RESET: Focus on What Works
In a world filled with distractions, it can be difficult to focus on what works. We often get caught up in the minutiae of everyday life, and it can be hard to remember what our goals are and how to reach them. This is why it is so important to take the time to reset and focus on what works.
The SOS podcast, featuring Megan Bartley and Rob Giltner, recently discussed the importance of resetting and focusing on what works. Megan shared that she has recently released her second book, Reset, which is the curriculum she uses for her retreats in Napa Valley. She explained that the book is designed to set people up for success, no matter how they use it. It contains six powerful exercises to help people refocus their attention on what works and release what doesn’t.
The book encourages readers to look at the past year and what they did or didn’t do. It also helps them to think about where they want to be a year from now, so they can have a clear focus or path. Additionally, it helps them to understand where they are right now and what they need to let go of or what they might need more of. There is a gratitude exercise as well as affirmations, and it also includes a 12-week guided journey with daily and weekly journaling. This helps readers to develop a theme for the year and to be reminded of it every day.
Rob shared that he found the book to be helpful and that he has written in it and sometimes journals with it. He mentioned that his theme for the year was about creation, and it was interesting to look back and see how a lot of it had happened.
It is clear that focusing on what works is important for reaching our goals. Taking the time to reset and focus on what works can help us to stay on track and to make sure that we are putting our energy into the things that matter most. Megan’s book is a great resource for anyone looking to refocus their attention and reset their goals.
We want work to be fun and easy.
This is something that I have been striving for since I moved back to Louisville eight and a half years ago. I have been working hard to build my business in the Mindfulness Center, write books, create online classes, and host retreats. I love what I am doing, but it can become overwhelming and exhausting. It is important to take breaks and to turn off work by a certain time each day. This will allow us to rest and reset so that we can be more productive and creative.
It is also important to remember that hustle culture can be damaging. We need to move away from comparing ourselves to others or feeling guilty or ashamed if we are not able to keep up with the hustle. It is important to focus on the quality of our work, not the quantity. We can strive for balance and sustainability, not just hustling as hard as we can.
In order to achieve a sense of work-life balance, it is important to set goals and intentions. Taking the time to write out how we imagine the year will go and what we want to achieve can help us stay on track and be more productive. It is also important to remember to celebrate our successes and to be kind to ourselves.
In conclusion, it is important to remember that work can be fun and easy. We need to strive for balance and sustainability and take the time to celebrate our successes. Taking the time to reset and to focus on what works can help us to stay on track and to make sure that we are putting our energy into the things that matter most.
Value family time.
Family time is an important part of this, and it needs to be valued. Taking the time to be with our family and to enjoy each other’s company can help us to reset and to focus on the things that matter most in our lives. It can also help us to stay connected and to build strong relationships with the people we care about. Taking the time to be with our family can help us to remember what is important, and to stay grounded and focused on our goals.
In Louisville, Kentucky, there is a culture of valuing family time. Taking the time to be with our family and to enjoy each other’s company can help us to reset and to focus on the things that matter most in our lives. It can also help us to stay connected and to build strong relationships with the people we care about. Setting boundaries around work and making sure to take the time to be with our family can help us to stay balanced and to keep our focus on the things that matter most.
We can strive to make sure that we are taking the time to be with our family, to enjoy each other’s company, and to build strong relationships. Taking the time to reset and to focus on what works can help us to stay on track and to make sure that we are putting our energy into the things that matter most. Valuing family time is an important part of this, and it can help us to stay grounded and focused on our goals.
Rest is resistance.
The idea of rest is resistance is something that is gaining traction in recent years. Tricia Hersey, author of the book “Rest is Resistance”, has been a guest on Glennon Doyle’s podcast and has talked about the importance of resting and the need for balance. She believes that we need to take the time to rest in order to be productive and to reach a state of flow. Hersey also believes that rest is a form of resistance to the “grind culture” that has become so popular in recent years.
The idea of rest is resistance is an important one, and it is something that many of us need to take to heart. We need to take the time to rest and to take care of ourselves, and to enjoy the moments we have with our family and friends. Taking the time to rest can help us to be more productive and to stay focused on our goals. It can also help us to stay grounded and to remember what matters most.
We all have different demands on our time, and it can be hard to find the time to rest. But it is important to remember that taking the time to rest and to recharge is essential for our physical and mental health. We need to make sure that we are taking the time to rest, and to enjoy the moments we have with our family and friends. Taking the time to reset and to focus on what works can help us to stay on track and to make sure that we are putting our energy into the things that matter most.
Rest is resistance, and it is an important concept that we all need to remember. Taking the time to rest and to recharge is essential for our physical and mental health, and it can help us to stay focused on our goals and to make sure that we are putting our energy into the things that matter most. We could strive to make sure that we are taking the time to be with our family, to enjoy each other’s company, and to build strong relationships. Taking the time to reset and to focus on what works can help us to stay on track and to make sure that we are putting our energy into the things that matter most.
Learn from mistakes and move on.
Another important concept is to learn from mistakes and move on. We all make mistakes, but it is important to recognize that mistakes are part of the learning process. We could strive to learn from our mistakes and to move on. We don’t need to dwell on our mistakes, but instead, take the time to reflect on what we could have done differently and to use that knowledge to inform our future decisions. It is important to recognize that mistakes are a part of life and that we can learn from them and move on.
