October 29, 2024Episode 108: What To do When It's Not Your Best Day
In this episode, Amanda talks about the importance of releasing the constant comparison between our regular, everyday moments and our "best days." Inspired by her current read, The Plan by The Lazy Genius, Amanda reflects on how easy it is to feel like a day didn’t measure up just because it wasn’t like the best day. She shares a powerful message about finding success and joy in each day by appreciating the small, beautiful moments that often go unnoticed.
Key Takeaways:
Stop Comparing Every Day to the Best Day: Amanda discusses how The Plan highlighted an eye-opening concept: we often feel like we’re falling short simply because our day didn’t match a high, ideal standard.
Reframe Your Day with Gratitude: One simple habit Amanda uses to stay grounded is asking herself, What is something I love about today? This practice can shift perspective, helping each day feel meaningful and fulfilled.
Freedom in the Everyday: By letting go of the need to recreate a perfect day, we can free ourselves to enjoy the here and now. Every day has its own unique moments to celebrate, even if it doesn’t feel like a standout.
As you go through your day, take a moment to pause and ask, What is something I love about today? This question can help you see each day in a new light and embrace the beauty of the present.
