🔼: [[🗺️ Roadmap]] #### 🪡 2023-12-30.Sa Update Previous Update: [[🪡 2023-07-10.Mo Update]] Following Update: [[🪡 2024-04-18.Th Update]] ![[On Updates...]] ##### General Hello, friends! > [!success] THANK YOU > Warmest thanks to the anonymous person who bought an item from [my wishlist](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/21BUJ3G4MAL2X?ref_=wl_share)! Thanks also to Susan Spies, Kiran, Natasha Nese, Olli Makkonen, Chris Trani, Bryan Drewery, Mark Journigan, Molly Moloney, and +3 anonymous donors for your [[❤️ Support Levi|❤️ financial support]]. A lot's changed for me since the last update. I've moved back to my hometown. I've formed some new relationships, nurtured some old ones (inner and outer), and lost a few others. I started and finished a supervision group with [[👤 Robert Falconer]], and I’ve gotten to know Joanne Twombly a bit over these past several months (she’s really funny and wonderful and I recommend her book [[📖 🟢 Trauma and Dissociation Informed Internal Family Systems]]). I also completed my Level 2 training at [[🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏾 Aletheia]] and have been hired to build an Integral Guide-like resource for them, which will be much less complicated than the Guide but nonetheless quite the undertaking. Now I'm contemplating whether I'll go for Level 3 or roll the dice on getting into Level 1 IFS training. I've also been looking after my grandparents, especially my grandmother as she had a major surgery, another family member passed away, and...you get the idea. It's a lot. That said, the Guide is still being added to and refined, almost daily. I’m learning and experimenting, but with all that's gone on in recent months I have more to share than time or energy to share it. I just don’t as much space to write and edit as I’d like. I have about 95k words sitting around and a bunch of other stuff I have yet to write about at all. The [[🗺️ Roadmap]] is *not* up-to-date because I've had to consolidate everything I'm doing into one place so I can wrap my head around it. Meanwhile there are many quality-of-life improvements I’d like to make to the Guide, plus some new things I want to integrate. That will mean restructuring and reshaping various pieces of the Guide’s foundations, which will take a lot of time and care. I double haven't had the time or space to participate in my usual IFS spaces the way I used to – but I miss y'all! Speaking of, the next [Parts Work Unconference](https://www.ifs-collective.com/unconference) is January 20th. The hosts of the Unconference (dear friends of mine) have made an interesting [practice for the new year](https://ifscollective.substack.com/p/mapping-the-past) that’s freely available. > [!important] CLIENT SLOTS > [[🤝 Become a Client]] > I have slightly more than a handful of weekly slots available. > I can fill *maybe* 6 more slots before I’ll have to start a waiting list. > Forgive my marketing(ish) plug — it’s a necessity of the modern world. Onto the update! ##### Changes This began as an exploration of ADHD, focus, goal setting and planning, and various practices which play into all of them. Though with what little time I had to finish it and with so much else going on, it eventually it turned into much more. The list below is deceptively short as this update affects well over 1000 notes. That’s including a complete overhaul of what used to be called the "Parts Work Toolkit," now [[🕯️ Parts Practices]], and it is far more robust than it used to be. This is just a finished-enough and functional piece of a larger shift that has no set timeline, plus a sprinkling of other topics and tweaks. There's more, but this was already so big and complicated that I needed to publish it for my own sanity and so I could say hi to you. Hi! We'll see if I broke anything. Thank you for reading, for caring, for your donations, and for your heartening comments and messages. Take care, give care, and I wish you all the best as we enter into 2024. <3 - [[💡 Unattached Burdens]] (Updated) - [[🕯️ Parts Practices]] (Updated, formerly “Parts Work Toolkit”) - [[💡 Burdens 🪨]] (Updated) - [[🛠️ Repair]] (New) - [[🛡️ Addiction]] (Updated) - [[🛠️ Addiction Fast]] (New) - [[🧘 Pratyahara]] (New) - [[💡 Cognitive Load]] (New) - [[💡 Locked Constellation]] (New) - [[🔑 Acceptance is a prerequisite for change]] (New) - [[💡 ADHD]] (Updated) - [[⭐️ Life Curation]] (Updated, formerly “Mental Hygiene”) - [[🔑 Our mind is directly influenced by our surroundings]] (New) - [[🔑 Everything we come into contact with leaves something behind]] (New) - [[💡 Thoughts]] (Updated) - [[💡 Motivation]] (New) - [[💡 Focus & Concentration]] (Updated) - [[🛠️ Goals and Intentions]] (New) - [[💡 Growth Mindset]] (Updated) - [[💡 Fixed Mindset]] (Updated) - [[💡 Extrinsic Motivation]] (New) - [[💡 Intrinsic Motivation]] (New) - [[🦮 How to shift from a Fixed Mindset to a Growth Mindset]] (New) - [[🧘 Yoga Nidra]] (Updated) - [[💡 Should Statements]] (Updated) - [[⭐ Values]] (New) - [[⭐ Duty]] (New) - [[💡 Wants]] (New) - [[💡 Compensatory Goal]] (New) - [[💡 Fantasy-Based Goal]] (New) - [[💡 Moving Goalposts]] (New) --- [[❤️ Support Levi]] | [[🤝 Become a Client]] | [Newsletter](https://integralguide.substack.com)
