Day 216 || Dopamine Hunter

The more you consciously DECIDE to feel excited about your healthier choices, the more your brain associates these healthy things with dopamine too. This is how people get addicted to working out and eating right. It starts with small, consistent changes, which we all know and hear about regularly but to me, the most important piece comes from the intentional choice of good feelings surrounding those healthy routines.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 215 || Honing in on a Purpose

Jumping around searching desperately for a purpose is a lot more difficult than honing one based on the shit you’ve already got going for you - but that’s not to say, your next favorite thing isn’t right around the corner. Don’t be afraid to try out the new shit and rehash the old shit.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Day 214 || Big Spender

Be conscious of your purchases because it is too often, too simple for us to go full Ariana grande and “I want it I bought it” ourselves into the cumbersome nightmare of amazon boxes and useless shit that didn’t actually feel good when you got it, had to unload it, or when you finally decided to get rid of it six years later and realized the tags were still on it.

Day 213 || Chaotic Spending

If you’re like me and you struggle to limit your spending in any capacity - next time you want to buy something new, ask yourself this: Can I afford this? And Do I need this?If the answer is yes to both -great. Buy it! No hesitation. If you say nah I don’t need it and it’s worth it to you to buy it anyway - great. Buy the shit. And if you can’t afford it - that’s a case by case basis. But at least you’ve asked yourself the shit you were supposed to ask first so your purchase in itself - became a conscious practice. Which is really the only thing I ever really preach. Conscientiousness.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Day 211 || Versions of Reality

There are so many versions of reality - often with substantiated evidence that coincides with it - that if you don’t perpetually do valuable research on the research you’re using to support your argument - you’re at the mercy of whatever bozo knows how to type.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 210 || Reparenting Struggles

what would the younger version of you think about your life right now? Pretend they came for a visit- what would they want to do with you?

Day 209 || Chasing Childlike Joy

Children don’t like being bored - and neither do adults. It’s our job to make sure we’re having the best possible time, just like it’s a parents job to make sure that their three year old will be entertained for the entirety of the flight. You are your own three year old. Prepare yourself for the best possible outcome by integrating and promising yourself consistent fun.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 208 || Embrace Temporary

Remember that there is not enough time in the day to connect deeply with every person you’ve ever known or loved, commit yourself to every project you’ve ever felt inspired by, or accomplish everything you’ve ever wanted to accomplish. So when the universe moves someone or something out of your life - take it as a reminder that everything changes and sometimes the best is yet to come.
