RYD Gear 1 Habit - Article of the Day

The intention of the RYD Gear 1 Growth Habit of Article of the Day is to create a Daily Sacred Pause to re-align your energy to your Purpose, your Spiritual Values, your reality-defying intentions and impossible, unimaginable, crazy-big dreams; strengthening your Gear 5 Love Consciousness.

Here's how the game of Article of the Day is played. Read the daily article and share your answers to the below questions:
1. What is my emotional state as an outcome of reading the article? 
2. What is One Insight from the article that made the biggest difference to me?
3. What is One Question as an outcome of reading the article, the inquiry of which would most contribute to me to progress on my good to great journey.

Why Emotional State? To create a moment of self-awareness during the day and interrupt the Default Flow of the day for you to become more intentional and make a bigger difference through what you think, what you say and what you do.
Why One Insight? To train your brain through Agility of Mind Gear 1 consciousness to absorb information, integrate and identify a point on the Ball of Perspective that gives you access to your Power to Create.
Why One Question? To train your brain through Being of Service Gear 2 consciousness to identify a Question the answer to which would most make a difference and train your brain through Communicating Powerfully in the World of Others Gear 3 Consciousness to think in Questions and Lead with Questions.

You will get most value from playing the game when you read one Article a day, instead of batching many articles together to read in a day.

Different articles are posted for different Tribes based on the tribe's evolution on the Good to Great journey. One article is posted a day Monday to Friday for articles missed during the week to be read in the weekend.

There are 3 levels at which you can play the game:
1. Mastery Level: Read the article on the day it is posted for and share your responses to the 3 questions on the same day.
2. Champion Level: Read the 5 articles during the week and respond to the 3 questions for each article, using the weekend for reading and reflecting on articles missed during the week.
3. Starter Level: Read at least 1 article during the week and respond to the 3 questions.

The articles are posted with the following rhythm:
Monday - Business Excellence
Tuesday - Craft Mastery
Wednesday - Leadership Depth
Thursday - Business Excellence
Friday - Leadership Depth

Those who are choosing not to read the Article of the Day or those who find lengthy articles difficult to read and absorb, here's a perspective. Seek to understand the perspective rather than react to disagree; and then, take action in alignment with your Inner Wisdom:
Agility of Mind is developed when we
i. do what the mind resists
ii. do what the mind doesn't want to do
iii. do what the mind hates to do
iv. do what is uncomfortable for the mind
v. do what the mind has an aversion for
vi. do what the mind is embarrassed about doing
vii. do what the mind fears
and
viii. don't do what the mind craves for. We are not addicted. Our mind is addicted. An addicted mind is a weak mind. When we break free from our addictions, our mind becomes stronger and develops Agility of Mind.

We let our Inner Wisdom guide us on which Growth Habits would most serve us, though it is important to be able to distinguish between the voice of the Inner Wisdom and the voice of the small mind masquerading as the voice of the Inner Wisdom. 

How to distinguish between the two? If you are feeling Love, Gratitude and Reverence; and can feel Love, Gratitude and Reverence in your physical body, then it is the voice of your Inner Wisdom. If you are feeling an emotion from 6 to 22 on the emotional range, then it is the voice of your small mind masquerading as your Inner Wisdom. To have this awareness, you need at least two other RYD Gear 1 Growth Habits in your daily practise - Morning Pages stream of consciousness vomit-out journaling and Evening Structured Reflection.

Keep strengthening your Leadership Depth muscles through RYD Growth Habits and RYD Transformative Practises to joyously lead yourself and your business from good to great, realize your dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure along the way.

Loving you,
