The Secret of Your Future

10 steps in 1 direction > 10 steps in 10 directions

Hello my dear,

6 months left in 2023!!!

This was my cue to start again and fix what has gone “wrong” or could have gone “better” in the first 6 months of the year…

What happened is that I made 36 000 steps in 36 000 directions, and it’s time to choose something better. I want to deliver. I want to share my work with the world, and I want to turn thoughts into things for real.

My July Vision is all about taking 10 steps in 1 direction rather than 10 steps in 10 directions. Or say 31 steps, as we have 31 days this month.

Old me vs. New me:

Our energy can go all over the place or can be single-pointed.

I gained a lot of experiences and wisdom by exploring 36 000 directions, but now it’s time for me to alchemize and create something truly valuable for my community (you!!), and a space for me to experiment and share all the tools that made my life the way it is (i.e perfectly imperfect).

The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.

The secret of your future is hidden in the now: it’s about being, not about doing. It’s not really what you DO, it’s how you FEEL and who you BE when you do it.

Find what it means for you.

Maybe it means turning routines into rituals?

Making things beautiful?

Habits stacking?

Being in your heart space when performing your morning, evening, and midday routines?  

My non-negociable list:

° The only rule I have: don’t skip two days in a row.

° Nervous System Overhaul, a 17-min kundalini set (including a 4’30” relaxation at the end). I got inspired by my friend, he shared with me how he does it, using an app to time all the different parts (send me a DM if interested and committed, and I’ll share w/ you)

° Matcha, found my best way to matcha, and I love it on almond-coco milk. Can’t wait for Lisa to launch Radiance Matcha

° “I’m not changing, I’m choosing” — my new mantra

° Say no to everything that is not what I want

° Daily Gua Sha (the mirror from Muji, Agate Gua Sha, and Nephrite Gua Sha + the amazing Pure Cleansing Oil by Ma:nyo).

° Daily morning pages (3 pages of pure stream of consciousness upon waking).

° A book recommendation to support my vision “Taking 10 Steps in 1 Direction”: Essentialism, the disciplined pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown) You can have an overview of the chapters here and see if that’s your vibe.

° Radiance meditation (join our free accountability Telegram group here, it’s been the same since Summer Solstice 2022!)

° The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, which I am doing for the fourth time, and it’s always giving me great clarity. I'll bring it on my trip to France, and do it at my own pace. If you’re looking for an accountability buddy and you’re serious and committed about it while being gentle with yourself, send me a DM.

° Celebrating women that inspire me to create (just click all the links above, and you’ll see what I mean)

Now, it’s your turn to create clarity for July and the second half of 2023 (should you want to)

Bring pen-to-paper.

° Take inventory of the overall energy of your life during the first half of 2023: see what went right, what could have gone better, what you learn, and what you are ready to share —> make the list!

° Choose > Change: what do you choose to say YES to and what do you choose to say NO to support your vision → make the list!

° Join expanding and uplifting containers (groups, 1-1, online, virtual, anything that will expand you) → make a list of your options, and see which investment makes sense for you now (a side note: if it’s out of your comfort zone, it doesn’t mean it’s not for you… To break a scarcity pattern, all it takes is to change the way we respond to it)

° Create your DECLARATION: “From now on, I am (taking 10 steps in 1 direction instead of 10 steps in 10 directions). I am (focused), I (deliver), and I (share my work with the world). It’s my responsibility” → make a declaration (you can share it and tag me for accountability, or comment down below)

° Create your NON-NEGOTIABLE LIST → make the list (can be a visual list as I did here)

° Create your own rule (ex: don’t skip two days in a row)

° Routines → Rituals: make it beautiful, make it sacred, make it joyful, make it fun.

Last but not least:

Enjoy your Summer, drink your water, protect your skin AND your energetic field, be open to the unknown, and welcome Divine Timing and synchronicities as you go.

Blessings received,

Ardas Chandra

PS: This was meant to be a quick post on Instagram, but I realized you might find value in it if I’d share my process as we are starting a new month / the last 6 months of the year. Consider sharing this Light Letter with your community so that we can change the way women act towards each other (more on that soon).
