting that extreme energy, that heightened state of awareness and creativity…” This involves actively capturing or collecting the ideas and energy that flow during those periods.
• Embrace the Cycles of Creativity: Charbonneau emphasizes the cyclical nature of creativity and energy, drawing on Esther Hicks’s ideas: “Esther Hicks talks about con past you know there must be darkness for there to be light there must be sadness for there to be joy and I tend to agree so I don’t want every minute of every day to be this creative you know fire hose of of creation for me I would go nuts…” This suggests accepting that creative flow isn’t constant and that periods of low creativity are necessary for peak periods to occur. He stresses the importance of not trying to force creativity outside of peak times.
• Rituals and Schedules as Catalysts: Charbonneau advocates for creating fixed schedules and routines to remove decision fatigue and anxiety about creative output. He mentions his “Thursday Thunder” (weekly video recording) and a monthly newsletter as examples: “That means every single Thursday, I’m recording a video. Every 17th of the month, I’m sending a newsletter. It’s very simple and it removes any of the decision- making or and again, this is going to sound weird, but the stress or anxiety about, oh, gee, when am I going to do my newsletter? When am I going to do my weekly broadcast?”
• Self-Awareness and Confidence: Charbonneau underscores the importance of self-awareness in understanding one’s own creative patterns and building confidence in one’s ability to be creative. “And for me, frankly, a lot of it comes down to it’s it’s really about confidence.” He shares his own experience of being most creative in the morning and less so in the evenings.
• Training and Consistency: The speaker posits that it is possible to train your body and mind to be more creative at certain times: “Don’t allow yourself to even try to be creative or try to be that heightened state, that flow state. if you will, at other times in the day. I mean, sure, it might come up sometimes, but we can train our bodies, we can train our minds and our creativity to be awakened and enlightened and heightened at those times.” Consistency can, therefore, be built with routine and consistency.

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Identify your peak creative times (daily, weekly, monthly, annually).
2. Create rituals and routines to foster creativity during those times.
3. Actively capture and utilize the energy and ideas generated during peak creative periods.
4. Accept the cyclical nature of creativity and avoid forcing it outside of peak times.
5. Build confidence in your own creative abilities.
6. Establish fixed schedules to minimize decision fatigue around creative tasks.
7. Cement the time and date as regular to reduce anxiety around missing the time.

The Lightning of New Ideas

As we navigate through our creative endeavors, it’s essential to reflect on what has worked for us in the past. What ideas have you had that sparked joy and success? More importantly, what have you stopped doing that once brought you fulfillment? My name is Bradley Charbonneau, and I’m here to share my own creative journey and how I’ve learned to embrace new ideas while letting go of perfectionism.

It’s early 2025, and I find myself constantly bombarded with new ideas. This can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, the excitement of new concepts is invigorating; on the other, it often leads me to abandon previous projects. The key is to find a balance between nurturing new ideas and revisiting the ones that have worked well in the past.

Why Write Your “Worst Book Ever”?

One of the most impactful programs I’ve developed is called “How to Write Your Worst Book Ever.” This concept emerged from my experience with writers who often struggle with perfectionism. The fear of not producing a “great” piece can paralyze creativity and lead to procrastination. So, I flipped the script and encouraged writers to focus on what they shouldn’t do instead.

Breaking Down the Concept

The premise is simple: by embracing the idea of writing something intentionally “bad,” you can liberate yourself from the constraints of perfectionism. This exercise allows you to laugh at yourself and take risks without the fear of judgment. It’s not about publishing this “worst book” but rather about completing a project and experiencing the joy of creation.

Who Is This For?

This program is perfect for anyone who feels stuck in their writing journey, whether it’s your first book or your fortieth. The goal is to help you finish something, celebrate that achievement, and build the confidence to tackle future projects. By completing a “worst book,” you will feel a sense of accomplishment that can propel you to greater heights in your creative endeavors.

Pros of Writing Your Worst Book Ever

• It’s liberating: You can write without the pressure of perfection.
• It fosters creativity: You might discover new ideas while trying to be “bad.”
• It builds confidence: Completing any project boosts your self-esteem.
• It sparks conversations: Sharing your “worst book” can be a fun icebreaker at events.

Creating Fun and Engaging Conversations

At writers’ conferences, one of the first questions you might encounter is, “What are you working on?” If you’re hesitant about your current project, it can be tough to answer. But what if you could say, “I’m working on the history of socks in the dryer”? This playful response not only lightens the mood but also opens the door for engaging conversations.

Many writers tend to be introverted, and breaking the ice can be challenging. By discussing your “worst book ever,” you create a unique and humorous talking point that can lead to deeper connections with fellow writers and attendees.

How to Get Started with Your “Worst Book Ever”

Getting started on this journey is easier than you might think. Here are a few steps to help you dive into writing your “worst book ever”:

1. Set a low bar: Allow yourself to write poorly. Don’t worry about grammar, structure, or coherence.
2. Choose a ridiculous topic: Write about something absurd or humorous to keep the pressure off.
3. Allocate time: Dedicate a specific time each day to write, even if it’s just for ten minutes.
4. Share your progress: Discuss your journey with friends or fellow writers to keep you motivated.

Understanding the Power of Breakthroughs

Throughout this process, keep in mind two key words: breakthrough and confidence. Your “worst book ever” is not just an exercise in creativity; it’s a stepping stone to overcoming barriers that have held you back. As you complete this project, you’ll find yourself more willing to tackle larger and more serious works.

Moreover, the act of finishing something—no matter how trivial—can instill a sense of achievement that fuels your desire to create more. You’ll find that once you have completed this “worst book,” the fear of starting new projects diminishes significantly.

Final Thoughts

In the end, the journey of creativity is all about exploration and self-discovery. Writing your “worst book ever” is a playful yet profound way to break free from the shackles of perfectionism. So, embrace the chaos, laugh at your mistakes, and let your creativity flow. Remember, every great book started as a rough draft, and your “worst book” could be the catalyst for your next masterpiece.

