Thanks so much for following along here!

This is the first Medium-powered Letter that I’m sending for my Exhale publication, and I’m curious to see how this works. You are one of the first and early followers that will get this Letter, and I’m grateful for your support and attention. :)

I started my experiment (publishing 30 articles in 30 days to Medium) last week and published my sixth one this morning. It has been encouraging for me to see the views/reads for my articles edge upwards with every new post. Even though I’m challenging myself not to look at such stats much, knowing that others are giving me their attention — even if just for a few minutes at a time — adds to my momentum and motivation to continue writing and publishing. I must admit that on Day Two last week, I experienced a lot of shame and self-doubt because my first post didn’t get that much attention. I am however pushing through and look forward to the journey of the next 24 days.

Today’s post is all about what “Exhale” means to me today. I didn’t add a lot of context that led to my first experience of an exhale, and I will do that sometime towards the end of this experiment. Today’s post, however, represents the philosophy on life that I have developed and reconnected to the experience of taking one, single breath: an exhale.

Most of the things that I will publish throughout the next couple of weeks will also provide you more colour and context to the individual parts of this philosophy.

Read “What is Exhale” now.

Thanks for following along!

Exhale with Adii Pienaar

Exhale is one perspective on the journey through life and business. With Exhale, I will explore some of the non-obvious things I’ve learnt, whilst at the same time passionately unlearning some things about life or business that have not really been helpful at all.
