What a journey this has been so far.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, I\u2019m going to run through some of the highlights of the year for me and my business, and then share the best Zen Habits posts of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at some of the highlights of the year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Zen Habits Podcast<\/strong> \u2014 the biggest accomplishment for me this year was the launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/link.chtbl.com\/ZenHabits\">Zen Habits Podcast<\/a>! I\u2019ve been wanting to create one for years, and now finally have. Season 1 was called Joy + Fear, and was about resistance around our meaningful work. I got so much great feedback on it, I can\u2019t wait to launch the next season in a month or two.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Retreats in Costa Rica &amp; North Carolina<\/strong> \u2014 For the first time since the pandemic, we held live, in-person retreats! It was incredibly powerful. It was a part of my <a href=\"https:\/\/ignite.zenhabits.net\/fm-2024\">Fearless Mastery program<\/a>, but also opened to a small group of Zen Habits readers. So awesome to work with all of these amazing people in person!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relaunch of Fearless Mastery<\/strong> \u2014 I\u2019ve been running my <a href=\"https:\/\/ignite.zenhabits.net\/fm-2024\">Fearless Mastery small group coaching program<\/a> for a few years, and it\u2019s been amazing \u2026 but in 2024, it will be a whole new beast. It will be 9 months instead of 5, and include a retreat in London in April. <a href=\"https:\/\/ignite.zenhabits.net\/fm-2024\">There are still a few spots open<\/a>! We officially kick off on Jan. 16.<\/li>\n<li><strong>FLA Uncertainty challenge &amp; app<\/strong> \u2014 In my Fearless Living Academy, we launched the Uncertainty Challenge, which runs every month and is aimed at helping you get better at uncertainty and resistance. It\u2019s been really powerful for participants! And we created a simple app to help you log your challenge, included in your FLA membership.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finished book on my grandma<\/strong> \u2014 After 4 years of working on a book about my grandma\u2019s life (she\u2019s turning 95 in 2024!), I finally finished it. With my mom\u2019s help. Still doing the layout and printing it for my grandma, but I\u2019m proud of it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased fitness<\/strong> \u2014 Other than all of the above, the biggest change for me in 2023 was that I got fitter after letting things go a little in the pandemic. I used fitness challenges with my wife and kids, and it really helped me up my game throughout the year. I have more big goals around fitness in 2024, but in the past year I lost about 10 pounds, got into pretty decent running shape, and got stronger and fitter all around.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Posts of 2023<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve collected what I consider the best of my Zen Habits posts for the past year, I hope you find value in them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/powerful-mindset\/\">6 Powerful Mindset Shifts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/still-behind\/\">Transforming the Constant Feeling of Being Behind<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/be-all-in\/\">Be All In: Unlock Your Full Power<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/get-done\/\">How I Get Things Done<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/lifetime\/\">The Moment of a Lifetime<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/transcendence\/\">Transcendent: Take on Work &amp; Life from Another Level<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/escape\/\">We\u2019re Mostly Trying to Escape This Moment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/wisdom-non-effort\/\">The Wisdom of Non-Effort<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/spiritual-inbox\/\">Mastering the Inbox as a Spiritual Practice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/luminous-reality\/\">The Parable of Luminous Reality<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And More<\/h3>\n<p>For more best of Zen Habits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/best-of-zen-habits-in-2007\/\">Best of Zen Habits in 2007<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/the-essential-zen-habits-of-2008\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2008<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/essential-2009\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2009<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2010\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2010<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2011\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2011<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2012\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2012<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2013\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2013<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2014\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2014<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2015\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2015<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2016\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2016<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2017\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2017<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2018\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2018<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2019\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2020\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2020<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2021\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2021<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2022\/\">The Essential Zen Habits of 2022<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h5>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/zh2023\/\">Essential Zen Habits of 2023<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\">zen habits<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Leo Babauta It\u2019s the end of 2023, and I\u2019ve just finished my 17th year of publishing Zen Habits!