How to Write Your “Worst Book Ever” — and Why You Should

Here We Go !

It’s February 17th, 2025. You’ve had six weeks to make some decisions about your year. So, how are things going? If you’re like most people, you might feel a bit behind. But guess what? It’s never too late to make a change!

Hey, I’m Bradley Charbonneau, and today, I want to talk about the power of decision-making. Specifically, I want to dive into how making decisions can help create habits that reduce stress and anxiety, ultimately leading to a happier life with more free time.

The Importance of Decisions

Decisions are the foundation of our habits. I’m not really a New Year’s resolutions guy; I’m more of a calendar guy. That might sound boring, but it works for me! The key is to decide what you can do daily, weekly, or monthly that can challenge you while also being enjoyable.

For instance, I write a newsletter every 17th of the month. This is an example of a decision I made a long time ago. I chose this date because it holds personal significance for me—it’s my special number. You might not have a number like that, but find something that resonates with you and make it your own!

What Can You Commit to?

Let’s think about what you can decide right now that you won’t have to think about again for the rest of the year. This could free up mental energy and reduce anxiety. For instance, I decided to create a YouTube short every day last year. It’s a small commitment, but it adds up over time.

Think about it: what’s something tiny that you can incorporate into your daily routine? Maybe it’s as simple as drinking more water or taking a short walk. The goal is to make it a habit, something you do without overthinking it.

Building Habits

Building habits is like brushing your teeth. You didn’t really decide as a child to brush your teeth; your parents made that decision for you. Now, it’s just part of your routine. What can we build into our lives that becomes just as automatic?

If you’re groaning at the idea of more commitments, I get it. But let’s add some excitement! Choose something that challenges you but is also fun. If your goal is to go to the gym every week, maybe instead, choose an activity you genuinely enjoy, like dancing or hiking.

Finding Balance

Finding balance is crucial. You want something that brings you joy, but also something that’s a bit challenging. Think about it: if you choose something too easy, like eating a donut every week, the joy wears off quickly. Instead, let’s make a decision that’s meaningful and will enrich your life.

For instance, I have my “Thursday Thunder” series where I post a video every Thursday. I made this commitment on January 1, 2020, and it has been rewarding. Some of these habits will stick with you beyond the year, while others might serve their purpose and then fade away.

How Many Habits Do You Want?

Now, think about how many of these commitments you want by the end of the year. Would you prefer 365 small wins, 52 weekly victories, or 12 monthly milestones? What are you excited to create? Remember, the positive emotion of completing a goal should outweigh any temporary discomfort you feel while working on it.

Have you considered writing a chapter of a book each month? By the end of the year, you’d have twelve chapters! Easy peasy, right? Or perhaps you want to start a blog or a podcast. Whatever it is, the important thing is to decide now and stick with it.

Conclusion: Celebrate Your Success

As we wrap up, I encourage you to think about the decisions you can make today that will pave the way for a happier, more fulfilling life. Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small, and keep moving forward!

Let me know what you decide to commit to this year! You can share your thoughts in the comments or reach out to me. I’d love to hear about your journey.

FAQs

What if I struggle to stick to my commitments?

It’s normal to struggle at first. Start small and gradually build up. Consistency is key, and over time, it will become easier.

How do I choose the right habits to form?

Choose habits that resonate with you personally. They should challenge you but also bring you joy. Think about what excites you!

Can I change my commitments throughout the year?

Absolutely! Life changes, and so can your goals. Feel free to reassess and modify your commitments as needed.

In this episode of Repossible, we delve into the intricate dance between intuition, logic, and the evolving role of AI in decision-making. Join us as we explore a compelling conversation between mathematician Bradley Charbonneau and AI expert Fiona Passantino, who share their contrasting yet enlightening approaches to making choices. Discover how our gut feelings often clash with logical reasoning, and learn about the brain’s mechanisms that drive these instincts.

Fiona’s vivid analogy of a rustle in the bushes illustrates the primal instinct to react before our rational mind can process the situation. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, information overload can drown out that inner voice, yet Bradley encourages us to retrain our intuition through practices like meditation. Together, they reveal how tuning into our subconscious can lead to more fulfilling decisions, even those as significant as relocating to a new country

As the discussion unfolds, we examine how AI can complement our decision-making process, particularly in data-driven scenarios. While AI excels at analyzing trends and providing clarity, it lacks the emotional intelligence that defines our human experiences. This episode challenges us to find a balance between leveraging technology and trusting our instincts, ultimately empowering us to make choices that resonate with our values.

Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of intuition, logic, and AI, and discover how these elements can work in harmony to guide you through life’s big decisions.

Imagine standing amidst a wet, rainy forest, feeling the chill of the air while contemplating the intricacies of decision-making. That’s precisely what I was doing recently, pondering over how decisions shape our lives. It’s a topic that has occupied much of my thoughts as I work on my book, program, and the Now What?! challenge.

The Spectrum of Decisions

Decisions vary immensely, from choosing between a burger or a salad to contemplating a move to France. They span personal, professional, and even existential realms, influenced by factors like age, gender, and context. Understanding how people make these choices is vital, and I’m eager to gather stories that illuminate this process.

Seeking Stories

Stories of past decisions, their impacts, and the lessons learned can help us all make better choices in the future. If you have insights or anecdotes to share, I would love to hear them. Perhaps you’d even like to join me on my podcast for a discussion.

Decision-Making and Confidence

Recently, I attended an event that explored the intersection of confidence and AI in decision-making. Confidence undeniably affects how we make decisions. The more confident we are, the more decisive we become. The event highlighted how AI can serve as a tool in this process, providing data analysis that aids in making informed decisions.

The Role of AI

AI can analyze and project data, helping us navigate the “now what?” moments in life. Imagine feeding AI all the necessary data about a decision, and then receiving guidance based on that analysis. It’s a fascinating prospect that aligns with my vision of integrating AI into our decision-making frameworks.

