HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE HUSTLE
The first thing to consider is gaining clarity regarding the kind of life you want to live once you've freed yourself from the hustle. Surprisingly, many individuals neglect to envision their ideal life, making it challenging to bring it forth into reality.
Step 1: If there were no limitations and you had all the resources you needed, write out in as much detail as possible your ideal life.
Step 2: As you do step 1, pay attention to the mechanisms (limiting beliefs, narratives, stories) that cause you to have fear, worry, doubt, judgement, etc., toward the ideal life you are imagining.
Step 3: Measure the strength of your belief in achieving your ideal life on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 indicates the lowest level of belief and 10 represents 100% confidence. Be honest with yourself. Lying to yourself will only keep you caught up in the life you don’t want to be living.
The first two steps are necessary to assess the level of belief you are holding toward the ideal life you’d like to live. It may already be obvious to you, but you need to hold a strong belief that you could live the ideal life you imagine. If you desire to live a life that is YOURS, you must not underestimate the power of belief and faith.
Otherwise, you will only draw forth experiences that reflect your lack of belief and soon you’ll find yourself falling back into the thoughts and behaviors that resulted in the life you are wanting to change.
Step 4: Once you complete the earlier steps and realize you’re not at a 10, take note of the mechanisms (limiting beliefs, narratives, stories) that block you from being a 10. Reflect on your daily activities and ask: does each task lift me up, leave me neutral, or bring me down?
When a task feels like a "lift," get after it!
If the feeling is neutral, consider revisiting it later so you can take more time to reflect on it.
Any tasks that lower your vibe are often driven by negative mechanisms. Drop them completely or engage only when you feel uplifted.
Most importantly, take the time to reflect on why you're considering these tasks in the first place; doing so enables you to better understand the core beliefs that are the reason you are living the life you currently live. Awareness and deep understanding of these mechanisms allows you to disengage from them so that you can free yourself and strengthen the beliefs that are aligned with your desired life.
Step 5: After identifying your ideal life and any mechanisms that prevent you from fully believing you could have such a life, outline short and long-term goals to guide your actions towards your ideal life. Then, create daily tasks and projects aimed at achieving these goals.
Step 6: In my opinion, the following step is the most important when unsubscribing from the hustle mentality.
This step involves recognizing your connection to a universal system which enables you to trust that Life will provide for your essential needs when you align with it.
Think of trees, who are anchored in one place for their entire life, yet are able to receive all they need to thrive because of their alignment to this system.
Re-orienting in this way frees you from being dependent on external sources such as individuals, governmental entities, or organizations to get your needs met. It also releases you from the idea that you must exert control, force, or serve as the sole creator of your necessities. You can then relax into the flow of Life as you embrace your true self, and generously share your talents and gifts without being blocked by feelings of scarcity or lack.
This is the roadmap I'm using to unsubscribe from the hustler mentality.
Although the steps are over-simplified, you can rely on this roadmap to untangle the hustle mentality. It's the same formula myself and my clients have used to successfully change other aspects of our lives. At the same time, I understand some may need additional guidance and support.

Keep in mind, your life won’t change overnight with this roadmap. It may take time to undo years of conditioning. But if you prioritize and dedicate time to the process daily, you’ll be surprised by how soon you might begin seeing some real change.
