Be Present and Buy Some New Bedding
Manage episode 376361532 series 3506900
We know, it’s HARD to be present and sit in the moment when you have a million things on your plate. And we all have a million things now. When the world tells us that who we are right now isn't enough, it's tempting to try to live in a fantasy version future when you'll have a better job, more time, more money, a cleaner house, better listening kids- but if we take a moment, we know that there's way more joy in the current moment than we're currently tapping into (and that the future doesn't hold that fantasy either- just even more hoops to jump through and kids that still don't listen. )
Join us for a conversation about why it's so hard to be present, why our brains fight it, and how we can practice sitting with ourselves (even in the Target aisle when we're having a meltdown picking out new bedding).
Topics this week include:
- Cheesecake Factory life goals
- Trashy neighborhood gossip
- Productivity culture
- Why we hate the term "self care"
- Why tf do kids like tape so much?
- Being alone with our your own thoughts (it won't kill you!)
- How we lost our minds during the pandemic
- Who profits off our our dissatisfaction with ourselves?
- Grounding techniques you can use TODAY
- Are little kids actually great at meditating and we lost it somewhere along the way?
- Incorporating the 5 Principles of Reiki into your day
- Clubbing in your 40s (and wearing business casual to the clurb)
- Finding the great genitalia in the sky
This weeks challenge: give yourself ways to find moments of joy in being present. Tell us how you found it!
