THREE mindsets to help you reflect, rebel, and reinvent…
1. Not where you’re supposed to be in life?
Listen to today’s podcast where I talk about why direction is more important than speed in life. I talk about how to push back on imposter syndrome or feeling like you’re “behind” in life.
You’re NOT an imposter
One question to ask yourself
Stop fooling yourself
Listen here.
2. The “good” part of life
We spend so much time trying to skip ahead to the good part of life. The part where we’ve finally happy, in shape, married, successful, etc. We say things like “I’ve just gotta get to the good part of life and then I’ll be happy.”
I’ve realized that the good part of your life is the part YOU decide is the good part. And specifically, the good part of your life is found in your in between moments. The majority of our lives days are the in between days - between good and bad. Between entry level and boss level. Between just barely paying rent and finally getting the dream home. Between date one and kid one.
There are definitely amazing days ahead of you. Some of your best days haven’t happened yet, but today is the good part. The good part IS the in between part. If we’re always looking to ahead, we’re throwing away a gift.
The good part in your life comes and goes rather unnoticed. And you only realize it looking back. Think about how you look back fondly on when you were younger or just getting started with your career or just started dating you partner. Those were good days, right? Simpler. THIS is the good part. Tomorrow will be the good part because of your hard work but today is also the good part.
Personally I’ve decided - after a long time of saying it’s in the future - today is the good part. The slowness, the simplicity, the small laughs, the coffee, the to-do list… Amidst everything I want and don’t have, this is the good part and I hope you join me in saying the same.
3. Mixed signals?
The next time someone starts serving up mixed signals, going hot and cold on you… tap into this mantra I heard and it goes like this: “do you want me or not because you're holding up the line?”
That’s it. Literally pretend there’s a line of potential partners waiting to get to you. Approach mixed signals like there's a line for YOU. A line of people waiting for YOU to stop putting up with someone’s mixed signals and start expecting intention and action.
The longer you put up with mixed signals, the longer you put off finding someone else who would jump at the chance to be with you, no excuses, no hot and cold.
Do you want me or not because you're holding up the line?
That’s it for today. Until Monday.
