Episode notes
Beat Procrastination With Good Enough
- Avoid procrastination by treating each task as 'only today' and practice 'good-enough' instead of perfectionism.
- Fenster notes Reb Nachman procrastinated by promising to rest tomorrow and links procrastination to fear and perfectionism.
Judge Yourself And Others Favorably
- Judge yourself and others favorably to increase your capacity to receive blessings and hold greater outcomes.
- Fenster explains this second Torah (Lesson 282) makes you 'sing' by extracting good notes from bad events.
You Must Believe You Can Hold Blessings
- Capacity to receive blessings depends on how you view yourself; 'I don't deserve' identity blocks blessings.
- Fenster links low self-esteem to being unable to 'hold' blessings even when God wants to give them.
