Day 216 || Dopamine Hunter 10.09.2021 5:00
The more you consciously DECIDE to feel excited about your healthier choices, the more your brain associates these healthy things with dopamine too. This is how people get addicted to working out and eating right. It starts with small, consistent changes, which we all know and hear about regularly but to me, the most important piece comes from the intentional choice of good feelings surrounding th...
Day 215 || Honing in on a Purpose 09.09.2021 6:41
Jumping around searching desperately for a purpose is a lot more difficult than honing one based on the shit you’ve already got going for you - but that’s not to say, your next favorite thing isn’t right around the corner. Don’t be afraid to try out the new shit and rehash the old shit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/mak...
Day 214 || Big Spender 08.09.2021 5:43
Be conscious of your purchases because it is too often, too simple for us to go full Ariana grande and “I want it I bought it” ourselves into the cumbersome nightmare of amazon boxes and useless shit that didn’t actually feel good when you got it, had to unload it, or when you finally decided to get rid of it six years later and realized the tags were still on it.

Day 213 || Chaotic Spending 07.09.2021 6:17
If you’re like me and you struggle to limit your spending in any capacity - next time you want to buy something new, ask yourself this: Can I afford this? And Do I need this? If the answer is yes to both -great. Buy it! No hesitation. If you say nah I don’t need it and it’s worth it to you to buy it anyway - great. Buy the shit. And if you can’t afford it - that’s a case by case basis. But at leas...
Day 212 || Overthinking + Guessing 06.09.2021 5:43
Because when you’re too busy analyzing what the other person might mean you’re not being present with what they actually said or did. Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 211 || Versions of Reality 05.09.2021 5:40
There are so many versions of reality - often with substantiated evidence that coincides with it - that if you don’t perpetually do valuable research on the research you’re using to support your argument - you’re at the mercy of whatever bozo knows how to type.

Day 210 || Reparenting Struggles 04.09.2021 5:03
what would the younger version of you think about your life right now? Pretend they came for a visit- what would they want to do with you? What cool stuff could you show them to make them excited about growing up? Would you eat the same way or would you change your daily routine when they were in town? Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 209 || Chasing Childlike Joy 03.09.2021 4:26
Children don’t like being bored - and neither do adults. It’s our job to make sure we’re having the best possible time, just like it’s a parents job to make sure that their three year old will be entertained for the entirety of the flight. You are your own three year old. Prepare yourself for the best possible outcome by integrating and promising yourself consistent fun. Learn more about your ad...
Day 208 || Embrace Temporary 02.09.2021 5:43
Remember that there is not enough time in the day to connect deeply with every person you’ve ever known or loved, commit yourself to every project you’ve ever felt inspired by, or accomplish everything you’ve ever wanted to accomplish. So when the universe moves someone or something out of your life - take it as a reminder that everything changes and sometimes the best is yet to come. Learn more...
Day 207 || Get to the Bottom of it 01.09.2021 5:43
It’s not easy to admit you have these problematic beliefs lying dormant inside of you - but the sooner you address them - the sooner you can free yourself of them. It’s not your fault for having toxic beliefs, or even making mistakes under their hold, but it is your responsibility to fix them before anyone gets hurt by the after math of said toxic beliefs.

Day 206 || Feeling Your Best 31.08.2021 4:23
You should never go after something simply because you want to be the best you should go after things because you want to feel your best. Doing your best and being your best are all fine and dandy goals, but if you’re not enjoying the journey, you’ve wasted a very valuable ride. Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 205 || You're Accountable 30.08.2021 4:49
When people criticize us or call us out on our bullshit - it’s because they believe in us. They know we can do better and expect better and trusted us enough to tell us we slipped up. Be gracious. Be kind. Be patient. And understand it’s not a personal attack on your character. It’s a comment on your behavior which can be changed for the better. Focus on growth and developing so you don’t have to...
Day 204 || Let Them Misunderstand You 29.08.2021 4:49
If you’re worried they may spread rumors that hurt your reputation in the long run. Don’t. Your real life actions and character choices are far more valuable than the made up attributes a person claims to believe about you. People who believe unsubstantiated rumors and gossip aren’t people you should want to surround yourself with anyway. Let the trash take itself out and move on to the people who...
Day 203 || Avoiding Coded Language 28.08.2021 4:28
The better you get at communicating openly and vulnerably and clearly, the better everyone around you can get with understanding you where you are now - and the less confrontations you’ll be stuck with. You simply add more stress, more chance for confusion, and a higher potential for confrontation when you avoid discussing things openly and honestly. Instead of using coded language to communicat...

Day 201 || Everything's Working Out 26.08.2021 4:19
Practice extreme optimism today. Look at everything that happens to you today as another opportunity to make your life the best possible life on this planet. Every decision you make today is a new opportunity to make your wildest dreams come true. Every surprise that hits you in the teeth is there to teach you a valuable lesson that will catapult you into your next incredible adventure that will c...
Day 200 || Optimism is Deep 25.08.2021 4:08
If you believe it’s all hopeless, you are correct. It is hopeless. If you believe there is hope for a better tomorrow - you are correct, there is hope for a better tomorrow. You can’t see what you’re not looking for and if you’re not looking for the best possible outcome, you’ll never receive it. This is why I find it so incredibly deep and powerful to be able to address the most optimistic aspect...

Day 198 || Mutual Aids 23.08.2021 4:36

Day 197 || Equity vs. Equality 22.08.2021 6:14
Equality means everyone is treated the same exact way, regardless of need or any other individual difference. Equity, on the other hand, means everyone is provided with what they need to succeed. Equity takes into account every person’s individual needs. It evens the playing field so that everyone has the same chance of succeeding, regardless of whatever potential hindrances may have originally s...
Day 196 || Restricting Restrictions 21.08.2021 4:39
Restricting doesn’t work. Live fully. At full volume. Intentionally. Be laid back in the results but don’t be afraid to voice what you really want. Because when you hold back — you’re only serving to hold yourself back in the process. Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 195 || Othering Yourself 20.08.2021 4:39
Try the restaurant. Book the vacation. Share the date if you’re really desperate for the company but fuck me if you don’t stop wasting your life in hopes that someday someone will want to live your IDEAL life with you. You already have that person who wants to experience your life with you - it’s you bitch. Go play. Go indulge. Stop putting it off. Use the expensive lotion. Book the nicer hotel. S...
Day 194 || Commit to Your Damn Self 19.08.2021 5:34
if I’d do it for a man who betrayed me - I should definitely not hesitate to do it for me who would never betray me. Learn more about your ad choices.