The Mind, Heart, and Gut

While AI offers analytical prowess, our innate decision-makers—the mind, heart, and gut—play crucial roles too. I envision creating AI agents that embody these aspects, each with distinct qualities and data, to assist in decision-making. It’s an ambitious idea, and I’m eager to explore its feasibility.

Building Personal AI Agents

These AI agents would uniquely represent the analytical mind, the emotive heart, and the intuitive gut. By combining these elements, we could develop a comprehensive decision-making aid. This project could eventually extend to helping others create personalized AI agents for their decision-making needs.

Routine Decisions and Brain Power

Decisions, big or small, consume brain power. By reducing trivial daily choices, like what to wear, we can conserve mental energy for more significant decisions. This concept is exemplified by figures like Barack Obama, who reportedly wore the same suit to minimize decision fatigue.

Shaking Up Routines

To counteract routine monotony, I adopt small changes, like opening doors differently each time. These minor decisions subtly alter my day, fostering a dynamic approach to life. This practice aligns with strategies proposed by Joe Dispenza, urging us to break free from autopilot modes.

The Power of Commitment

In 2020, I committed to recording a video every Thursday, a decision that eliminated the need to decide weekly whether to create content. Such commitments streamline decision-making, freeing up mental resources for other pursuits.

In conclusion, decision-making is a multifaceted process influenced by confidence, data, and our intrinsic faculties. By understanding and optimizing these elements, we can enhance our decision-making capabilities. Join me in this exploration, and perhaps you’ll find your own answers to the perennial question: “Now what?”

Until next time, stay curious and keep deciding.

Happy Thanksgiving.

A Thanksgiving Tale, 2024

(In the style of “The Night Before Christmas”)

‘Twas the morn of Thanksgiving, and all through my mind,
Were the moments and memories this year left behind.
From travels afar to lands near and wide,
I’m grateful for journeys and joy by my side.

From Biarritz breezes to Prague’s cobbled streets,
Germany’s charm and Austin’s warm greets.
San Francisco’s hills, San Diego’s shore,
Phoenix and Vegas—I couldn’t ask for more.

But it’s not just the places, the sights, or the scenes,
It’s the friends I’ve embraced, the moments between.
For old ties rekindled and new bonds begun,
I’m thankful for friendships, each and every one.

As family grows distant in time or in place,
We weave friends as family, a bond to embrace.
While parents and elders pass through life’s door,
Their lessons and love stay with us evermore.

My wife finds her joy in the work she holds dear,
And my youngest explores Italy’s wonders this year.
My eldest plans boldly, his path to commence,
A move to the States—what an exciting suspense!

This year brought transitions, a dance with the past,
Yet the present’s a gift, and the future’s a vast
Canvas of moments, both measured and free,
With Kairos and Chronos, guiding time’s sea.

The Magician and Mathematician combine,
Enchanting the moments with rhythm and line.
For math gives us order, and magic the thrill,
Together they weave time’s tapestry still.

I’m thankful for purpose, for helping others create,
To spark their first work and unlock their fate.
A single word shared can transform and ignite,
Into pages and stories that bring dreams to light.

I’m an instigator, a catalyst, a guide,
Helping others discover the strength they’ve inside.
A trigger for change, a beginner’s best friend,
Who nudges them forward to where they can ascend.

So perhaps this next year, with its dreams and its tragic,
Will center on one word: simply “magic.”
Or maybe “magical”—both feel quite right,
To capture life’s wonder, its joy, and its light.

And so on this day, I give thanks from my core,
For love, for creation, for what lies in store.
For the past, for the present, for what’s yet to be,
Happy Thanksgiving—to you, and to me.?

A Personal Note to Your (Maybe Not Quite as Awesome) Future Self

Feeling energized, focused, and healthy doesn’t always come from eating more—it can come from eating differently.

My Journey to a Better Place

In this week’s episode of Fast Friday, Bradley Charbonneau shares a personal message to his future self. After 52 days of cutting out carbs, he’s not only lost weight but also found a surprising burst of energy. More than just a diet story, this journey is about clarity, creativity, and rediscovering a zest for life—simply by changing how and when we eat.

Can Eating Less Give You More Energy?

It might sound counterintuitive, but Bradley explains how skipping meals and focusing on nourishing smoothies has given him more energy, not less. His simple, nutrient-packed smoothies—like one made with spinach, protein powder, and mint—fuel him in a way that keeps him feeling light and focused. And yes, he still enjoys a little indulgence, like a spoonful of peanut butter from Trader Joe’s, because balance is key!

More Than Just Food

The benefits go beyond diet. With newfound energy, Bradley’s been creating more than ever. From recording weekly podcasts and videos to launching a tech series aimed at simplifying complex tools, his creative output has soared. His message? Sometimes simplifying your diet can simplify your life, unlocking energy and focus for what matters most.

Take a Moment to Reflect

This episode is about more than food—it’s about personal reflection and checking in with yourself, especially when things get tough. Bradley’s story shows how a simple change can lead to a big transformation. Whether you’re just curious or looking for a fresh start, his experience offers insight into how less can sometimes lead to more—more energy, more creativity, and more fulfillment.

Below is my newsletter, “The 17th” that comes out every month on the … 17th.

Greetings from Driebergen,

I promised I wouldn’t write about my no-carb, juice-fasting diet (that I’ve been on for 7 weeks), so I won’t do that …  If you wanna know more, you’ll like this.

I’m super excited today to launch “Tiny Tech Tuesday” where I will post a tech tips video every Tuesday for the next 222 weeks–or 222 uploads, whichever comes first. 

From personal finance to meditation, writing to publishing, marketing to social media, I’ll share my deepest and darkest tech secrets with you. Most of the tips are geared towards saving money or time–or both. Many get into making money–maybe a side hustle or earning commissions on products you would have bought anyway. With the added bonus that I will surgically remove the need for you to decidewhich software or app or tool or service to use for a certain challenge. 

