Make Your Damn Bed

when I think about the 5 love languages, I can't help but think about how restrictive they feel. I want them to be more flexible, More open to different energies + days + moments. But then again, the guy who put them on the map kinda sucks, too. So - there's that. There are some good things about them, in my opinion + I talk about those aspects today, too.

depending on what we've been dealt - we are so used to some things - that they seem to be expectations in our lives at this point. if we're not careful - that can become white noise + we may not even notice it augmenting our sense of reality after a while. learning how to stand up for ourselves - in a way that both honors our values + diffuses the situation - is a difficult practice but one that can afford the luxury of both hearing others + feeling heard.

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. TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSEE MY FACE + OTHER CONTENT: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR DAILY(ish) QUOTES: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast luh you. and don't forget to drink your damn water.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

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.

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?resources: https://www.verywellhealth.com/self-regulation-5225245https://www.mffy.com/articles/self-regulation-vs-self-control-whats-the-differenceTUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSEE MY FACE + OTHER CONTENT: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR DAILY(ish) QUOTES: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast luh you. and don't forget to drink your damn water.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

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.
