In this episode, we're talking about the idea of surrendering to outcomes.

Often in our goal setting, relationships, expectations, or plans of any kind, we have a particular idea of how it "should" go and what we want the outcome to be. And when things don't go the way we hoped or planned, we can experience some really negative emotions that might be unnecessary.

We talked about:

• The ways our experience can change dramatically when we loosen our grip on a certain outcome
• The mental shift between wanting vs. needing something
• Trusting that God always provides in some way
• How to remain lighthearted about results
• How surrendering to outcomes allows for more success goal setting
• The mantra Kristin is using with her goal for the year

We used to think that lasting happiness was always just around the corner. If we could just figure out this problem or get this thing we wanted, then it would be smooth sailing and we'd finally be living the fulfilled life.

Just like we have, you've probably found that you never actually "make it" in life, right?

This idea can be discouraging but we've found that it's actually liberating. If circumstances won't ever make us happy, we must be able to be happy in spite of circumstances. And that's what we're discussing in this episode.

We talked about:

• 3 steps to living a more fulfilled life
• How to stop living just for the future
• How each of us finds satisfaction and joy despite circumstances
• Thinking of fulfillment as a state of being (not just thoughts you think)
• Balancing wanting more and having enough

The episode we're sharing with you today is one of our favorites from this year called The 10-Minute Reset.
