Why do you listen to me, week after week? If it's not your first time, there's a reason you keep coming back -- nuggets of knowledge that spoke to you, right? When you listen to an episode and think, "I know someone else who needs to hear this message", please share this podcast directly to them so they can gain some gold nuggets from me to their own ears. I appreciate all the support from my listeners!
In this hyper responsive society we currently live in, with our children expecting instant gratification constantly, they now are silently breeding this subconscious sense of anxiety if patience is being executed in its place. Nowadays, we can get almost anything we want delivered to us in a matter of days. Even better, if we are blessed to live in a large city, 2 hours from now for most stuff you probably don't even need.
We have created these digital dependencies with our phones, staring at our screens all day, forgetting about connecting with the world going on all around us. So how can we find a way to reconnect with what matters most, the things going on outside of our phones? Go in your phone right now, check your daily screen time, and set a goal you are willing to work towards to make sure you are still present while you are awake. Become more intentional with your time alive and aware of how much you have to be grateful for, and be grateful. Fill your moments with positivity and embrace an abundance mentality rather than sabotaging your own happiness with a negative mindset, or worse, pushing your shitty mood onto your kids.
Analyze your own movements and really take accountability for how much effort you are really putting in to the things you do. How quickly do you correct your (re)actions? How long do you allow something to gnaw at you before you address it?
How could you better prepare so the situation doesn't duplicate itself in the future so that the way you feel now you don't have to feel again?
