Make Your Damn Bed

It’s not easy to admit you have these problematic beliefs lying dormant inside of you - but the sooner you address them - the sooner you can free yourself of them. It’s not your fault for having toxic beliefs, or even making mistakes under their hold, but it is your responsibility to fix them before anyone gets hurt by the after math of said toxic beliefs.  Learn more about your ad choices.

You should never go after something simply because you want to be the best you should go after things because you want to feel your best. Doing your best and being your best are all fine and dandy goals, but if you’re not enjoying the journey, you’ve wasted a very valuable ride.   Learn more about your ad choices.

When people criticize us or call us out on our bullshit - it’s because they believe in us. They know we can do better and expect better and trusted us enough to tell us we slipped up. Be gracious. Be kind. Be patient. And understand it’s not a personal attack on your character. It’s a comment on your behavior which can be changed for the better. Focus on growth and developing so you don’t have to feel these same feelings of defensiveness in the future.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If you’re worried they may spread rumors that hurt your reputation in the long run. Don’t. Your real life actions and character choices are far more valuable than the made up attributes a person claims to believe about you. People who believe unsubstantiated rumors and gossip aren’t people you should want to surround yourself with anyway. Let the trash take itself out and move on to the people who use discretion, empathy, and understand that everyone in this world is nuanced and worth getting to know before making snap judgements. If people are committed to misunderstanding you - let them commit. You know who you the fuck you are and that is more than enough.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

The better you get at communicating openly and vulnerably and clearly, the better everyone around you can get with understanding you where you are now - and the less confrontations you’ll be stuck with. You simply add more stress, more chance for confusion, and a higher potential for confrontation when you avoid discussing things openly and honestly. Instead of using coded language to communicate - say it once and say it right. Never shrink yourself to make others comfortable if it’s safe enough to speak up. And notice how you feel when you do stand up for yourself. Even before you receive a response - you’ll feel powerful. Channel that power in everything you do.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

If you believe it’s all hopeless, you are correct. It is hopeless. If you believe there is hope for a better tomorrow - you are correct, there is hope for a better tomorrow. You can’t see what you’re not looking for and if you’re not looking for the best possible outcome, you’ll never receive it.This is why I find it so incredibly deep and powerful to be able to address the most optimistic aspects of any given situation, regardless of how ridiculous that optimism may seem in the moment.  Learn more about your ad choices.