One of my favorite tips is when I can find a tool that has a one-time “lifetime” fee as compared to a monthly fee into eternity. 

Why am I doing this? 

When people know you’re good at a thing, they ask you for your opinion. I’ve had so many requests (from clients, friends, family, etc.) over the years that I’ve been wanting to build a collection of all of my tech knowledge so I can … send them there and can, you know, get back to dinner.

I’m also doing it because my 3 business coaches have been telling me the same thing: 

1. Do what I love (well, duh) but also “respond to the invitation.” In other words, LISTEN to what my clients (and friends and colleagues) are asking me–and answer.
2. Do what’s easy and fun for me. Tech is both easy and fun for me.
3. Do it.

It’s not just about writing and publishing. I’ll be sharing tons of “regular life” tips in there, too. Think international bank transfers, multi-currency bank accounts, meditation apps, AI tools that have been changing how I work (and play!), etc. I’m going to have fun doing it. I can tell by the energy I feel even writing this newsletter!

I share a teaser video below and you can access the course here: TTT. In typical 17th and Thursday Thunder fashion, there’s a ridiculous coupon code I mention towards the end of the video. 

But only for the first Twenty Two people who sign up.

Happy 17th!

Keep creating,

Bradley

P.S. No, I’m never going to stop with wordplay and alliteration. Hey, I’m a writer!

Bradley and Susan are podcasting from Utrecht, Netherlands

Bradley Charbonneau: Hi, Susan.

Susan: Hey, Bradley. Here we are.

Bradley Charbonneau: So, this is a podcast. No video here. You know, we’ll take a picture. But we are in a gorgeous center of Utrecht, sitting on a canal on a bench.

Susan: Our favorite places.

Bradley Charbonneau: Glorious September day, blue sky, white puffy clouds. What more could we want? Well, maybe that apartment.

Susan: Right.

Kairos and Chronos are greek words related to time

Bradley Charbonneau: So, we’re here today. You are going to drill me. I mean, question me about my upcoming project, because it’s a biggie. And I’ve got it kind of clear in my own head that’s usually, early in the morning. So I want to get it clear with you and to talk about, how, you potentially could be involved and other people listening could be involved, either as participants of this group of 27 people.

Susan: Yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: Or in some other. Some other capacity. Yeah.

Susan: Yeah. Okay, so tell me more about the idea.

Bradley Charbonneau: Okay, so this, Actually, I don’t know if I told you this, but this whole. The whole idea came from the one word book in person workshop.

Susan: Oh, awesome.

Bradley Charbonneau: where I started out the morning, I took everybody outside. I said, all right, away from the computers, we’re going outside. And I explained the difference between kairos time and kronos time.

Susan: Okay.

Bradley Charbonneau: And I said, dear people, today we are going to have some Kairos time, meaning we are going to have some. So Kairos is greek. Both kairos and Chronos are greek words, and they both have something to do with time. Chronos is the easier one to understand. It’s the normal time. It’s 1 second, two second, 3 seconds. Like a clock. Like days, months, whatever. That’s all Kronos regular time. Tick tock, tick tock.

Susan: Okay.

Bradley Charbonneau: Kairos time is, I like to call it sort of bending time or warping time. You know, we think as time is 1 second. Is 1 second. Well, is it right? Depends on what deep end we jump off of to understand time. But if you think about it, often, unfortunately, but often, there’s really traumatic times, events in our lives. Like for us Americans, it could be 911. So, for example, what happens is in this traumatic event, your mind sort of, your time slows down and you can remember detail. Like, I can remember I lived in San Francisco on Sutter street. It was morning. I was waking up, getting going on the day. And I remember we had this crappy tv on, like a cardboard box. We were literally just getting started. So I can imagine. I remember all those details of what was it, like, 20 plus years ago? Right?

Susan: Yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: So that’s an example of Cairo’s time. Wherever your mind slows down, you can gather more information, you can get more done in a weird way. And that was a negative example. There are also positive examples, of course, the birth of a baby or, certain events, or you’re on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, whatever. So positive times can also be Kairos times. For me. What I like about Kairos is that you can create Kairos times. For me, my favorite example is favorite practice is meditation. So for me, if I meditate 20 minutes in the morning, I like to say it’s like a ten x a ten times the power and content. So I can have 20 minutes in the morning, and that’s like 200 minutes of, regular m Kronos time work. So the main goal is kind of, I joke about the 25th hour. Not joke. Why should I joke the 25th hour of the day? And I kind of say I have the 25th hour in the day and I know how to get it.

Susan: Okay.

Bradley Charbonneau: So that’s kind of my salesy hookah line, there. If I could give you another hour in the day, would you like that? Right. And then just one more comment. Kronos and Kairos in the past week. Since you and I spoke last week, Susan.

I work with neurodivergent, intuitive people who run businesses

Yeah. I came back to sort of an old favorite of mine, which is the mathematician and the magician. So, clear connection there. Mathematician being Kronos and magician being Kairos. Mathematician is, you know, one plus one is two. Kairos is more, or, more magician is one plus one. Could be greater than two or three. Right. So that’s kind of the overall big picture. Right. and that’s the plan. And as you know, recently, it was really just a book idea. I think it could be and should be. And also, based on your input today, should really should be more than, quote, unquote, just a book.

Susan: Yeah, I like the idea because, what I see a lot, is I’m, you know, I work with neurodivergent, intuitive, spiritual type of people who are running businesses. And what I, you know, what I am intrigued by is the concept of time. Who created it? You know, we all agree upon it. Right?

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: But there are those times, whether it’s a meditation, a visualization, or, you know, just your imagination.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: You know, you go to different places or dreams or. Well, definitely when you’re dreaming.

Bradley Charbonneau: Right.

