Midweek Momentum: The Places That Bring You to Life

Hi friend,

Some places just feel right. They make you feel alive, connected, and like your truest self. Sometimes, it’s a physical place. Other times, it’s a state of mind, a specific routine, or a version of life that you’ve briefly experienced but never forgotten.

We spend so much time chasing goals, building careers, and following plans that we rarely stop to ask: Am I even in the right place?

The right place gives you energy. The wrong place drains you. The right place feels expansive. The wrong place makes you feel like you need to be someone else just to fit in.

This week, think about where you feel most like yourself. If you haven’t been there in a while, maybe it’s time to go back.

STORIES FROM THE PATH: FINDING HOME IN EL SALVADOR

The first time I visited El Salvador, something clicked. After spending my whole life surrounded by the hustle and bustle of cities and business, I felt a sense of freedom and belonging I had never experienced before.

The vibe was incredible—relaxed, open, and filled with a “do whatever you want” energy. My family was united in a way that made every moment feel special. Since I’m the oldest, everyone wanted to be around me. It was both humbling and heartwarming.

That trip left a lasting impression on me. It made me realize that El Salvador is where I feel most like my true self. One day, I know I’ll call it home again, because it’s the place where I truly felt alive.

Sometimes, it’s not about where you’ve been. It’s about finding the place that makes you feel most like yourself.

YOUR SHORTCUT TO CLARITY

Knowing where you belong isn’t always easy, but it starts with understanding what truly matters to you.

I put together a 5-Minute Self-Check Guide to help you quickly identify the environments, routines, and decisions that bring you energy vs. the ones that drain you. If you’re feeling stuck or out of alignment, this is a simple way to get clear on what’s next.

The places, people, and routines that make you feel alive are worth holding onto.

QUICK WIN: THE ONE-MINUTE PRIORITY CHECK

Here’s a quick exercise to bring focus to your day.

Write down everything on your mind—tasks, worries, goals. Pick the one thing that, if completed today, would make you feel accomplished.

That’s it. Start there, and let the rest fall into place. When you prioritize what matters most, everything else becomes easier to manage.

Stay focused (or at least pretend to),
Jonathan
