WEEKLY RECAP August 17th - 23rd, 2019 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, August 17th (AM) Remember: in this moment, you only need to solve the problem in front of you. Which is a good thing, because that’s the only problem you really CAN solve in this moment. | | |
|
| | Saturday, August 17th (PM) You don’t have to LIKE the things you need to do to stay emotionally healthy. You just have to figure out a way to get yourself to do them. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, August 18th (AM) Your brain is not dumb. It knows when you're just trying to put a happy face on an event that is actually quite disappointing. Acknowledge when you're bummed. | | |
|
| | Sunday, August 18th (PM) Our goals and values are what keep us grounded and guided. If you don't feel grounded and guided by your goals and values, reevaluate them. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, August 19th (AM) Yes, be passionate. Yes, be committed. But be intelligent. Manage your resources--don't just burn them. | | |
|
| | Monday, August 19th (PM) Breathe.Yeah, you may not have taken advantage of every opportunity to nudge toward your goals. Inhale; exhale. | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, August 20th (Blog) "THE USES AND MISUSES OF ‘ACT AS IF.’" “Act as if” is a tool. Like most tools, it can help us build houses and fix things that are broken…or it can smash fingers. How do we know when it’s the right time and place to use the “act as if” concept? | | |
|
| | Tuesday, August 20th (PM) A lot of the time when we're confronted with how difficult things are, we go into panic mode...because we realize we cannot control how difficult things are a lot of the time. So we try to seize control of the situation by reframing the difficulty of whatever's facing us. Resist this impulse. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, August 21st (AM) Look at your life. Look at your time management. Look at where you focus every day. Are you being real about who you are? Are you being real about what's important to you? | | |
|
| | Wednesday, August 21st (PM) When did you last conquer procrastination, and do something you didn't feel like doing? Because I know you've done that at least once. What helped you do that? | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, August 22nd (Blog): “EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY. EVEN YOU AND ME.” Everything is temporary. The reason it’s important to be clear about this is, a lot of people can get plenty discouraged when they look at “who they are”…and they don’t like what they see. | | |
|
| | Thursday, August 22nd (PM) See something that kind of trips your trigger? Try it out. Don't worry about what others might say. They don't have to do it. You might find things you love. You might find things that are fun. You might find things that were less fun or less interesting than you thought. But you won't know, unless you try. Go for it. It might be awesome. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, August 23rd (AM) We need certain kinds of unhappiness in our lives at certain times. They're no fun. But they're the only path to a complete human experience. | | |
|
| | Friday, August 23rd (PM) Sometimes drama in our lives is distracting us from something we don't want to think about or deal with. Something a lot of people don't like to admit is they find drama kind of fun. | | |