Susan: But, you know, but in the waking hours, and dreaming is good. It has its space, and it does help us do so much. But in the waking hours, like you said, when we do meditation, it’s like, even with five minutes, you come out and feel like an hour hitting that, if you’re really. So meditation sometimes is a little difficult for people to do, because they think they have to achieve no thought.

Bradley Charbonneau: Right.

Susan: I find with my group in particular, taking them on a visualization, and then it activates their imagination, which gives them information, and it brings them some sort of clarity.

Bradley Charbonneau: So you’re even helping other people sort of manipulate time. You’re increasing their time in a group setting.

Susan: Yes.

Bradley Charbonneau: That’s kind of cool.

Susan: We always start our sessions with a guided meditation because. And we did an interview not too long ago at a different canal in the Netherlands about Reiki.

Bradley Charbonneau: That’s right. Yeah.

Susan: And I have noticed when people come on a zoom, call, like they’ve just come off a conversation with their husband or their kids trying to go to bed, and you come in with that energy of, I’m here. I had to make it on time. Right.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah, yeah.

Susan: And then they bring all that into the space. And the best way to clear the space is to get everybody on the same frequency. I know. I like that word. So I’m gonna explain a little bit. What we do is, I just take them through a grounding type of meditation. They have to visualize the grounding. So usually it’s through their feet and have them grow roots from their feet into the ground. And because they’re actively doing something with neurodivergence, we need to have something to do or have, like, a prompt. and that really comes back with a lot of information. it helps.

Bradley Charbonneau: I like the prompt.

Susan: Yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: Because you’re right. I have the same. If. If I just listen to soft music or something.

Susan: Yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: I’m just gonna fly off onto Albert hine checklist, which is super Kronos.

Susan: Yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: And I don’t want chronos in my meditation. I can get that in my regular waking hours. I want Kairos.

Susan: Right. And so sometimes the visualization activating your third eye, your imagination in this way. And so, they’ll come back into the space, and it’s a totally different energy setting. Now I’m ready to take in what’s next. Cause I’m in this space.

Bradley Charbonneau: Nice.

Susan: And I’m here for this purpose. And it really brings everybody into the present moment. But they’re already, like, one client, one time fell asleep, and then she came back. She had all this energy.

Bradley Charbonneau: Oh, that’s cool.

Susan: Okay.

Bradley Charbonneau: But, you know, hey, you unzoom poking the screen. You. You wake up.

Susan: Okay. And we’re back.

Should you access Kairos when you’re stuck in a thought process

And we’re back. but then, like, sometimes I’ll do a visualization, like connecting with your business energy and things like that. And then they get like information about what they could not see before. Because if you’re stuck in a thought process about, for instance, a business.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah, I. Only a kid or a spouse, anything. Yeah.

Susan: And you think you should, if you have the word should in anything, that’s when you should access. Should access Kairos. Because, Kairos time for me is like a place of learning something different. Like getting out of the, Maybe the kronos. Yeah. The day to day grind kind of thought process. I think we’re talking about a couple of different things.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yes.

Susan: But it’s exciting because I know that’s the way people are exploring time. As I said to you before, time is an illusion.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: We won’t go too deep on that. But I love this idea.

You just said that you got people coming into your call at different frequencies

And so I want to hear more about how you want to shape it.

Bradley Charbonneau: So you just said something. So I think what we’re doing right now is exactly the path. I think this is step one in this 27 step process. I’ll explain the 27 steps in a minute, but exactly what we’re doing, it brings. I’m so visual. Right. And so you just mentioned in word audio here, you just said that you got people coming into your call. And this guy has talked with his spouse. And that one, she just was dealing with her kid. And they’re at different, how I see it, different frequencies or vibrations or resonance, and they come in and they’re all over the place. And I always talk about the old fashioned radio dial. And so that guy’s at 89.5 and she’s at 93.7. And you want them all at, 89.1.

Susan: Okay.

Bradley Charbonneau: And so you’re gonna open this up. You’re gonna open up the call and bring everybody into that same frequency. And I think, and I think this could, definitely be a, chapter of the book or an idea of the book of this. Bringing the, How could you say that? Like, bringing everybody into the same frequency and just think of the power of that.

Susan: Yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: And I really.

I’m looking for 27 people to talk about, 27 related topics

So, so you’re asking what I want to do with this? What I want to do with this is I want to. I am looking for 27 people to talk about, 27 related but different topics under the bigger idea of kairos and kronos and time. And then again, visual guy that I am and downloading messages guy that I am. I have, ah, seen or I’ve downloaded this clear structure which brings this into these three. I’m going to call them books, but they don’t have to be books, but these three bigger ideas, under Kairos and Kronos of energy, trajectory and frequency. So, you know, we’ve already, without mentioning those exact words, except for frequency we talked about. You did see frequency, but the other two, we said them without saying those words.

Susan: Right.

Bradley Charbonneau: And so just a yemenite and I. How I see it, I go very much in threes. One is Kairos, three is energy, trajectory, frequency. And then each one of those three has three subsections. Here’s where it goes crazy. But under those three are three more sort of action items or totems or, items. Chapters, really. I’m such a book guy. I think in like, here’s how I see it in book. I see the series name is Kairos. The book are the three energy, trajectory, frequency. Those are three book titles. Then there are three sections per book, and then there’s three chapters per section. So what happened is we just went from one to three to nine to 27. So that’s why we have 27 chapters of the book. And that’s why I want to have a chat with 27 people about. Yeah. I. On the 27 different elements of this bigger idea.

Susan: That’s cool. I think, like, it would be fascinating how we could each take that subject because I feel like it’s very much crossover. I could do it all day.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: Like getting everybody on the same frequency. You could call it vibration.

Bradley Charbonneau: Right.

Susan: I’m harmonizing the energy. Harmonize so that we can all be in the same frequency. Vibration, energy.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: Let people call it energy. You can see how this crosses over.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: What, I’m doing in that ten minutes is setting a space that we all can be together and synchronized. there still might be a tape running in the background, but they’re a little bit more focused in.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Susan: And then just like us, right, we have people walking by and everything. You can probably hear it, but we’re here focused in just on this topic.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah, yeah.

