I’m planning on knocking your socks off during this book – showing you step by step how to bring the things that you care about – big or small – to fruition and how to do it easily.
So let’s get started on the Care Factor part of this wonderful journey.
Let your mind wander and notice what you care about. Maybe it’s something irritating like you’re always the one who ends up with the crappy meal at the restaurant. Or at the other end of the scale, is it life important healing for yourself or a loved one? Is there something you want to achieve with your business, your job, your love life? For my horse loving friends, this is where you can think about what you’re looking for with your horse, what you want to achieve, what you want to feel like, what you want them to feel like when you’re together.
Maybe someone is being a serious pain in the butt or you’re in a difficult relationship? Maybe you care more about other people’s problems than your own? It could be as “small” as caring about a clean house and someone keeps making a mess, or it could be as large as the state of the oceans.
Maybe you desperately want something – financial or food security. Are the big world problems like the environment or integrity in government or war or violence the things you really care about? Or is it something in your own life? Whatever it is – there’s no Care Factor too big or too small – just allow your mind to wander and identify the things you personally really care about.
This isn’t what other people care about either, or what you think you should care about – this list of things is unique to you. And here’s a hint – they may be the things that make you feel angry or upset.
Don’t worry if it feels so big that it’s not within your influence to do anything about it or if you think it’s not your job to change it. It can even be something so small you think it’s ridiculous to care so much – just notice what you care about. We’ll be talking about the “how” later.
And yeah we’ll have a laugh together in a live event one day, when we look back at the things that we considered too big or too hard or we thought we were powerless about.
Why don’t you write them down so you can look back on it later? And if you’d like to share it with us, you can put it in the comments.

I care about getting out and about with my two horsey friends. I care that I’m NOT currently getting out with them. I am impatient for this. I am curious about how to do it, what is missing and why. What am I to learn? I feel open to it, and I feel that they want it, and I want it. But we are blocked. Taking the curiosity to this.
Ooo That’ll be an interesting one! <3
This is great and great start on the New Year😍 when it comes to curiosity, I believe that I am a curious human and that the curiosity had led me to where I am today, but when I feel into it, I got a happy feeling but also stuck feeling in my chest. And that makes me curious feeling into impatience I’ve got a bubbling feeling.
When it comes to what I care about, I care about many things. One thing is that it seems to be impossible for me to have my own time and space. And here I am impatient. I think this is the most important to me right now.
⛄️💞
Ahhh the wonders of impatience when it’s not stuck Anna Karin. <3 Much love to you.
There will be a big change in my life soon, I will quit my job as a teacher, work extra in a garden trade and after that I will see what’s will turn up 😌
I’m somewhere in the middle of the book and there has been a lot about the change places. Jenny, I’m familiar with this framework for getting to a goal or “something you care about.” I’m feeling pretty lost, though, because I don’t feel a strong connection to any particular goal, however “big” or freely I try to imagine it. Not knowing what I really want is what I feel blocked about.
Any pointers here?
I’m sure there will be other people with a similar question Robyn, thanks for bringing it up. That blocked feeling – each time you notice it, you could get curious about that. Also, when you look around your life and your world, is there anything that upsets you or worries you? That’s a pretty good indication of Care Factor. Or do you already feel a deep sense of inner peace, even in your dreams, are surrounded by the world you want and don’t actually want anything else at all?
So many things came to mind and a common thread is that they rely on improving my physical and mental health. I’d love to unlock the freedom within myself to take up space (I did not about that sentence before I wrote it, it’s like it wrote itself. Curious!).
I’m also going to note that I am extremely sceptical that I can change things to the degree where I can ride again, find romantic love, be present and engage more with my family (and for some reason, develop basic carpentry skills!). So hopefully we get to laugh about my skepticism one day 🙂
Oh Michaela, I look forward to that too. And wowwwww about that sentence writing itself – that sounds powerful! Can you feel me smiling from here? See if you can find curiosity about your feeling skeptical. I reckon there’ll be an ahhhaaa understanding in there. And, if you’ve never had me do a quick test for the physical causes of mental health issues, come back to me.
Quit my job. Start a business.
Ooooo good luck with that Andrew! Or should I say, happy inner guidance system!