This is something that I heard recently in a podcast, and it really resonated with me. The speaker was talking about how, when we reach our 40s and 50s, we often hit a wall of exhaustion. We have been in the grind for so long, and we have accomplished so much, that we may start to feel as though we have done everything we set out to do. This can lead to a feeling of exhaustion and a need to reevaluate our lives and our goals. We may be wondering if we want to keep doing the same things for the next 40 or 50 years, or if we want to make changes. This is a great time to take a step back and to reflect on our lives and our goals, and to make sure that we are still on track.
We could also strive to be perfectly imperfect. We can often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be perfect, and this can lead to a lot of stress and anxiety. We could strive to be okay with being perfectly imperfect. We could recognize that we are all making things up as we go, and that we learn from our mistakes and move on. We don’t have to let our mistakes hold us back, but instead, take the time to reflect on them and use them to inform our future decisions.
In conclusion, rest is resistance and learning from mistakes and moving on is an important concept that we could all strive to remember. Taking the time to rest and recharge is essential for our physical and mental health, and it can help us to stay focused on our goals and to make sure that we are putting our energy into the things that matter most. We chould also strive to be perfectly imperfect and to recognize that mistakes are a part of life and that we can learn from them and move on.
Be kind to yourself.
Being kind to yourself is an essential part of living a healthy and happy life. It means being gentle with yourself and forgiving of your mistakes, and it means recognizing that you are human and that you will make mistakes. It also means taking the time to rest and recharge, and to be mindful of your intentions and your actions. It means recognizing that you are not perfect and that you will make mistakes, and that it is okay to make mistakes. Lastly, it means being kind to yourself and recognizing that your mistakes do not define you. By taking the time to be kind to yourself, you can create a more peaceful, balanced, and meaningful life.
Be authentically vulnerable.
One of the best ways to be kind to yourself is to be authentically vulnerable. Vulnerability is the ability to show up as your true self, to be honest about your feelings and your mistakes. It is about being open and honest about your struggles and your successes, and about being willing to accept help and support from others. It is about being able to take risks and to make mistakes without worrying about the consequences. It is about being able to recognize that you are not perfect and that you will make mistakes, and that it is okay to make mistakes.
Vulnerability can be difficult to practice, especially in a world where hustle culture is so prevalent. We are constantly told to be perfect, to strive for perfection, and to never make mistakes. This can lead us to become rigid in our thinking and to be overly critical of ourselves and others. It can also lead us to become overly judgmental and to forget that mistakes are a part of life.
By practicing vulnerability, we can model for others how to be kind and forgiving of mistakes. We can show up in a way that is authentic and true to ourselves and that is open to the possibility of making mistakes. We can also show up in a way that is understanding and compassionate towards ourselves and others. We can trust that if we make a mistake, people will be forgiving and understanding. We can also trust that if we show up authentically, others will show up authentically in return.
Being authentically vulnerable is an important part of being kind to yourself and to others. It is about being open and honest about your feelings and your mistakes, and about being willing to accept help and support from others. It is about being able to take risks and to make mistakes without worrying about the consequences. It is about being able to recognize that you are not perfect and that you will make mistakes, and that it is okay to make mistakes. By practicing vulnerability, we can model for others how to be kind and forgiving of mistakes, and how to show up authentically.
Support small businesses and creators.
When it comes to supporting small businesses and creators, vulnerability is key. We all have a responsibility to each other to show up and support one another, and that starts with being vulnerable and open to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences. In today’s world, small businesses and creators are often overlooked and undervalued. They often don’t have the same resources and access to capital as larger companies and are often overlooked by potential customers and investors.
One of the best ways to support small businesses and creators is to buy their products and services. By doing this, you are directly contributing to their success and helping to sustain their business. Additionally, if you know someone who has written a book, buy their book and leave a positive review. This is an easy way to show your support and appreciation for their hard work and dedication.
Another way to support small businesses and creators is to share their work with your network. Social media is an invaluable tool for creators to reach new audiences and to build relationships with potential customers. By sharing their work, you are helping to spread their message and to create more visibility for their business.
Finally, be mindful of how you talk about small businesses and creators. Be mindful of your language and be sure to recognize the hard work and dedication that goes into creating a business and a product. Speak positively about them and be sure to recognize the value that they bring to the table.
Supporting small businesses and creators is an important part of being kind and compassionate. It is about being open and vulnerable to new ideas and perspectives, and about being willing to invest in the success of others. By buying their products and services, sharing their work, and speaking positively about them, we can show our support and appreciation for the hard work and dedication that goes into creating a business and a product.
Be flexible and open.
At the same time, it is important to remember that we could also be flexible and open. We don’t have to feel pressured to start a new project or make a big change in January, just because it is the start of a new year. We can take our time to explore different avenues and make sure that our decisions are right for us. We could be open to trying new things, and we could be flexible when it comes to our schedules and our plans. We could also be open to the idea that things may not always go according to plan, and that is okay.
We could remember that the most important thing is to be kind to ourselves and to those around us. We could take the time to listen to our own needs and to the needs of others. We could be open to new ideas and perspectives, and we could be flexible when it comes to our plans and our schedules. By taking these steps, we can show our support for small businesses and creators, and we can also ensure that we are living our best lives.