Susan: And that means, I mean, I have an expansive, sensitive mind that pulls in all of the stimulus. And so that’s why I do that with my group, because we’re all attention deficit disorder and all kinds of neurodivergencies and we’re thinking all the time and we have big ideas all the time. Today we’re just going to focus in on this. But the best way to do that is to ground together in that space. And I think with all of the technology and Internet stuff and noise, sometimes it’s really hard for us to do.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: But you’re slowing down time to be in one space together. That’s how it feels.

Bradley Charbonneau: So here’s a perfect, like, kind of meta example of, to answer your question, for the 27 ideas, by the way, the 27 ideas, I don’t have them all clearly in front of me. I have the one and the three, and I kind of have the nine, but the 27 I’m not sure of. And I want to discover them as we go along. For example, an idea you just brought in. I mean, you brought in several, but one of them I really like is the idea of the group sort of creating, a common frequency for a common goal.

Susan: Right.

Bradley Charbonneau: I think that’s really cool.

Susan: Yeah. And since we’re talking about Kairos time, I mean, we use Kronos to meet and schedule.

Bradley Charbonneau: That’s good.

Susan: And so we’re still playing with both.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah. We’re meeting at 03:00.

Susan: Yeah, yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: We’re meeting for an hour.

Susan: We’re gonna drop into the space.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah.

Susan: So it’s interesting what you’re doing, and I’d like to talk more about it or be a part of it, whatever, happens.

I want to say a little bit more about the business end of things

Bradley Charbonneau: I want to say a little bit more about the business end of things, because we were talking earlier about, I, mean, just to put it bluntly, money and revenue and stuff. And why. Is this all for fun? Or is. Is this like a business idea or what?

Susan: Yeah. How do you see this?

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah, so I see it, as a much bigger. I mean, also thanks to talking with you, much bigger idea than just books. I’m a writer in my heart, but I like creating bigger things. And as you said, I like having interviews. I like connecting with people. And I think, and this is a perfect example of Kairos just here on our little conversation on the bench here in Utrecht, we’ve already come up with. I mean, I can think of at least three potential chapter ideas.

Susan: Yeah, me too.

Bradley Charbonneau: And one for you. And maybe it’ll change. But I like this, finding the common frequency. So super cool.

Susan: Yeah.

Bradley Charbonneau: So the idea is to have a chat with more than 27 people, to find the 27 who are going to fit in this, bigger umbrella of ideas. And then I see books, for sure, just because sometimes a book guy. But then the interviews are going to be either it’s just the interview and it’s the. It’s a podcast or it’s a YouTube, or it’s something behind a paywall, and that these, these conversations are the bonus item or the upgrade item or whatever. And then you get the videos. I also could really see 27 cheat sheets or 27, you ever heard of pip decks? P I p. Oh, yeah. Like, it’s like a card deck, right? So I would love to have a card deck, like tarot cards, but this is a 27 cards and everybody’s gonna have their own card. So maybe another upgrade item would be the deck of 27, right. You have this beautiful image on the one side, and the other side is, I don’t know, the main elements or to do items or whatever that may be. That’s the kind, kind of stuff I want to build out. one more thing on this. I’m a techie guy, so I kind of geek out on this kind of stuff. But, so for example, and just if you’re listening, you’re thinking like, what’s, what is it, wiifm m or something? What’s in it for me? And I think, so techie guy that I am, m, if you put up, put this up on something like teachable, within teachable, there are affiliate links and affiliate codes, and we can make a tracking code where you have a special link. And so Susan here sends her link to her people, and then the people sign up through Susan’s link. Well, Susan would then get a larger percentage of the revenue, so that’s the financial incentive to share. And by the way, dear people of 27, I am serious about making this thing big, promoting it. So it’s not just come and have a chat for 30 minutes and you’re done forever. No, I want, I want you on my marketing team. I want this to be a team effort and a group effort, and I want you to love it. I want you to think this is awesome, and I’m so thrilled to be a part of it. And sure, let’s make some money. But I want it, I want it to come from the heart first.

Susan: Right.

Bradley Charbonneau: And then come up to the mind and make money on itself.

Susan: And in that way, you’re showcasing each of these people like me, what we can bring, not just to this conversation, but to what we do, you know, how we are doing our businesses or our services. That’s really cool.

Bradley Charbonneau: Yeah. and so in the interview, of course, you talk about stuff that you’re doing. Oh, what are you doing? These groups. Oh, what do you mean? You do this and you do that and what are these groups anyway? So it’ll also be exposure for you in your business.

Susan: Right.

Bradley Charbonneau: You know Deer 27, so.

Susan: Well, this is cool. I hope you can, I mean, I’m looking forward to where it goes. Okay. I don’t know if you had a call.

Bradley Charbonneau: Good. then this has been awesome. And, so, also in. I’m very much into short nonfiction books and also shorter audio and shorter video. So I see we’re under 20 minutes, and let’s keep it that way. And, Susan, we’re just going to continue this conversation again later date. Thanks for being here.

Susan: Thanks.

Bradley Charbonneau: Bye, Bradley.

Susan: Okay, now we’re going to see how far I got. I got a little far down.

Fasting has been practiced for centuries for various reasons, including religious observance, health benefits, and personal growth. While many are familiar with the potential weight loss and metabolic advantages of fasting, fewer people are aware of its profound impact on sleep quality. As someone currently on day 24 of a juice fast, I’ve experienced remarkable improvements in my sleep patterns and overall well-being that I’m eager to share.

Falling Asleep with Ease

One of the most noticeable changes since beginning my fast has been the ease with which I fall asleep. Gone are the nights of tossing and turning, trying to quiet my mind. Instead, I find myself drifting off quickly and effortlessly. This could be attributed to the reduction in digestive activity, allowing the body to relax more fully as it prepares for sleep.

