1225: A tweak would do you good!
It's so tempting to buy into this idea that any big change requires major effort. Today I'm sharing a reframe that really helps me and seriously takes the pressure off!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers and a very happy Monday to you. So, to kick off this week, I have a question for you that could be really helpful this week and also help you take the pressure off. And it's this: What are the minor tweaks you can make this week that would make a difference? For so many of us, myself, absolutely a 1000000 percent included, whenever I look at the week ahead, whenever I look at all the projects I've got going on, or whenever I look at my life in general or my to do list, It's really easy to see all the really big things and the things that need overhauling. A very minor example of this is my laptop. My goodness. File management is not my strongest suit, And it is so easy to convince myself not to even bother until I've got some serious time to wade through the shit. But here's the thing. With a couple of minor tweaks, like making shortcuts to folders that I use a lot and renaming a couple of important things with things that I actually find, I'm gonna make my workflow and also my life so much easier, and I didn't have to wait for that massive chunk of time.
It can be so tempting to put these things on this someday pile. But then when someday doesn't happen, we beat ourselves up. Or when we have free time, we convince ourselves we can't do anything for ourselves because we've got this massive fuck off sized backlog. So in case you wanna hear it today, here is my reminder. You don't always have to go big or go home. There are many times when I would much prefer to go small and go nap. And I'm extending this permission slip to you just in case you need it. There are so many areas of our lives that we think we have to do a massive overhaul, and it's gonna take so long.
And some of it will. But for a lot of things, tiny tweaks are gonna help, and not everything needs open heart surgery. So that's my pep talk to kick off this week. If you're part of my digital advent calendar experience, I hope you're having a really fun time with the Rebel holiday planner, which is behind door number 1. I'm really excited for you to open door number 2. And if you'd like to join in the fun, you are definitely not too late, and it would be my pleasure to support you during this season of festive fuckery so you can find time for you, enjoy the things you really like, and navigate the trickier bits. You can find out more by going to the rebel rousers.com/rebelchristmas. And I'd love to see you there. Have a fabulous start to your week and I'll see you tomorrow.
