Enjoy Life Podcast w/ Nick Maizy: Live Your Best Life

There will be rough days. You probably already knew that. You may be in some of those rough days right now. This spreading COVID-19 virus situation has drastically impacted virtually everyone. It’s impacting my life, and frankly, I don’t like it.

These days are tough for many of us. People are being asked to stay home, many can’t work, scientists are striving to find a treatment or cure, and none of us know how long it will last. These qualify as some rough days.

Does that mean just give up, fall into the panic, and lose all hope?

NO! Rough Days Don’t Define You.

You can make it through. Listen to a full episode for more.

Forgetting how important the simple things can make tough times even worse. This is especially true when we're in a time that we've never been in before. None of us have even seen such widespread panic over a spreading virus. Or, the nationwide scramble for basic essentials, food, and toilet paper. Now, it is more important than even to remind ourselves that the simple things are important.

I always try to share a positive message of what you can do to make the most of where you’re at, pursue what you want, and enjoy life. How does that work during these crazy times? How does that work when there are so many things we can’t control?

Remember, there are things you can control. You can make a positive difference by doing what you can.

Focusing on the new media will absolutely help you feel more out of control. I’m as guilty as the next person with reading the news headlines too much. I’m not innocent. I stop once I catch myself because I realize that I’m not getting any new information and I’m just feeling worse. I’m not saying never check the news. I am saying focusing on reading the same stories will only magnify the negative feelings.

Also, don’t give up on the good things when times are crazy. The simple pleasure and enjoyments are still there. They make life wonderful and worth living. I had fun in the yard with my family yesterday. I was simple, nice, enjoyable, and fun. And I want nothing to take that away from me. We didn’t go to the park or even the grocery store as a family. That’s just a little of the reality of right now. That doesn’t mean that life is terrible. It just means that we need to focus on what we can control, make the best of where we’re at, and enjoy the simple things. And the simple things can still be great.

There once was a guy living on a remote island. He had a little freshwater stream nearby, was able to catch an assortment of fresh fish, and even easily grew some tasty vegetables. Life was great. He was happy and enjoyed life very much. That was until one day this boat came to his little island. All the people on the boat had fancy clothes, watches, techno-gizmos, and all kinds of luxury stuff. What do you think happened to our happy guy living a good life?

Have you ever felt like you’re missing out? Unhappy with where you’re at?
If so, then change where you look.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. - Jim Rohn

Not about just putting your head in the sand and ignoring reality. Not at all. I'm talking about being intentional about where you look and how you see things. Choose where you focus so that you can make the most of where you're at, get what you want, and enjoy life.

Changing where you put your attention and focus can help you change what you get. A simple shift can make a big difference.

You are capable of great things. Try letting your imagination run to explore the possibilities for your life.

When you're ready to create targets, choose to look at the specific outcomes you will pursue. The specific outcome you want will help guide your actions and keep you on track moving toward it.

After you determine what you want to achieve, it's time to start making progress. But, if you keep only looking at the outcome you want, progress will be very difficult. Shifting your focus to the specific actions that will get you the result you want will help you make progress. Focus on the behavior because it is what will move you forward.

When you want to make a change in your life, you can think about becoming the person you want to be. Each one of us is build of habits. Your habits become who you are. If you want to make a change, then a good place to start is with your habits. These are often the small actions that we repeat frequently. Changing a little habit can have a profound impact on your life. Small positive changes add up to a big difference.

If you want to enjoy life more, then choose where you put your attention. It is your choice. You can choose to focus on all the things you don't have. Or, you can enjoy life. Here are a few suggestions on where to put your attention to enjoy life more. Focus on the simple pleasures you get to enjoy. The small nice things in life can be great. Being present in the moment will help you to enjoy it more. You can enjoy the pleasant moments even if they are not perfect. And remember life isn't made up of only the huge, momentous things. Life is in the small moments. Try to enjoy the small moments by bringing your attention to them.

Today I’m sharing a little different and maybe not so popular suggestion for you to do when your drive fades. This is probably the simplest solution out there. And it’s probably the least fun one too. And it can be the most effective if you do it. What is it? Simple, take the next small step
