One of the most important practices right now is to regularly perform a sort of “Sovereignty Audit” on yourself. And do almost daily “sovereignty workouts” even when things are going well

Because with the pace of innovations accelerating, your ability to maintain agency to not outsource your will and thoughts will become one of your greatest allies.

Prompt yourself on the daily :

What owns my time?

What beliefs have I recently questioned if any?

What would I struggle to go 24 hours without?

Once you have the answers, run a behavioral or mental fast , you can even gamify it if that helps.

For your beliefs Explore the full spectrum of your beliefs: drop them temporarily, examine what happens, and return with a sharper, more conscious version of yourself. I also like to expose myself to both extreme of the belief I’m holding

Your sovereignty isn’t just something to protect or philosophize about , it’s something to practice and exercise at all time

Totally agree. And a good way to avoid the atrophy of your critical thinking muscle.

Since I began doing something similar a few years ago, I realized I don’t really fit into many of those little boxes politicians and media try to push us in (liberal, conservative, etc). Doing your own thinking is liberating. And if you see you are or were wrong in something, at least it is/was your own mistake (and you can learn from it) and not somebody else’s.

We should all self-audit ourselves every 10 mins 🤣
