585 || how to take stock of your life Sep 24, 2022

Show notes

The excerpt* I shared by Sandra Wyllie: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/take-inventory-your-life-sandra-wyllie

*It's never too late to take stock of what

you have and what you want,

what you want to keep and what you

want to let go.

It's never too late to cut those strings

that bind you, tie you up or confine you.

It's really a healthy thing to do

taking inventory of your life, rearranging it

so you know what to keep and what to let go.

Every now and then you have some cleaning

up to do before a mess starts building up.

Then it can feel overwhelming.

And it's hard to even make a start.

But even if your pile is ten feet high if you

make that start you will have one less piece

of junk lying on the top!

584 || it's inventory tiiiime Sep 23, 2022

Show notes

regularly taking inventory can ensure you're heading in the right direction. I’ve recently been taking inventory on the things that bring be joy + the things that I don’t really feel have a long term function in my life. I like to use resets like this to objectively look at my space + take inventory of what is serving it. What is serving me. What can be put away carefully for a future me and what can be thoughtfully gifted or donated to someone who could be served better by it.

583 || self regulation (+ the impact on everyone else) Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

When we practice self-regulation, we get better at avoiding meeting chaos where it is. By stepping up, we show others the way to step up behind us, if they see that path as a worthy one.

L.R. Knost’s said, “When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it’s our job to share our calm, not join their chaos.”

I don't think this just pertains to littles, I think it pertains to everyone.

582 || self control vs regulation Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

i thiiiiink that self control refers to our ability to restrain yourself or consciously act upon impulses as opposed to self regulation referring to our ability to monitor and adjust accordingly. self regulation is more flexible + accommodating + broad; self control is more impulsive + narrowly focused.

but who the hell knows?

581 || process over product Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

Check in with your motivation - is it more for the content or the creation? is it more for the process or the product? because you want to produce a thing or is it because you enjoy producing a thing?

Reinforcing our intrinsic motivation vs. our need for external validation can increase productivity (and more importantly, the enjoyment of our productivity) in the process.

580 || buffer days Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

if you have the privilege to provide yourself with a buffer day? do it.

if you can only afford to tidy little bits at a time, instead of addressing the whole damned thing? do it.

do what you need to function + thrive. don't worry if it's not the system you're used to or the one you prefer. just do what you can, when you can + don't stress too much about the rest.

579 || acting on the ideas Sep 17, 2022

Show notes

there is a power in leaning into your ideas, real hard, right away. Quitsleeping on your ideas + start trusting yourself to act on them right away, before they vanish. We spend a lot of time waiting - waiting for new opportunities, ideas, chances. So instead of waiting, act. Lean in. And trust you'll succeed, or learn a valuable lesson in the attempt.

do you have any closing duties you do naturally, now?

what are they?

are there any you can intentionally implement to improve your relationship with your space?

577 || skewed reality Sep 15, 2022

Show notes

TW: there is mention of emotional abuse throughout this episode.

other people who aim to garner some semblance of control over you may use different tactics to skew your sense of self (and reality) which can make you more and more dependent on the person perpetrating such tactics. today we discuss red flags for help when identifying some of these tactics + common ways they can be overlooked.
