Make Your Damn Bed

Whether to diffuse, or just escape an awkward situation - learning how to change the subject can help others get out of toxic cycles too. Whether discreet or obvious - don't be afraid to change the subject if things are starting to spiral out of control.

The more we remind ourselves that we don’t need to be positive all the time, we will realize there is also no need to be negative either - but by relaxing and redirecting to my breath I can remind myself that there’s nothing I can do NOW and the best possible thing I can do - for my own well being - is to drop it. To let it go. To move on. And allow myself some space between me and the perpetual thought. Thank you for listening to the daily motivation podcast to help you get out of bed, so you can start making it.

If you’re finding yourself dwelling and turning the same concern over and over and over and over, you’re ruminating. And even though it’s incredibly common, it’s also terrible for your mental health. Although the reflection portion of rumination can often be fairly beneficial in finding a solution or process the strong emotions that are associated with the situation, rumination in general is often less proactive and only perpetuates a negative mood surrounding it. Plus, when most people ruminate it’s not with the intention to reflect and grow, so it ends up making us feel more helpless and stressed about the situation occurring in the future. It’s linked to depression and anxiety and is not only a symptom but a cause - so it often becomes a self fulfilling and compounding cycle of toxic thinking. Rumination can make you feel isolated, and can in turn push others away, which becomes a self-fulfilling negativity. It’s also a way to prolong + intensify depression, plus when you’re ruminating on something - you’re not present in the now. You can’t think clearly about next steps if you’re dwelling on past problems. Thank you for listening to the daily motivation podcast to help you get out of bed, so you can start making it.

The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the "vital few").Increase productivity by focusing on the 20% of the input that impacts 80% of the output. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinkruse/2016/03/07/80-20-rule/?sh=37bfd0a3814b“How to 80/20 your work:(1) Make a list of the 10 things you spend the most time on.(2) Circle the two that truly drive your results. Do more of those.(3) Look at the others. Eliminate ruthlessly. Automate or outsource what you can. Press pause on the rest.(4) Repeat” — James ClearSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Parkinson’s Law - according to wikipedia, is the adage the amount of work expands to fill the time available for its completion. If you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute to do. If you give yourself a week to do a two hour task, psychologically speaking the task will increase in difficulty to fill the time available. Typically stress and tension and overwhelm fill the space of the task. I’ve had months to do my taxes and the amount of stress thinking I have done considering doing the taxes, I could’ve completed the damn things three times over already. If you’re trying to clean your house and you don’t have a time limit, you may get caught up detailing a drawer for two hours but if a friend is on their way and you have 20 minutes to tidy - you’ll get more done in less time. Set a vision and a REASONABLE timeline to accomplish the tasks, and watch your time open up!https://www.atlassian.com/blog/productivity/what-is-parkinsons-lawSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.
