Today's podcast is the first in a 4-part series, each designed to set you up to do everything in your power to make 2022 your best year yet. We're beginning the series with an encore presentation of one of the highest rated episodes that I recorded for you last year, which will give you an "Unconventional Approach to Make This Your Best Year Yet" and set the stage for the next three episodes.
As we leave this year behind, I'm inviting you to consider entering 2022 with an unconventional paradigm—that creating the best year of your life has less to do with what you accomplish (your results) or what happens to you (your circumstance), and everything to do with how you choose to show up and experience each day.
I'm also going to give you some strategies that you can immediately begin implementing to make 2022 your best year yet, no matter how you choose to measure success.
And one more thing, I have a free gift for you! I had one of my favorite people in the world on the show a couple of weeks ago, Brian Johnson. He is giving away his summaries of over 600+ personal development and business books. No strings attached, it's free! Just go to Optimize.me/hal to get access to his amazing content.

Connect with Hal ElrodHow do you go from doing work that makes you money to doing work that fulfills you—and could even be called your dream job?
To help you answer this question I'm speaking with Ken Coleman. Ken is a career expert, as well as the host of The Ken Coleman Show, where he helps people discover not just what they were born to do, but how to turn their dream career into a reality. He explores this even further in his new book, Paycheck to Purpose, which I'm reading right now.
Today, Ken returns to the podcast to talk about how to love your craft, make a unique contribution to the world that only you can make, and his step-by-step process for bringing your work into alignment with your passion and mission.

Connect with Hal ElrodWhat was the first personal development book you ever read? How did it impact you? For me, it was How to Win Friends & Influence People when I was 19 years old. It introduced me to the concepts of personal growth and personal development. It kickstarted my first career and was the catalyst for my decision to dedicate myself to lifelong personal development.
My friend, Brian Johnson, embodies this at the highest level. He has read over 1,000 books related to philosophy and personal development. You may also remember Brian from The Miracle Morning Movie (he was the expert in the "Reading" scene), or you might know him as the creator of Philosopher's Notes (where I first discovered him) or the founder of Optimize. Most recently, he is the founder and CEO of Heroic.
In this conversation, Brian and I share the most valuable lesson(s) we've learned from reading over 1,000 personal development books.

Connect with Hal ElrodWe are all carrying some level of guilt, shame, or regret. We've all done things that aren't in alignment with our values, or that we'd do differently now if given the opportunity.
We also carry some degree of hurt, anger, or resentment toward people who we believe wronged us.
What would life be like to live completely free from ALL this emotional turmoil? How can we release ourselves from the weight of those experiences that cause us pain? What can we do to stop reopening old wounds and triggering past traumas?
Today's episode is all about forgiveness. It's about forgiving yourself for the mistakes you've made in your own life, as well as for the hurt other people have caused you. In this conversation, I want to show you what it means to truly be forgiving, dissolve the emotional links holding you back, and face the world with a cleaner slate than ever before.

Connect with Hal ElrodI know this is a departure from topics I normally address on the podcast, but I hope you'll listen and take this episode seriously, as well as read this email for more details and resources. I took the time to record this for you from a place of moral obligation.
I don't know if you're aware, but we are experiencing a severe, unprecedented global supply chain crisis, and I've been researching and considering what this could mean for all of us. Specifically, there is a realistic possibility that we could experience food shortages in the relatively near future (this fall/winter). I'm talking about grocery stores and restaurants not being able to get food, and thus each of us having to rely on our own supply for an unknown length of time.
After experiencing relatively minor food shortages when the pandemic hit (think empty grocery shelves and no toilet paper), and more extreme shortages here in Texas last winter during what was known as the "snow-pocalypse" (it was very difficult to find any meat at grocery stores), and now paying close attention to the current supply chains (I have friends in related industries who have confirmed it's even worse than we're being told), I encourage all of us to get at least a 30 day supply of food. Although being prepared for longer (2-6 months) wouldn't hurt.
As for what food to buy, if you Google "emergency food" you'll get a bunch of unhealthy 25-year shelf life foods that are loaded with preservatives. But if you value eating healthy, I recommend simply ordering organic rice & beans, as well as mung beans that you can sprout (Google how to do that) - so that you can have "living" food that is also high in protein (7 grams of protein per 1 ounce). None of those are very expensive, even the organic stuff. I get all of the above on either Amazon or FoodToLive.com.
As for meat, I recommend stocking up now and if you can afford it, getting a deep freezer to store it in. My wife and I found a used one on Craigslist and also use it to freeze a good amount of organic vegetables. We also got a backup generator to power our fridge and freezer, in case we lose power like we did last winter in Texas, for 5 consecutive days.
If you want more variety, you might also consider buckwheat, oatmeal, nuts, freeze-dried fruits, and canned foods. Also, if you live in an area that experiences frozen pipes or power outages, stock up on bottled water and/or get a water filtration system like a Berkey filter (last year we also lost running water for 5 days).
To be clear: I'm not advocating hoarding or panic buying. Consider that if we each buy a little bit more now, while supply chains are still in tact, and stock up on what we might need in an emergency situation, then if we reach an emergency situation, those who prepared in advance don't have to go to the store and take food off of the shelves from those who weren't prepared.
And BTW, I'm certainly not trying to scare you. That's not my intention here. Preparation isn't about becoming paranoid. Quite the opposite. It's about knowing that you'll be ready for whatever comes, rather than worrying about what might be.
In this short episode, I explain what I've been doing to plan ahead, including actionable steps you can take and resources you can use to be prepared. Hopefully our supply chains get figured out, but I'd rather us all be safe than sorry/hungry. 🙏🏼❤️

