Make Your Damn Bed

There is nothing better than getting a lurking task off of your to do list - especially if it’s been nagging you for more than a few weeks. Get out of your comfort zone - knock the shit out - then reward yourself for being such a bad ass.  Instead of dreading that to do list every time you rewrite it and add the same old bullshit to the end of it, try breaking it up into manageable baby steps. Ded...

Stop stressing and procrastinating because "it’s not going to be perfect” and make the process of planning it enjoyable - which will feel better than perfect could. Also, let’s not forget tastes change and the shit you’re obsessed with now may drive you up the wall in ten years. None of that specific shit really matters unless it’s genuinely sentimental to you.   Learn more about your ad choices....

Cars are a literal miracle we have become so used to - we forget how amazing it is. Think about the fuel itself. Gasoline is combustible, dangerous, and potentially deadly if not used properly. But if you harness that incredibly powerful resource, you can make cars drive across the country and literal airplanes fly into the sky.  Our emotions are the same way. Both big emotions and jet fuel, can b...

Feeling Good should be the focus of your day to day. This does not mean to only do the things that feel good in the moment - what it means is to actively decide to change the way you feel about the shit you have to do. It takes time and practice.

Your friends and loved ones often won’t feel comfortable inviting themselves into parts of your life because it’s yours and they don’t understand a thing about it. And, honestly, if that’s how you want to keep it, great. But if you feel like you’ve been lacking a sense of connection, don’t be afraid to occasionally allow the people you trust to join you where are you are you are your most comforta...

 Like anything, optimizing your space can be a slippery slope - and you may feel like it’s never perfect and can always be better. To you, I say relax. Fix what matters but recognize there is never a perfect solution to anything - and it’s about feeling your best. Stressing over what makes it the best is not feeling your best. Take a step back, ask yourself it’s working well enough for the time be...

Optimizing your space takes time, self awareness, and it means getting comfortable rearranging as often as you need to to ensure that your space continues working for you as you grow and change.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

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...

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.

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.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
