Make Your Damn Bed

Once you reframe the ideas around criticism, you can better hear out the words that are being communicated to you and you may just walk away with a new perspective.That said, even if you get good at knowing why something is happening, it can still be difficult to have to actually bone up and sit through the experience in real time. Tomorrow I will share a structured way to get through a personal critique and hopefully give you a few tips to make the process a little less painful and a bit more constructive. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Any time I feel particularly discouraged, hopeless, or lost and need a pick me up, I play a very fun call and response game with the universe to remind me that life can be fun and more malleable if we get intentional with ourselves and our thoughts. How to initiate a play date with the universe:1. Choose something to visualize + manifest. 2. Keep searching for that thing over the next week. That’s it. All you have to do is ask to see more _____ and you see get more ______. You’ll be shocked at how much you see whatever you chose. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence "over time, we tend to optimize and conventionalize our responses to whatever life brings. Each of us develops our shorthand ways of slotting and processing everyday experiences and solving problems, and while this is no doubt adaptive—it helps us get the job done with a minimum of fuss—eventually it becomes rote. It dulls us. The muscles of attention atrophy. Habits are undeniably useful tools, relieving us of the need to run a complex mental operation every time we’re confronted with a new task or situation. Yet they also relieve us of the need to stay awake to the world: to attend, feel, think, and then act in a deliberate manner. (That is, from freedom rather than compulsion.) If you need to be reminded how completely mental habit blinds us to experience, just take a trip to an unfamiliar country. Suddenly you wake up! And the algorithms of everyday life all but start over, as if from scratch."Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

"Just eat healthy, but do not chastise yourself.""And figure out what works for you," she added. "Find a sports activity that you enjoy because if you do not enjoy it you will not last, and if you are not as disciplined as I am, find a workout partner as it is not that easy to cancel on somebody." Rischko's final advice is to start being active now."I just wish I had started even earlier, before I turned 55," she said.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Travel and vacationing is incredibly amazing for your brain and your emotional and mental well-being. And according to Forbes 63% of Americans say they go six months or longer without a vacation, with more than a quarter (28%) of respondents going a year or more between trips. So, if you’re one of these people who rarely take time off to vacation and can’t see how you could afford one, reframe your life to be one big ass vacation, instead. And maybe plan a real vacation for yourself to look forward to, too. It doesn’t have to be expensive. It can be a staycation, if you want. A 2014 study by Gilovich and colleagues found that people were happier when they were anticipating an experience more than a material purchase. So, save your money on stuff you don’t need but feel you may want, and spend it on experiences instead. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

Learning what I want took a lot of trial and error. Learning how to communicate it properly took even more trial and error. Now I know what I want and I've surely narrowed the playing field but at least now I am only scouting people who could actually make the roster.

I took what scared me and listened to why - I realized it scared me because it was important to me not because the act itself was scary and I followed that fear home. Since then, my relationships with myself, others, and my passions have changed. I want you to take the amazing advice of Jay Sukow and follow your own fear. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

According to science, humans kind of suck at knowing what will genuinely make us happier in the long run. Society tells us what we really want is to find love and money and success, but in reality, we may already have all the things that we could ever want to be happy people, but were too busy trying to meet some arbitrary societal deadline to notice.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Get comfortable being wrong. Get comfortable being criticized and called out. We practice getting comfortable with this by allowing ourselves to get vulnerable. Put yourself out there, open yourself up to feedback, and practice listening without getting defensive. You are a human being living a human experience which means you’re gonna fuck up sometimes. You’re gonna make mistakes. You’re gonna say the wrong thing. You’re gonna embarrass yourself sometimes. All of this is to be expected. Let it hit you, note it for future reference, and let it roll off your back so you can get up and face the next possible malfunction with full attention. Being corrected means you’re learning and growing. Learning and growing means lightyears ahead of those around you. Keep doing what you’re doing and take notes as necessary feedback instead of critique and watch how much the world expands around you.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.
