Looking for someone else to make music with/collaborate. I realise I just can't do my Life Purpose by myself - I produce, play guitar and some other instruments and also sing but it just feels like way too much to do and I really love making stuff with other people (my second top value is connection) - Anyone else also have music as their life purpose (ideally singers) and want to collaborate? I mainly listen to Indie, Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Bossa Nova, some heavier rock like Grunge too - lemme know

Jesus man, this is amazing to read. Mad respect

do you have an instagram for this? I like these

I would do the life purpose course - it will help you get clear on what you want to do and the potential work place environments to find with that in mind.

I guess I could you're right - I have had it more recently as I've been slowly letting go of a trauma pattern I've been working on for a while. the technique is this one

I've been doing the satisfaction meditation for about 6 years now and its completely changed my life. I just completed one year of doing it for an hour 6 days a week and 1 day of 30 mins (before that I was just doing 30 mins 6 days a week). I've recently started having more difficult meditation sessions, where my ego starts fighting back and as I stay with it I go through very difficult emotions and process trauma. This is good but is very hard to sustain for more than an hour and even that can be too much. My trauma healing coach says that you don't want to overdo this and fully overwhelm yourself as it becomes counterproductive to the healing process after a point. I was planning on doing 3 meditation retreats this year but I don't know what to do if a ton of trauma comes up - it doesn't seem productive to force myself to still do a full day of meditation if a ton of unexpected trauma comes up that I can barely handle for 1 hour, let alone 7 or 8 per day. Maybe its like weight lifting and I'm just not advanced enough yet to handle that amount of meditation and I will eventually be able to do that? What do you guys think?

I bring people the freedom/authenticity they had as children through music and entertainment (work in progress :))

yeah this is the small bets thing - its in the book So Good They Can't Ignore You. Do those and make sure they're not lasting that much longer than 2 months, ideally 1-2 months because they can really drag on and invite complacency. Be honest as to how much passion you felt during do those projects and also look back at your values to see if you are really aligning with your top values with small bet projects you are doing. That's what has helped me

I'd go back over the steps he outlines in the course - its really easy to have resistance to taking the simple steps, like just doing enough research, making the small bets from the book 'so good they can't ignore you' - watch all those videos again and take notes and then work out how to apply them. Also you have to allow things to unfold so start and commit to things but go easy on yourself and just see how it goes, don't beat yourself up if you aren't getting anywhere yet, just don't quit, commit to finding the life purpose, what else would you be doing in life?

I also do do a lot of meditation as well so yeah doing both

One of my problems right now is that I do need to build more relationships - I'm not bad at making friends but the issue is finding people who are actually growing in their lives so are a good example for me. I find it hard to find these people, I can be more resourceful though.
