This is a little wake-up, shake-up podcast about
living the life that makes you feel the most alive.
That means… getting out of auto pilot for some parts
of your life and changing things up. Really looking at what
you’re doing each day and how you’re spending your time. What
makes you feel most alive and what makes you feel most
drained?
We have way more control than we think we do about
how we design our lives. Now, different people in different
circumstances have obstacles to overcome or a path that’s just
harder than other people to get there.
But, you are in control. You can change your
perspective. You can change your situation.
If you’re not waking up most days, really jazzed
about the day and what you’re about to do… it’s time to shake
things up. Because we’re not here to have regrets at age 90.
When you’re out of balance, and you’re going through
the motions and you aren’t really LIVING for the majority of your
days… I have a reset hack for you.
A few things that Lindsay talks about:
-Let’s decide today is going to be a shake up
day.
-If you are in a rut or overwhelmed or
underwhelmed….
We need to interrupt your patterns and automatic
nature of how you go through your day.
-I joke that my least favorite word is “fine” because
it’s so neutral. I’d rather be mad than fine. At least there is
some emotion there.
-In my life, I feel like this when I’m in the car too
much - driving my kids all over. I personally don’t feel
alive on the freeway. When there is too much of it, I know I
need to adjust before I feel like my days are just on repeat and
where do the hours even go.
-I have friends that I know have the same feelings
about their corporate job.
Sometimes it happens in marriage or if you’re at
college and not pursuing what you want.
Or maybe you have decided you didn’t make the choices
you wanted and now you are past the time to make those choices -
I’m just a big believer in - the right time is NOW and it’s never
really actually too late to start the thing. Whatever it
is.
-I’m going to share quotes from some of my favorite
people on this topic at the end.
-But for me, I need a hack. Something that I
can do when I start to feel like this. So here it is for
this!
-Lyrics to one of my favorite songs…
Living by Dierks Bentley
Some days you just breath
in
Just try to break even
Sometimes your heart's
Poundin' out of your chest
Sometimes it's just
beatin'
Some days you just forget
What all you've been given
Some days you just get back
Yeah, some days you're just
alive
Some days you're livin'
Some days you're livin'
Like you never
die
Blue's a little bluer up in the sky
You're high's a little high
You feel that fire you've been
missing
Some days you're living
It'a beautiful world sometimes I
don't see so clear
Some days you start singin'
And you don't need a reason
Sometimes the world's just right
Your clear eyes ain't even
blinkin'
Got a heart full of grateful
For all you've been given
Some days you just get by
Yeah, some days you're just
alive
Some days you're livin' (ooh) mm
hmm
Some days you're livin' (ooh) yeah
Livin' like you'll never die
-Take yourself out of the day to day and look at your
life as if you were a drone.
Get out of your own head and world and look at your
days and life and see what’s working and what’s off.
-We all have small moments like this - and sometimes
bigger life shake up moments when we feel like we’ve taken the
wrong path.
-Make a list - brain dump!
-Episode 210 is about losing numbing habits-
essential listen after this one!
Mel Robbins talks about… every day when you wake up -
you decide who you’re going to be.
-And I think, the lens you are going to see things
through.
-If you don’t decide who you are going to be, your
habits, your old patterns and the stress of the day will decide for
you.
-You take control of the day and of your life when
you set your intention for the day.
-Every day you get to wake up who you’re going to be
and what you’re going to do.
-It’s the first step in taking control and deciding
who you are going to be today.
-We have to believe in a future that we can’t
experience yet
-But you have thought about enough so you can see it
in your mind
-You have to think about it enough to where it starts
to feel real
-It’s easier to stay comfortable than get
uncomfortable
-It’s easier to stay with what you know because you
don’t know what’s around the corner - that’s why some change is so
hard.
Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes:
-"The biggest barrier to change is our
own limiting beliefs.”
-"You have the power to create the
life you want. You just have to believe it's
possible.”
-"Your thoughts and emotions create
your reality. So if you want to create a better reality, you need
to start with your thoughts and emotions.”
-"Your personality creates your
personal reality. Your personality is made up of how you think,
act, and feel. So if you want to change your personal reality, you
need to change your personality."
Mel Robbins quotes:
-"The only thing standing between you
and the life you want is the story you keep telling yourself that
you can't have it.”
-"It's not about being fearless, it's
about acting in spite of fear.”
-"You are not a victim of your
circumstances. You are a product of your
choices.”
-"Your life is happening right now.
Make it amazing!"
