Photo by Sheila Mraz<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Renee Trudeau<\/p>\n<p>I went to a local brewery last night to have a beer with a new friend. I loved her openness, honesty and how we were able to connect around what matters most to us. These days, my favorite question to ask people (whether I\u2019ve known them for 20 years or 20 minutes) is: What makes you come alive? I love watching faces soften, open and light up. Often, just pondering this question infuses them with youthful vitality.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, after my husband and I became empty-nesters, we made a bold change\u2014one that had been in the works for years. We left Austin, TX where we had lived for 30 years and found a permanent home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I fell in love with this region in 2014 when I came to Asheville to do a book signing. The ancient, healing, deeply feminine mountains, powerful waterfalls and rivers, and endless towering trees make me feel on fire creatively and more \u201cme\u201d than anywhere else I\u2019ve lived.<\/p>\n<p>What makes you come alive? What makes your body vibrate and quiver with life? It doesn\u2019t have to be a big life change like mine; it could be small (one of the things that most lights me up here is hearing owls in the middle of the night) or it could be daring to envision a lifestyle you\u2019ve never imagined.<\/p>\n<p>At the retreats I lead around the country, I consistently hear women leaders share that they often fluctuate between overwhelm and exhaustion. Others share that their lives feel rote and they often feel joyless. When I check in with my brother\u2014an overworked father and self-employed management consultant\u2014on how he\u2019s doing, he often texts back: \u201cGroundhog Day.\u201d I understand. And I\u2019m a big believer that when we change our environment (and our routine), we change our perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to feel more wild and less \u201csafe\u201d? Try:<br \/>\n\u2022 saying \u201cyes\u201d more than you say \u201cno\u201d to new opportunities (or at least pausing before you say \u201cno!\u201d)<br \/>\n\u2022 taking risks and trying things you wouldn\u2019t normally do (swim with friends under a full moon or learn to rock climb)<br \/>\n\u2022 doing things differently: walk a new route to work, change your morning routine, try a new dance class<br \/>\n\u2022 challenging yourself to stretch, learn something new and get out of your comfort zone (I started a new business at 55!)<br \/>\n\u2022 living in the present as much as you can; when we can \u201cbe here now\u201d and access all of our senses, we feel more awake and alive!<\/p>\n<p>Every day I make it a priority to keep choosing things that make me feel alive: dancing, exploring new trails, singing, cold plunges in the Davidson River, speaking my truth in the moment and not holding back creatively.<\/p>\n<p>My friend Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy (SARK), one of the foremost teachers on living a creative life and author of Make Your Creative Dreams Real, says, \u201cBeing tame is what we\u2019re taught: put the crayons back, stay in line, don\u2019t talk too loud, keep your knees together, nice girls don\u2019t. As you might know, nice girls DO, and they like to feel wild and alive. Being tame feels safe; being wild, unsafe. Yet safety is an illusion anyway. We are not in control. No matter how dry and tame and nice we live, we will die. And we will suffer along the way. Living wild is its own reward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This month I challenge you to reflect: what makes you come alive? And then full-heartedly go and do that.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ren\u00e9e Peterson Trudeau is an internationally known author\/speaker, catalyst and retreat facilitator.
