Welcome back for another bite of Simplicity. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project, and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

In this simplicity bite, we will be delving even further into our ‘Distilling Our Thoughts’ discussion over the past few weeks. This bonus episode is in response to the many questions that my team and I have received since we released our first episode three weeks ago. 

Today, we will be discussing the hustle, the ambition that we all have to achieve. This is a good thing, don’t get me wrong. I am a very ambitious woman. However it is equally important to celebrate what it is that we've achieved, and what we’ve accomplished to give our bodies, our nervous system the opportunity to pull back, ask ourselves how am I doing? and create that pause. 

If you haven’t yet listened to Part One or Part Two of this topic, please feel free to pause this episode, go listen to Distilling our Thoughts linked here and then join us back on this episode where I will do my very best to answer your questions.

Links and resources mentioned in this episode will be shared in the Online Work with Jenn section of these show notes.

Here are the main topics of this simplicity bite:

• Your questions on Distilling Our Thoughts
• Creating the environment within ourselves to tune in
• Expectations - our own and others
• Hustle culture 
• Intentional mindset

Hoping this episode supports you on the path of knowing, accepting, and loving who you truly are. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

Quotes: 

• “It's understanding that life is always going to throw us things that we didn't know we're coming at us, that we're going to have to juggle. We're going to drop some of those balls. We're going to break some of them. Some of them need to stay on the ground and not be picked back up. Right. That is a good thing when we do that.” 
• “We have to start gauging - I only have this many hours in a day and this much energy in a day. Then you probably need to schedule 50% of what you normally do so that you have grace, you have the room in order to be able to still show up and to still feel good and not burnt out and polled and resentful and exhausted.”
• “Sometimes the expectations we put on ourselves, when we stand back we actually recognize this isn't even mine. Like I don't even care about this, but we've taken it because that is the impact around us. So you have got to get clear on those boundaries and by getting clear on your boundaries, you have to first get clear on your priorities. That is where you come back to that tune in.”
• “How many of you right now, like raising a hand and I'm raising both have achieved the thing, and yet still not felt fulfilled. Right? This is like that, that culture we're in the hustle culture, which has the only way to achieve, right?”
• “I think so many of us have been taught our worth is attached to productivity and that when we are not being productive, we are lazy… instead of thinking about it being lazy or doing nothing. Think of it as being intentional, right? Intentional about taking care of yourself, attentional or intentional, rather about doing what lights you up.”
• “it's just about making a decision and it doesn't have to be a massive one. It can be the tiniest one. It could even be listening to this again, and actually just soaking up what I was saying when it comes to the seasons and animals in our life, and nothing being in full bloom all the time.”
