2 questions to ask yourself
|
Hi friend, If you're one of those people who feels like you always have to be doing something, we might have a problem. However, I don't want you to swing the complete opposite direction. Don't do nothing! Instead, give yourself a little bit more room before your automatic habit to be productive takes over. Here are the two questions you can ask yourself when you have the urge to be productive for productivity's sake:
Take a minute to think or journal through these questions. You can still make the plans. Or you might decide to stay home. You might do the chore. Or you might decide it can wait until tomorrow, or even next week. What matters is giving yourself enough space to actually decide. Taking that space will give you more range in how you respond to your life, and as you know, that's what we practice here! Thanks for reading. Coach Jose 💛

Hi friend, Is your first reaction when someone tells you something, "Yeah. They're probably right." Do you go along with what other people say? For example, awhile ago, someone told me that I was too nice, and that I needed to work on that. My immediate reaction was, "Yeah. I know. That’s not good.” But then I thought about it for a second. I don't want to keep accepting other people's opinions before I've taken the time to figure out what I actually think. I don’t get to develop a very clear...
Hi friend, I’ve been talking a lot about disappointment lately. And I really want you to know that it’s not just something to get through. Disappointment can give us valuable information: It can tell us we expected too much in a certain situation, or it can tell us that something really mattered to us. But we won’t get the benefits of this information if we decide what we’re going to do with the disappointment before we even take the time to truly notice it. Let’s practice noticing together....
