“Cozy up to these nap benefits.”  As summer begins I use this episode to talk a little about rest and napping.  I have enjoyed this extra time to rest after surgery and am a little reluctant to get super busy again.  I think resting has been good for me.  I share some great benefits of a short nap in the afternoon.  I also mention information from a few articles that describe just the right way to nap to get the most benefits.  I invite you to try out resting a little more during the summer.

  “Expectation Hanovers is not about changing your reality, but about changing your reaction and responses to it so that true transformation occurs.”  In this episode I explain why I didn’t get out an episode last week due to the unexpected and happy early return of my son from his mission.  I share what happened and how we had barely over a day's notice.  I then also realize I am in a bit of an expectation hangover.  All my plans that I had put in place for his original release date (just only 10 days later) ruined  and  then doing our best to make the most of his homecoming.  I share thoughts about the book The Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler which I talked about in episode 27 way back in October of 2020.  I share some tips I am trying to use to cope with this good yet very unexpected change.

In this episode I look back at the last 6 months and see how I have started becoming a little bit better with cleaning and decluttering goals of becoming.  I share a few things that I noticed that used to be harder for me.  One example is that I like to clean up at the end of the day - which was usually something I was just so tired of doing before.  Then I also share how cleaning in the temple has helped me with my cleaning schedule - cleaning clean.  It has been fun noticing the change.  I hope this also shows how you can work on your goals and directions too.  It does take some patience to keep going and it is rewarding to see the slow change.   (This episode was recorded last week.  I will share more as to why it came out a week late in my next episode which will come out later today or tomorrow.)

Happy Mother’s Day!  In this episode I want to share a few things to think about to be able to appreciate the day.  I share my plan to write my children notes of appreciation.  Additionally I talk about the things I appreciate learning or gleaning from my own mother.  Hopefully thinking in this way - with gratitude toward your kids and your own mother can help you have a good Mother’s Day.  (and maybe even get nap:))

 “... Be not afraid. Only Believe.”  In this episode I am talking about fear and the counsel we get from Jesus Christ to not be afraid.  I share a story of when I learned a new dive and how that experience is related to fear.  I share lots of scriptures from the old and new testament of times when we are asked to not be afraid.  I also explain how time is the fuel of fear and how through ordinances we can reorder our experience of time, as we focus on Jesus Christ. I also mention some ways to help us overcome fear from Elder Ronald A Rasband.  I then tell a story shared by Sister Jean Stevens of her helping a boy walking home late at night.  Fear is very real and as we learn to rely more on Christ we can not be troubled by it.

 “Once the football team learned to ignore the many distractions facing them and focused on their goal, they succeeded beyond what they thought possible and experienced great joy.”  In this week’s episode I am talking about having joy as we focus on Jesus Christ.  I share the story of the 1996 Nigerian Football (american soccer) team who won the gold medal.   This win created infectious joy for all of Nigeria.  This story was used as an example that Elder I. Raymond Egbo uses in his talk titled  Focus on Jesus Christ and his Gospel from October 2024 General Conference.  I also loop back to the idea of our natural state being of joy, peace and contentment.  Then bring in some scriptures from the Book of Mormon about people feeling so much joy because of Jesus Christ.  As we are preparing for Easter in a month this is a good time to reflect on the great goodness of God that can help us experience such great joy that we can’t even imagine.

How are your goals going so far this year? (Pardon my congested voice getting over a cold)

 “…our natural state of being is joy, love and peace.”  Ever been unable to sleep because you mind can’t shut down.  Today I am sharing insights from the book, Don’t believe everything you think - Why your thinking is the beginning and end of suffering by Joseph Nguyen.  This book is a great help to explain how thinking about our thoughts is the problem to our suffering.  And when we try to stop thinking then we can find love, joy and peace.  I share insights from the first half of his book. I mention my aha moment and his simple solution to help get us back to peace. Pause and eventually we can calm our minds so that we can sleep. Simple ideas with great impact.

 We are at the end of February and this episode finished up the 4 weeks of things that I love.  This episode I share a bunch of little things, instead of just one.  I share things like the sun and sunset.  Experiences with family like playing games and being at the beach.  I also mention foods that I love, caramel, as one example.  Then at the end I invite all of you to make your own list of things that you love.  Take the time to reflect on all of the things you love and make life so much richer for you.
