You know what happens when your body and mind signal that they need rest.  The way that yours will signal is different than the way that mine will. But I am willing to be that you know your own cues. 

How often do you ignore them?  

How often do you ignore the messages that your body is sending you?

How often do you just push them to the side and say, “I just have to get through” this date, or this project, or these thing?

What I want to tell you today is that pushing just that little bit more, ignoring your body’s cues that it is tired or depleted, this is not how you set yourself up for the second half of your life.  This actually flies in the face of what we’ve been socialized to believe.  Work hard and then you can rest in retirement.  But we know that “retirement,” whatever that may mean, is by no means guaranteed.  And that “retirement” that you are saving all of your pennies for and working so hard for now, its quality will be greatly diminished if your physical and cognitive health have declined due to lack of paying attention to your body’s cues.

So today we are going back to basics and I’m providing you with a strategy for what to do when your body is tired.  And it’s easy - get some sleep and get moving.

We’ve been building up to this the last couple of weeks and I am excited to share this week’s topic with you.  This week I am introducing you to the Self-Coaching Model.  It’s a cognitive tool for you to use to create awareness and it’s so incredibly powerful.  We’ve talked about facts, things that occur, things that are, and we’ve talked about how our stories, our thoughts about them are what create our feelings.  And that it’s actually those stories and feelings that make up the experience we have of our life.  This week, we’re going to see how it all fits together and how your feelings fuel how you show up and ultimately what you create in your life.  This is going to be fun - I hope that you’re ready.

This week we’re building on what we talked about last week about stories and the “bare facts” of our lives and looking at how our stories create our feelings and emotions.  Together, how we think about our lives and the various aspects of them and how we feel about them creates the experience of our lives.  And next week, I’m going to take what we’ve learned so far about facts, thoughts or stories, and what we’ll learn today about feelings and I will introduce you to a tool that you can use to create awareness of how you are creating your life. You don’t want to miss this!

On this episode I’m going to tell you why I think that the kind of #quietquitting that has you phoning-it-in is bad for you, why the #quietquitting that appears to be deciding to have a full life should not be considered quitting at all, and suggest some things that you might quit doing instead.

Today, I’m going to teach you a framework for soaking up positive experiences that you can use to get the most out of periods of focused work and purposeful rest. Positive experiences don’t tend to stick with us - but we have highly malleable brains and we can purposefully engage in exercises to create a bigger footprint in our brains for good experiences.   It’s easy, it’s actionable, and it’s brief.  This is a skill that you can use to intensify the impact of any beneficial experience that you have.  

We are going to learn how to purposefully soak in positive experiences - particularly of focused work and purposeful rest - as the concluding step in our three step process to turn burnout into resilience.
