I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #665 - The Commitment to Publish at Least One Post Every Day - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, May 23, 2024

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I made the commitment to publish at least one post on this incredible Hive Blockchain every single day on February 1, 2022, so 2 years, 3 months, and 23 days ago. In total that is 843 days. This is day 665 of this series of daily posts, which is quite astonishing every time that I see the new number each day. In my time of daily post publishing, I've shifted, streamlined, and refined the process, which has made it easier and quicker for me to do each day over time.

To be able to actually succeed in publishing one post every day, I had to make it non-negotiable, in other words, carving out time each and every day, where I have the time and space, to sit down to write my posts, and to get them published on time (2PM my time is when Hive's UTC switches to a new day), no matter what is happening around me. There have been times when this has been extremely challenging, but because of my rock-solid commitment, dedication, and tenacity, I've still always found a way to make it happen.

Writiing (or whatever format you choose) and publishing at least one high-quality, high-value, post every day here on Hive, along with consistent and solid engagement, is one of the core keys to success here on this extraordinary Blockchain. As such, getting into the habit of doing so as early and as soon as possible will very notably and beneficially affect growth, especially when seen over time.

Each month (according to @hivebuzz) there are around 40 individuals (me being one of them), give or take, that consistently publish one post every day (with posts set to 100-HP, or who power up one HIVE each day), which to me sounds very low, especially given the number of active accounts on the Blockchain. Many seem to want to start posting every day, and even give it a try, but few succeed. The difference between those that succeed in this endeavor, and those who do not, comes down to commitment, plain and simple. Commit and you will succeed.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House just after 2PM again, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, focusing first, as usual, on straining out and blending my raw milk kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and taking photos for these posts. Thankfully the weather was great for photography yesterday, so I got a lot of really beautiful shots. After kefir and photography, I went to work with Ano again, first to put cages around the last two young trees that I planted in the new cow pasture, and then to help him make a new gate for the cow pasture. Once I finished helping Ano, I took a short break, then I went to weed the planting bed up at the first entrance to the property, which was getting a bit out of hand. After working, I made myself one of my kickass cheeseburgers in the Landing, then I headed back to the Flow House to enjoy it. After eating, I returned to the Landing to collect the quart jar of my kefir blend, and made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. As soon as I sat down, however, Iolanthe texted me to ask me if I could make her some food, so after finishing one important Hive task, I went to Tutu's to do that. I didn't find Io in Tutu's, however, but rather at the top of the Lychee tree near the Peanut Lawn and the Landing. I joined her at the top of the tree (at her request) for a short time, to look at a bird's nest. Once we came down out of the tree, we went to Tutu's for food making. I ended up making her some quesadillas with sautéed onions. After eating, Io wanted me to stay in Tutu's with her for a while longer, so I hung out there with her, playing and horsing around, until around 7:30PM, at which point I returned to the Flow House, to finally get to catching up on my Hive notifications. I got everything on Hive done by just after 11:30PM, and after scanning my Bastyon and X feeds, I went to bed, a bit too late, just before 12:45PM. Sadly I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked, even though I woke up at 9AM. On waking, I did a round of token management, I started on this post, and then I got out of bed around 9:30AM to go make my suerfood fire coffee.

I took another good round of photos, in the gorgeous morning sunlight, before making my way back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so a fantastic time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House, to first strain out and blend kefir, maybe do some sunbathing, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.
