Why Chasing 25 and Get Out of the Swamp Work So Well Together
Lately I have been getting asked a lot which book to start with? Honestly, my answer is two of them. No that is not some kind of sales pitch. It is just flat out honesty, let me explain why i Recommend both Chasing 25 and Get Out Of The Swamp.
First of all, Chasing 25 covers 25 different lessons I had to learn the hard way. It is not a memoir, think of it more as a survival guide from me to you and a companion to accompany you. Chasing 25 touches on heavy life themes like grief, self-priority, letting go, showing up for yourself when nobody else is going to. It names the thing. It sits with you in whatever slump or heavy season you're in and tells you the truth about it instead of trying to sell you on some sort of quick fix.
Get Out of the Swamp is the part that I believe could be a huge way to help you further process both what you are going through and what you are reading. It's a guided journal, 52 weeks, and each week gives you a prompt, a challenge, and a quote to sit with. Nothing more complicated than that.
Here's the thing about Get Out of the Swamp, I built it on purpose. It's not meant to be a daily journal. You can do it every day if that's what you want to do or if that is what you need. You can work in it every other day or once a week, the way it's actually intended. The whole purpose to try and help take that silent pressure off of daily journaling.
I know how overwhelming daily journaling can feel. I had always wanted to be one of those people who could daily journal, especially given my love for writing but it just wasn’t for me if I am being honest. I created Get Out Of The Swamp to take that silent pressure away. That pressure to sit down every single day and have to sort of find something to say is exactly what keeps a lot people from starting. So I built Get Out of the Swamp to work around that instead of against it. We already have so much on our plates and for me adding another daily task on top of all the other stuff kind makes me want to do nothing at all so I took that narrative away when it came down to journaling.
That is exactly why these two work so well side by side. Chasing 25 tells you what you're carrying and gives you the lessons to move through it. Get Out of the Swamp gives you somewhere to actually put that down, one week at a time, or at whatever pace you would like to actually keep.
You don't need to have it figured out to start either one. You just have to start.
