Episode 6-574: Challenge Accepted – Recognizing Needs Vary

Let’s talk about recognizing boundaries vary

About a decade ago my son went weightlifting with some new friends.  The friends were used to lifting a lot of weight but my son was not. 

This situation is an example of needs that varied. My son was not able to withstand the same training as the others who had more experience.  They were at different levels of development and that caused for a variance in boundaries and approach to provide benefit and avoid injury.

Another example is that we would likely not use the same approach or content when teaching a high school student math, as we would with a first grade student.  Their levels of development call for different approaches and information.

Let’s talk about putting FOMO in check – Before Truly Missing Out on Our Lives

Sometimes we can be so busy because of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) that we actually miss out on the very present that we claim to value the most.  Or in our striving for something in the future we may discount the value and benefit in our present.

Let’s put our FOMO in check. Let’s figure out what matters to us and make decisions accordingly. When we take time to figure out what really matters to us, we allow ourselves to be in the best position to make the right choices for ourselves at the time. 

So let’s accept the challenge of Making Time for What matters and keep the indiscriminate choices associated with the FOMO at bay.
