Make Your Damn Bed

Being able to condense intimidating things that I’ve been dreading to a post-it note has reinstated a sense of control over these tasks. Plus, it made me realize I was trying to overlap some things that were meant to be two different sticky notes all along.

When you need to go into a more low power mode, let yourself. Let yourself. Nobody gives a shit if your bed stays unmade, there’s no consequence if you didn’t hydrate enough yesterday. Life doesn’t suddenly stop being unpredictable (and sometimes terrible) when we perfectly optimize our routine. Nobody is gonna cuss you out for not cleaning the toilet.  So many of us believe that we’ll be hap...

Remember you can restart your life at any time, which means you don’t have to do it on anyone else’s schedule. If the idea of reflecting or doing shit to better your life sounds like an impossible task at the moment, don’t sweat it. We don’t need a new year to tell us to start flossing our teeth or putting our book down before bed. We can do that on any given day at any given time. So if you need,...

First we notice, then we honor, then we act.  Notice where you are now, where you’d like to head, what someone heading there would do next, then continue to take action and make decisions that honor those things until you reach your destination. Again, it’s important to get to know your personal values and become someone who honors those motivations so that this will make sense for you in the...

When we forgive ourselves for behaving like a human in the past, we give ourselves permission to live freely in the future. Let yourself have the space it actually takes to learn, grow, and become. Be open to challenge but patient with yourself in the process. Resistance is required for building strength, but so is the rest period that follows. Focus on the enjoying the process and the product wil...

if you have the capacity to do some reflecting, the beginning of the year makes for good excuse as any to check in. We won’t be able to change what we don’t see. And sometimes it’s about opening our eyes to the place we are right now by taking a moment to honor the person we were just last year.  Iif you’re at a place to do so, take note of your life by asking yourself some reflective qu...

another reboot/rerelease/refresh on a timeless topic (for me anyway) and it's all about the action being the most integral part of bringing an idea to life.

historically speaking, christmas kinda sucks for me but this year I made it a little less trash by being honest with what I needed + making it happen, but if that ain't an option, here's my favorite strategy for beating grief at it's own game.

sometimes we do things we feel obligated to and start to resent - when we could've just communicated our needs and had them met in real time.

when a confrontation is to be expected, let yourself prepare for the situation in whatever way works best for you. there's nothing wrong with: 1. preparing a potential backup response 2. excusing yourself to collect yourself 3. prepare a deflection or "out" with someone safe WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemerica GET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com BUY SOME MERCH: https://www.te...

the closer we are to the problem, the easier it is to assess with the appropriate harshness. questions like what can we simplify? where have we been over-complicating shit? how are we wasting our time/effort/money? can really help us keep in touch with the shit that really matters.

when we focus on the VALUES we don't stress so much about the COST. plus, the more thoughtful we are, the more money (and stress) we save.

Celebrations = automatic stress, even when everything goes perfectly. That said, we can reduce stress if we're strategic (and realistic) with our planning. The value of experience will always outweigh the actual details, so get real with your values and align with that, as best ya can.

The inspiration for the episode: libraford : I think part of the issue is people assuming that everyone MUST want to move upwards. Like... it's the next logical step for a person to want to move up the chain: from worker to manager, to district manager, eventually owner. But I always think of growth like plants. Aspens grow tall to reach the sun, for sure. But dandelions grow deep, understanding t...