Reduced Sleep Needs

Interestingly, despite falling asleep more easily, I’ve found that I need less sleep overall. This might seem counterintuitive, but it aligns with research suggesting that fasting can increase the efficiency of our sleep cycles. By reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, fasting may allow for more restorative sleep in a shorter amount of time.

Deeper, More Restful Sleep

The quality of my sleep has improved dramatically. I’m experiencing deeper, more restful sleep than I have in years. This deep sleep is crucial for physical restoration, memory consolidation, and overall cognitive function. The improved sleep quality could be linked to the body’s shift towards ketosis during fasting, which has been shown to enhance brain function and promote more stable energy levels.

Vivid Dreams and Enhanced Recall

One of the most fascinating aspects of my fasting journey has been the increase in vivid dreams and improved dream recall. This heightened dream activity might be related to the increased production of growth hormone during fasting, which plays a role in REM sleep regulation. Additionally, the brain’s enhanced efficiency during fasting could contribute to more active and memorable dream experiences.

Effortless Awakening

Waking up has become a remarkably different experience. Instead of groggily hitting the snooze button, I find myself naturally waking up feeling refreshed and alert. This easy transition from sleep to wakefulness could be attributed to more balanced cortisol levels and improved circadian rhythm regulation that often accompany fasting.

Balanced Energy Throughout the Day

Perhaps one of the most significant benefits I’ve noticed is the steady, balanced energy I maintain throughout the day. Gone are the mid-afternoon slumps and energy crashes. This consistent energy level is likely due to the stabilization of blood sugar and the body’s improved ability to utilize fat for fuel during fasting periods.

The Science Behind Fasting and Sleep

While my experience is personal, scientific research supports many of these observed benefits. Studies have shown that fasting can help reset the circadian rhythm, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair processes that contribute to better sleep quality. Furthermore, the metabolic changes induced by fasting appear to enhance the body’s sensitivity to sleep-regulating hormones like melatonin.

In conclusion, my 24-day juice fast has revealed unexpected and profound benefits for my sleep and overall well-being. From falling asleep more easily to experiencing deeper, more restorative sleep and maintaining balanced energy levels throughout the day, the positive impacts have been transformative. While individual experiences may vary, the potential sleep benefits of fasting are certainly worth exploring for those looking to enhance their sleep quality and overall health.

A Beginner’s Guide to the 17-Hour Fasting, Meditation, and Creation Routine

Are you looking to improve your health, reduce stress, and tap into your creative side? This beginner-friendly guide introduces a simple 17-hour routine that combines fasting, meditation, and creative practice. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried these before – we’ll walk you through each step!

What is This Routine?

This routine spans from 4 PM one day to 9 AM the next. It involves:

1. Skipping dinner (fasting)
2. Going to bed early
3. Waking up early
4. Doing a short meditation
5. Spending time on a creative activity

Let’s break it down step by step.

Step 1: Fasting (4 PM – 9 AM)

Fasting might sound scary, but it’s simpler than you think! Here’s how to start:

1. Eat your last meal around 4 PM.
2. Don’t eat again until 9 AM the next day.
3. Drink water, herbal tea, or black coffee during this time if you feel thirsty.

It’s okay if you can’t make it the full 17 hours at first. Start with what’s comfortable, even if it’s just skipping an evening snack, and gradually extend the time.

Step 2: Early Bedtime

Try to go to bed earlier than usual, ideally around 9 PM or 10 PM. This might be challenging at first, so start by going to bed just 15-30 minutes earlier than normal.

Before sleep, try this simple relaxation technique:

1. Close your eyes.
2. Take three deep breaths.
3. Think to yourself: “As I sleep, my body rests and heals. I’ll wake up feeling refreshed and creative.”

Step 3: Early Wake-Up

Set your alarm for about 6 AM. If that’s too early, start with 7 AM and gradually move it earlier.

When you wake up, resist the urge to check your phone. Instead, take a moment to stretch and thank yourself for waking up early.

Step 4: Morning Meditation

Meditation doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s an easy way to start:

1. Sit comfortably in a quiet place.
2. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
3. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
4. When your mind wanders (and it will!), gently bring your attention back to your breath.

That’s it! As you get more comfortable, you can gradually increase the time.

Step 5: Creative Time

Now comes the fun part – creating! This isn’t about making a masterpiece; it’s about expressing yourself. Choose any activity you enjoy:

• Writing: Jot down your thoughts in a journal.
• Drawing: Doodle or sketch anything that comes to mind.
• Music: Hum a tune or play a simple instrument.
• Movement: Dance to your favorite song.

Start with just 15 minutes. The key is to do it without judging yourself.

Breaking Your Fast

Around 9 AM, it’s time to eat. Choose something nutritious like oatmeal with fruits, or eggs with whole-grain toast.

Tips for Beginners

1. Start Slowly: You don’t have to do everything perfectly from day one. Begin with one or two elements and gradually add more.
2. Be Patient: It takes time to form new habits. If you miss a day, simply start again tomorrow.
3. Listen to Your Body: If you feel unwell at any point, especially during fasting, stop and eat something.
4. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the fasting period.
5. Adjust as Needed: This routine is flexible. If 4 PM to 9 AM doesn’t work for you, shift the timings to fit your schedule.

The Benefits

As you practice this routine, you might notice:

• Improved focus and energy
• Better sleep
• Reduced stress
• Increased creativity
• A sense of accomplishment

Remember, everyone’s journey is different. What matters most is that you’re taking steps to improve your well-being and explore your creative side. Be kind to yourself, stay curious, and enjoy the process of discovering what works best for you!

Sure, I might fly with angels, but I also get the regular download of information about what I should do (with my life, my business, my _______).

Sure, it’s fun–but it’s also a better, more effective use of my time than NOT meditating.

Enjoy.

??Greetings from Driebergen,

Kairos.

