Commitment ritual (exercise)
Setting new energy into motion
Once you complete the commitment ritual, you set into motion the energy of
transformation and the entire universe starts conspiring in your favor. But as good as
that sounds, this is nothing to take lightly. You must be serious about transformation
and sincere about surrendering to the forces of change. Only complete this if
transformation is what you truly want and you’re ready to do what is required of you to
change and realize the dream.

Instructions
1. Go into your calendar and block off half a day at minimum or a full-day –
Treat this with the same respect and commitment as you would treat a really important
business meeting or doctor’s appointment.
2. Pack a bag with your essentials for the day – A notebook, pen, snacks, water,
blanket, whatever you will need for the day.
3. Pick a high energy, inspiring spot in nature – Could be a beach. Could be a
park. Could be a forest. Could be the top of a hike trail. Whatever you find to be
inspiring, relaxing, and rejuvenating.
4. Go to your chosen spot in nature on the day of your commitment ritual –
Wake up, do your thing, and go there immediately. Do not plug your senses into any
media. Do not spend time talking to anybody. Do not check emails. Do not listen to any
audio books. Do not listen to music. Do not let anything into your mind. This is your
time. Please respect it and keep your mind clean.
5. Upon arrival, plug your senses into the energy of nature that is all around
you – Let go of all your worries, forget yourself, and connect with Nature. Smell the air.
Touch grass. Meditate under a tree. Whatever.
6. Once you are feeling connected with Nature and juiced with good vibes,
pull out your journal, take three deep breaths, and pose a question to
Nature: “What do you want to create through me this year?” – Then start
writing what type of financial life wants to be created. What type of health wants to be
created. What type of relationships want to be created. What type of adventures want to
be created. What type of impact wants to be created. What type of skill-set wants to be
created. What type of lifestyle wants to be created. What type of character traits want to
be created. Don’t worry about censoring yourself. Don’t worry about dreaming too big.
Don’t worry about egoic desires and authentic desires. Just feel into the question and
write what wants to be created and experienced through the unique vessel that is you.
It could be a full time online income, first-class travel, retiring your parents. It could be
writing a book that inspires millions, starting the process of building a $100M brand,
growing a personal brand to millions of followers. Whatever. The important thing is to
allow the force of Nature to dream through you and write for you.
(Zero self censoring!)
7. After you have written down what wants to be created through you, it’s
time to have a heart to heart with your character – Feel the power of Nature all
around you and understand this energy is constantly trying to act through you and
transform your life into one of adventure, creativity, and growth. A life that is the
highest possible life for your particular character (i.e. nature creates no duplicates and a
person’s potential is already encoded in every cell of their being).
But it’s the resistance of the character that often gets in the way and blocks your
blessings by self-sabotaging, falling off the wagon, and not doing what is required on a
daily/consistent basis. With that noted, it’s important to ask your character: “Are you
willing to get out of the way? Are you willing to let go of the invisible parking brake? Are
you willing to see how good this life can truly become?”
If the answer is yes, then move onto the next question.
If the answer is no, then you are not yet ready for transformation. Repeat this exercise
again in the future and only continue when the answer is yes.
8. Set your commitment – Flip to a new page in your journal and write down: “I AM
[your full name] and from this moment on I commit to take conscious control of my life
and to truly transform it from the inside out via the 12-month Clicks&Copy program. No
longer will I be played by the character. Instead, I will play the character and do what is
required to assist Nature in actualizing the creation(s) that want to flow through me.”
Then sign and date it.
–
By doing the above, you are officially ready for change. You are officially ready for the
Clicks&Copy adventure. You are officially ready to shift from version 1.0 to version 2.0.
This marks the competition of the first part of your Yearly Project (congratulations).
Now it’s time to actualize the rest and cement your transformation.
