66. How To Be Awesome At Getting In Your 10s Each Day!! Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

Ready for my best hack for having awesome days?

GET IN YOUR 10s!!

The things that you love doing, or love eating or drinking, or the things that make you feel alive and refreshed and ready to charge the world…

Today we are going to figure out what your 10s actually are… and then how to get them.

AND … help your loved ones get in THEIR 10s! Think about it… the next time you go to stop your spouse or your kids from doing something think… could I just like give a little on this so they can get in this 10 for the day?

Lindsay explains how thinking about it this way, just makes it easy to prioritize things and make sure you are doing things everyday that you love. Cause as we know… it's all the little things that matter.

And it's simple… it's micro… it's daily… it's just being intentional about getting in the little things and the big things each day that make you feel alive and set your soul on fire.

Let's start with a brain dump!

Every time you do something that was fun, or you loved or you would say "that was a 10 for me"… write it down! You have to know what your 10s are so you know what to get in each day.

Here are some of Lindsay's... A great workout with loud music

Waking up super early and getting workout shower get ready before anyone wakes up

Wearing something comfortable that she loves

Having her favorite Malibu farms salad

Having her 120 shake

Playing with Parker in his man cave

Going in the pool with her kids

An outside hike

A champagne pineapple

Recording a really great podcast

Having an organized house

Just some examples to get you thinking! And they will change over time!

One of the best parts about doing this is that it makes you worry less about what other people are doing.

It helps you work through issues by giving your kids or your spouse some leeway too… because you love them so much you want them to be HAPPY. You could be controlling that and not realize it actually!

It also makes you spend less time doing mindless things like watching pointless TV or scrolling social for 4 hours. Now if that is so relaxing and a 10 for you… then DO THAT… but if it's not… then don't spend that precious time doing it!!

Here's the thing…. in our quest to be awesome… and to have awesome days… we have to know what makes us happy and make sure we prioritize right to get those things in. I love this idea of getting in your 10s because it does exactly that. Eliminates the bullshit and makes you stop doing things you don't actually like.. or things that you just do mindlessly and because they are a habit… but are just taking away time that you could be spending… getting in your 10s!

We hope this podcast inspired you to have days filled with lots and lots of 10s!

65. How To Be Awesome at Quitting When Something Isn't Right Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

Today on the podcast, Lindsay is forcing you to be a quitter! In the best way possible! We are talking about quitting the things that no longer make you feel fulfilled- or even worse, make you feel bored or miserable.

We aren't talking about quitting when something gets hard. We are talking about quitting when something doesn't feel right anymore.

Lindsay really believes that sometimes we are stuck doing the wrong thing, but we don't know what the right thing is so we just stay put. But then we aren't giving the universe the white space for us to discover what the right thing actually is.

This type of quitting takes serious psychological courage. You have to be willing to be vulnerable and not afraid of judgment. You have to be willing to accept that you spent time doing something that wasn't right. But that's why we need to cut and run now. Not 2 or 3 or 10 years from now when we are doing the same boring, unfulfilling thing.

Lindsay opens up about things that she's quit (way later than she should have) and a bad habit she didn't even realize was wasting time and bringing her zero fulfillment.

On our journey of trying to be awesome at everything, quitting the wrong things is ultra important. So listen to this episode, then go quit something, or 10 things, that are no longer serving you ❤️

64. How To Be Awesome At Solving Problems Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Lindsay shares everything she's learned about how to stay calm when things go wrong, analyze the problem, figure out the best solution, and execute!

Life is designed to constantly throw problems our way. Problems that we have to deal with! And we have to meet these problems with a reaction, or choose not to react which is actually a reaction in itself.

Are you tackling your problems as they happen and working towards a solution? Or are you procrastinating, distracting and avoiding them? (Often times making them much much worse than they started out to be)

Lindsay is sharing hacks she's learned for tackling problems (even when it's the last thing you feel like doing)… not loosing your cool, not blaming or complaining… just acknowledging the problem, figuring out the best possible outcome and working backwards to get there.

We can't always control what happens to us, or the problems that we face, but we can control our reaction to them and the meaning we give to them.

Her goal in this episode is to help you solve your problems. Fun little hacks for solving small problems that often happen in chaotic moments, and actual strategies that will help you be honest about your problems, not avoid them, and solve them. It's 40 minutes of positivity around something we all have - problems! But we promise it will be a fun time!

62. How To Be Awesome At Realizing How Great We Have It Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

Our ancestors dealt with so much. The Black Plague, Slavery, the Holocaust, kids being sent to fight in war through a draft… the list is endless.

YES we have lots of messed up stuff in our society and in our government … but this podcast is to make you step a back and look at the big picture and realize- we have it SO great. On our worst day, we have it 200 million times better than our ancestors.

Lindsay says she is in no way minimizing the terrible things happening in the world. Completely the opposite. She's going to approach it from a different way, a way of empowerment.

Let's be passionate, let's do good. And let's do it from the perspective of… this is the greatest time to be alive ever… and how awesome it is to live right now. And how many opportunities we have because of technology and how many advantages we have that our ancestors just didn't.

Lindsay shares some very practical ways to change the conversation in your head when it's going down a negative spiral:

Play loud music Listen to a podcast Watch a Ted Talk Call someone positive Do something physical Take a cold shower

The goal today is to realize that we can do so much more each day if we wake up thinking…"HELL YA! I'm alive today and the sun is shining and let's go do stuff!"… rather than all the things that aren't fair in the world.

The opportunity is so ridiculous.

We just need to figure out what we are going to do with it.