There you have it. One word I’ve been looking for–longing for. It’s been something I’ve felt I was missing in my life–and I ?see it missing in many people’s lives lately.  

Surprisingly–or not–I ?found my ONE word while presenting the ONE Retreat live and in-person in The Netherlands last month. The ONE-day retreat was a smashing success and there will be more in the future.

Sure, every single participant found their ONE word and wrote ONE book in ONE day to put focus and power on their ONE year ahead. 

What I didn’t expect that day was to find … my next ONE word. 

Kairos.

Here’s one of the many definitions I ?found: ?

?Chronos is the forward propelling time that we measure with clocks, on watches, and by the evolutionary phases of the moon. But time does not end there. The Greeks’ second word for time is “kairos” — lesser known but no less important. “Kairos” is what many philosophers and mystics would refer to as “deep time”. — Unsettled

If you’ve followed my work or read some of my books, you’ll know I ?like to surround single words with more words to drive home the meaning. Here are some words around Chronos and Kairos. 

Chronos

1. Frequency: daily, weekly, etc.; regular, expected; habits
2. Core, foundation
3. Stable, reliable, foundation
4. Roots

Kairos

1. Out of the ordinary, unusual, irregular; unscheduled
2. Unexpected, surprising; epiphany, synchronicity
3. Magic, wonder, awe
4. Branches

Can you see how we need both? ?As my mother-in-law used to say: ?”Het is niet altijd feest!” ?(“It’s not always party time!”) It’s true, of course, and even more powerfully, as much as we *think* we might want to always be “on holiday” ?or maybe “I ?wish every day was Saturday,” ?it’s the balance that gives us the most. 

Today is the 17th of July, 2024, halfway through the year. This morning, during my meditation it came to me: ?in order to get more Kairos in my life, I need to strengthen my Chronos. 

In my terms, that means (more) regular systems, habits, and rituals. In practical terms, it’s easy because, well, duh, of course, I already wrote a book about exactly how to get more Kairos in our lives … and it only takes 17 Hours.? ?It means 1.) ?fasting, 2.) meditating, and 3.) ?creating. 

On a personal note this month, this morning my mom came to me clearly during my meditation. I stopped my 2,808-day streak of writing every single day on the day my mom passed away. As I say in the video below–and as I talk about above–it’s time for some Chronos if I want to build up my Kairos.

If you’d like to join me in a 30-day writing challenge, hit reply and let me know. 

Until next month then, I ?wish some Kairos upon you.

Happy 17th!

Keep creating,

Bradley

[ This is from my monthly newsletter, “The 17th.” If you’d like to subscribe: https://17.repossible.com.

Greetings from Scheveningen,

You know that time when you’ve done this, you’re doing that, you’re not sure if “this is it” and what’s next might be a bit unclear and you find yourself saying to yourself, maybe whispering it to yourself in the supermarket aisle or even soft-screaming it to yourself when you’re alone in the car: Now What?

You might be 20 maybe 40 or 60 (or you’ve asked this question at each point along the way) and it’s time for a change. You might know what the change it, you might not, but you have those two words coming at you more and more regularly. You’re ready for that next time but you’re not sure what it is–and if that will be “it.” 

You have to ask the question before we have an answer. But the question for me, maybe for you, maybe right now, maybe yesterday, maybe tomorrow is: 

Now What?

I’m putting out the call to apply to submit a chapter to the anthology “Now What?” I’m looking for 9 people in each of these age groups: 

— 0 to 30
— 31 to 60
— 61 to 90+

We’re not looking for questions (we know what that is! It’s “Now What?”) but rather answers. You recently asked yourself the Now What? question and you have successfully answered it. Ideally, it’s something that someone else could benefit from. If you have succeeded where they haven’t yet, telling your story might help them get through their Now What? period. 

I have a sign-up page here: https://nowwhat.repossible.com where I’ll send you a bunch of questions. I’ll also keep adding to that page with more info as I gather it. 

Sound like fun? 

Happy 17th.

Keep creating,

Bradley

I know this thing works: intermittent fasting + meditation + creating. So why bother with new and shiny new things when I know that works?

Crazy, right?

But we all do it.

Also, if you’re new to my work then this is fresh. If you’ve been around a while, then either this is a new take on the same topic (not bad, right? refresher, trigger, etc.) or you’re bored to death and you think I say the same thing all the time and you’re looking for something … new and shiny.

I know it works for me. I hope it works for you.

The hardest part about fasting (I know, this is from an experienced intermittent fasting fan) is the social aspect of sitting at the dinner table with a glass of water.

Authors and audiobook narrators (or like me: I’m both) struggle with low commissions when distributing to the big audiobook players out there.

If we go “direct” (for example, using #payhip and #bookfunnel), we can:

1.) earn up to 97% of the sales cost (compared to as low as 17% … )

2.) connect more directly with listeners (because they’re not anonymous like on the big retailers)

3.) play with coupons, price changes, and overall flexibility and control

Some notes. 

 — Forget about all of your (crazy?) ideas?

 — What if I fail with this idea?

 — What if no one wants to hear it?

 — What if I outshine the family?

 — Are we “comfortably numb” or neutral?

A vulnerable, honest share: I have been trying to do ____________ (what I’ve been working on) and I want to share it but sometimes nobody reacts to this idea. Am I the crazy one? The normal one?

“I don’t want to be normal. I don’t want to be in the box.”

Keep creating,

Bradley

https://books2read.com/repossible-frequency

If you are of a certain young age and are reading this and wondering why anyone would go to all of the trouble turning a dial and hoping and feeling in order to connect and why wouldn’t we just match up a digital number and know it was the best connection, and not to mention the only connection we have or needed, then this is a perfect opportunity to create the metaphor of how and why this book isn’t about a precise, digital frequency that we can tune into every single time easily and automatically, but rather an analog world that uses feel and touch and doing crazy things like closing our eyes to focus better.
