What’s making your heart sing today?
If something makes your heart sing, don’t dismiss it as random. What energizes you may be pointing toward work, service, or a contribution that is uniquely yours to make.

I try to look at the flowers or my children dancing. Little glimmers of beauty and joy.

My feelings of worthiness are so tied into achievement that listening to this makes me sad. I will work on this!

Time Investment
Hey all! I'm in the midst of a Time Coaching certification and one of the things that I'm learning about is looking at Time as an asset that you invest. One of the super interesting concepts is to slow down and look at the Cost Benefit Analysis from a longer timeframe. You basically look at it from your future self. So for example, if you are procrastinating something over and over again because you don't feel like it, what effect are you having on your future self? I do this a lot and for me it's time debt which then causes me overwhelm. I'm making a focused effort to catch myself kicking things down the road and just knocking them out. I'm feeling much more freedom in my schedule! What do you think about this? Have you ever put things in the context of your future self?

I find it interesting. I have never thought about my future self. I always feel like I am trying to catch up- so it’s just mostly fear driven.

Correlation of performing with burnout
Here’s a really interesting article on the correlation between “performing” and burnout. What strikes you? https://www.leravi.org/perfectionist-burnout-silent-audition-psychology-18279/

A lot of things hit me here. Reading this article I find my self anxious and overwhelmed. I identify with doing this but the idea of shifting it seems impossible. I will need to revisit it a second time.

Book Review - The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
Hey all! Jorie and I have been doing book reviews with each other every week for quite a while and we wanted to let you in on the party. We are starting The Let Them Theory this week. Here’s how this works. We read a chapter a week and post what we learned or found interesting and if there’s anything we are going to try and incorporate. It doesn’t matter when you post. Just use this thread and put the chapter number first and then your thoughts. I love this format. Not only do you learn from the book, but you also get to see everyone else’s thoughts and ideas. It’s a win win! When we get close to the end, I will post a poll for the next book!

Chapt 9) I was struck by the reminder that you can choose to see other people as teachers rather than “torturers” I think I mostly see others that have what I want as teachers but I also can be judgmental of people who I don’t view as worthy of my time or attention which is certainly not kind and loving. 2) the idea of learning to play with others rather than against them is interesting but I often assume people are out to get me, particularly at work. 3) a great reminder that I need to give up the need to control, “it just makes you feel more out of control and powerless.”

Chapt 10- 1) I had a hard time identifying with this chapter until the end. I do like the idea that “ very little about your life is fixed in stone” which speaks to the openness of possibility. I also very much agree with the idea that the only way to get you want is to the do the work, but I am not looking to others for negative inspiration 2) I guess I am not really jealous and she spends a lot of time in this chapter talking about jealousy. She talks about comparing people as mirrors which I find interesting but I am not sure who I am comparing myself too. Maybe that’s the problem? 3) the idea that you have been playing so small you can’t see the bigness of life resonates with some parts of me, and some parts of my life. 4) I also resonated with the idea that my life is my responsibility. 5) the promise of if “ you learn to accept people for who they are and stop trying to force a relationship to be something it’s not. The more you release your expectations, control, and the need to fix others, the more your relationships will flourish” is something I am really working on.