Connect with Hal ElrodToday, I'm excited to introduce you to the authors of one of my all-time favorite books, Mathew Micheletti and Ashley Cottrell. Known worldwide as "The Yoga Couple" to their 500,000+ followers, they're also the authors of a book that I haven't stopped recommending since I read it: The Inner Work: An Invitation to True Freedom and Lasting Happiness.
Their book astounded me. It's one of the best books I've ever read. They're experts in consciousness, learning how to interact with your significant other in ways that stop us from getting triggered, and changing our approach to life so that we experience True Freedom and Lasting Happiness.
In this conversation, we take the teachings of Mat and Ash's book, The Inner Work, and go even deeper, discovering new insights as we discuss how to apply their teachings in a world that couldn't possibly be crazier, chaotic, or more uncertain.

We believe that strong, healthy families are crucial to a healthy society. Thus, we are committed to elevating the consciousness of humanity by sharing the life-changing power of the Miracle Morning with as many parents and families as possible!

Connect with Hal ElrodWhat would you do if you had no responsibilities? If you could get rid of your job, all of your bills, and not have to answer to anyone—how would you spend your days?
My friend and filmmaker, Nick Conedera (director of The Miracle Morning Movie) decided to answer that question for himself. He burned his possessions (literally), got rid of everything he owned, and spent three (3) years living in a van and traveling around the country.
He tells the story of his journey in his brand new book, 70MPH: Grab the Wheel and Haul Ass to Your Dreams. I highly recommend picking up a copy. Nick is one of the best storytellers I know, and you won't be disappointed!
Knowing how wise and insightful Nick is, I knew I needed to talk to him about his incredible adventure, and I assure you that his observations, insights, and perspectives are truly unique and highly valuable.
Today, he joins me on the podcast to tell us what he learned that can help all of us to clarify our values and live in alignment with what matters most to each of us.

Connect with Hal ElrodHave you noticed how divided we have become as a society? The media is constantly pushing narratives that categorize people into groups, fostering animosity and even hate towards those who have different beliefs and opinions than we do.
When we focus on our differences, we feel disconnected from one another. It not only hurts us as individuals, but collectively as a society.
When we choose to see each other from the perspective of our similarities, our commonalities, and our sameness, we feel connected. We feel love, even when we disagree on topics, concepts, or beliefs.
On today's podcast, I'm inviting all of us to remember that we are all fundamentally the same, that ALL of us have far more in common than we have differences, and that each of us has a responsibility to do our part to heal humanity's division.
Today, I want to explore why our differences are actually superficial, who we really are at our core, and the very real possibility that there's a higher level of consciousness we can all access with regards to how we see and treat each other.

Connect with Hal ElrodAs individuals, it is our ability to live in alignment with our values that determines our level of fulfillment. No matter what you value — health, family, freedom, safety, contribution etc. — when your thoughts, words, and actions are in alignment with what you value most, you are living a fulfilled life.
But are their shared values that matter most for ALL of us?
That's ultimately up to you to decide, but I believe there are values that are crucial for all of us, both to thrive as individuals and as a society. Today we explore what those values are, and we can better live in alignment with them so that we can ALL experience higher levels of fulfillment.
