Do you know someone who is calm and collected under pressure, who just never seems to let the chaos and confusion of life derail them or get under their skin?

Conversely, do you know someone who always just seems bothered by everything that is going on around them and in the world? 

If we want to become battle-ready for life, or in other words, ready for whatever battles we will need to face in our daily lives, the first thing we need to do is become imperturbable, and safeguard our own inner peace, serenity, and joy!  We need to learn to protect our own little happy place inside! 

And yet it is so easy to get caught up in the commotion of our culture and the “dooms-daying” of all the troubles, real and imagined, that are rampant in the news and social media.  While we need to prepare for real life, we also cannot let it all rob us of our hope and courage.  We can’t let the chaos disturb us!

In this episode, I share the first of Sunzi's five butt-kicking boot-camp strategies for becoming battle-ready for life: Becoming undisturbable and imperturbable in the midst of chaos. This episode includes three tactical actions for getting what we want in our lives, out of our lives, and for our lives:

  1. Decide what we want and absolutely must hold on to.

  2. Let go of anything else that gets in the way of that, takes us space, or doesn't contribute.

  3. Establish good boundaries.
