The Epic Quest is a powerful way to jump onto the path of living the life you love.
In the Shape Good Habits world, that means reaching a goal of establishing a powerful new positive habit.
If you are perfectly content with every aspect of your life: Your body is where you want it, your relationships are all excellent, and your work is satisfying, you probably don’t need an Epic Quest.
And, if you are not there yet, you need to participate in an Epic Quest!
This is the surest way to begin a self-care practice that will take you in the right direction.
What’s the best place to start?
Where you are.
Which Gremlin should I pay attention to first?
Review last week’s blog post: Epic Quest and the Gremlins
If you’re not sure, then make your first practice intentional silence. Sitting still and being quiet for five minutes each day will help every one of your Gremlins.
It is the simplest and most powerful first step.
And, if you already have a meditation practice in place, take a look at your Gremlins.
Focus on one.
Add one 5 minute or fewer practice.
See the difference this micro practice has over time.
Accountability/Connections
An essential part of the Epic Quest is accountability. Going through a Quest with a supportive partner deepens the establishment of the habit. Increased connection is also a facet of self-care.
When you get a team of three together, it increases your connections, the likelihood of success, and your fun.
Go through the process. Notice how your life has improved. Even if only a little. Remember, a step in the right direction is always a step in the right direction.
