WEEKLY RECAP January 13th-19th 2018 |
|
|
| | Tuesday, January 16th:
“The zen of flying blind." Everyone is blinded by something. Maybe we’re blinded a little when it comes to some things, or blinded a lot when it comes to other things. But we must come face to face with the reality that our vision is always at least somewhat obscured. What blinds us? | | |
|
| | Thursday, January 18th: “Your experience is valid. Full stop." We’re a culture that loves to judge how “valid” others’ experiences— particularly their painful experiences— are. We love to apply our own standards of “how bad” an experience has to be before it’s considered to be “valid” as a painful, damaging thing. | | |
|
|
| | Saturday, January 13th (AM) You have to FIND the little times, the little moments, the little opportunities to focus on the life you're trying to create. You have to do it on purpose. It won't happen by accident. | | |
|
| | Saturday, January 13th (PM) You know how, when what you DO corresponds closely with what you SAY, your level of respect and esteem with other people rises? | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, January 14th (AM) Know what matters – to you. Lots of people will spend lots of time trying to convince you that WHAT MATTERS MOST is what matters most to THEM. | | |
|
| | Sunday, January 14th (PM) It's tempting to think we are our struggles. To confuse our very being with our failures. To think we ARE our limitations. Listen to what I'm gonna tell you right now... | | |
|
|
| | Monday, January 15th (AM) Maybe you'll benefit from the same bit of wisdom that your friend, your mom, your coworker, or whoever else is trying to offer you advice did; maybe you won't. Don't feel bad either way. | | |
|
| | Monday, January 15th (PM) You can either intentionally make the time to relax, enjoy, and hit the reset button in your life...or your brain will do it for you, by sabotaging your ability to concentrate, dialing down your energy level... | | |
|
|
Tuesday, January 16th (PM) Isn't it cute when personal growth or self-help teachers try to convince you that the only obstacles you face are in your mind? It's a great deal for folks seeking simplistic answers to complex life problems. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, January 17th (AM) Thank goodness life often doesn't go according to plan. After all, there are plenty of people out there with plans that aren't consistent with our best interests and passions - I'm rather glad their plans don't always work out. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, January 17th (PM) Nobody around you has mind-control or mind-reading powers. It's an inconvenient fact, but it's true: we have to use our words. It's not always easy to use our words. It's not always convenient to use our words. | | |
|
|
Thursday, January 18th (PM) We can't be responsible for what other people hear. But ONLY we can be responsible for what we say. The fact that other people will often misunderstand us, misinterpret us, distort what we say, or dismiss what we say, isn't our cue to say, "screw it." | | |
|
|
| | Friday, January 19th (AM) Happiness matters. Your happiness matters. Understanding what makes you happy is important. Taking risks to enhance your happiness is legit. | | |
|
| | Friday, January 19th (PM) If you could say, in words, what you’ve been dying to say for years now...what would it be? That thing that has been just out of reach. That thing that needs to be said. | | |
