WEEKLY RECAP November 11th-17th 2017 |
|
|
| | Tuesday, November 14th:
“Growth and the zen of go-karting."
The root of a great deal of unhappiness out there is the thought, “I SHOULD be better at this.” It gives rise to a host of other unhelpful “SHOULD” statements... | | |
|
| | Thursday, November 16th: “Itches and scratches.” A lot of the advice, feedback, and food for thought we receive won’t fit or work for our specific situation, for whatever reason. Either we have a situation that makes the advice... | | |
|
|
| | Saturday, November 11th (AM) A professional fighter can waste an entire fight waiting to land that knockout punch. He’ll hold back, round after round, waiting for just the perfect opening to land that perfect punch. Sometimes that opening comes along... | | |
|
| | Saturday, November 11th (PM) Be real. Be honest. Be KNOWN for being real and being honest. So many people are sunk so deeply in denial about how the world works, that your commitment to reality can instantly set you apart from everyone around you. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, November 12th (AM) Our diseases and weaknesses will try very hard to define us if we let them. | | |
|
| | Sunday, November 12th (PM) Sometimes you can’t do something— you’re just too tired, too drained, too hurt. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, November 13th (AM) Yesterday I ran a marathon. Wanna know the secret to running a marathon? (Faithful readers of this page already know exactly what I’m going to say next.) Run the mile you’re on. | | |
|
| | Monday, November 13th (PM) It’s be great if we never experienced anxiety or sadness. But we do. So why do we spend so much time pretending we don’t? | | |
|
|
Tuesday, November 14th (PM) Just demanding that you "STOP" a harmful behavior doesn't often work. You need to provide your brain an alternative that meets at least SOME of the needs the old behavior was meeting. If we could just STOP doing things that are harmful to us, well, we'd never do anything that was harmful to us. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, November 15th (AM) Lots and lots of people and organizations have agendas for how they would prefer we think, feel, and behave. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, November 15th (PM) You might be awesome. But you're not removed from the physical laws that govern our universe. Specifically, you need sleep; you need hydration; you need nourishment. No, really. You do. | | |
|
|
Thursday, November 16th (PM) Every moment gives us the opportunity to press the “reset” button on how we approach a day, a problem, or a situation. Every moment we can decide to approach something with fresh eyes, no matter how far we’ve come already. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, November 17th (AM) Bullies function through intimidation and manipulation. There are plenty of bullies coming at us every day, from a variety of sources. | | |
|
| | Friday, November 17th (PM) Feelings don't just crop up on their own, in a vacuum. If you're having an emotional reaction, there's almost always a series of thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes that are informing and supporting that reaction. | | |
