The concept of wild starts with nature, with the truth of things as they are. Who are you? it's a question that has no real answer because as soon as you can define it, you've grown a little bit more, it's like trying to name Now. When is it Now? I lived a life earlier on where wild was a set of behaviors: dancing on tables, drinking in bars, blacking out at parties, screaming into microphones on stage - expressive, cathartic, and sometimes self-destructive. I let my Wild be defined by movies and culture, a wild that was a symptom, a reaction, a kind of anit-something. Wild, as I knew it, was a recklessness, a rebellion against being anything I was supposed to be, without actually being anything about who I was. My life progressed, my choices changed, my yoga worked, my writing worked, my heart opened, and my voice calmed. I found myself asking, 'Where is my wild now? What does freedom actually mean to me?' I continued journaling about a desire for wildness in myself and my life, even as a corporate executive with the suit, the 'boss' bag, and the salary to match. Wild is about truth; it's the nature of you. It's not about your 'best self' but your 'favorite self' - the self that you love and cherish, the self that exists in your nostalgia for the You you miss. Wild is the spark of excitement you feel when curiosity grabs you. Wild is allowing yourself to discover what you low now, not what you used to, not what you want to but what you do. It's allowing yourself to start a garden, when a book character's garden became your favorite part of hte novel you just read. Wild is getting back on a horse after 15 years because the smell of the barn still brings your soul to life. Wildness is authenticity. I have written in my journals every day since I was 12 years old. Over 52 journals, filled with every thought, every problem, every question that mattered to me over 20+ years. Journaling is my road to clarity, my daily accountable, my way to sort out the noise and ask myself important questions: 'Am i living as my wild self?' 'Did I bring my authenticity to today?' Change starts small. It starts by asking yourself regularly, what is working? what isn't? Recently, over and over I've come into contact with people, who said they'd always wanted to journal but just couldn't get into it, or who bought a journal but quit when they missed a day. This journal is for you. The girl who posted on tik tok that after her eras tour experience, she started wearing more sparkles, because she realized she felt more herself at that concert, shimmering, than she had in her life, she'd been covering up herself with "professional" her. (Me too!) The executive who has accomplished everything they set out to accomplish and now feels lost, unsure of what next. This journal is for you, reader, because you wouldn't be here unless something resonated deeply with what you want next in your life. This journal is designed to get you started, to help you notice, day by day: What is your wild? Where are you feeling truly alive? Your days become weeks, your weeks become months, and those months become your LIFE. Start small, start now. Live wild.
