1232: What could do with a good pruning?
So often we put all the focus on what we’re growing. Today we’re coming at it from a different angle!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, daily peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. If you want something for your diary that is gonna give you a bit of a sparkle and also a confidence boost for December, next week I'm holding my favorite workshop where we say a hearty fuck off to the year. We take the lessons forward and we leave the rest. If you've not been to one of our workshops before, I think you'll be genuinely surprised by how much of a warm hug it feels like. So if you fancy saying fuck off to 2024 together, my fuck off 2024 workshop is happening next Wednesday. You can find out more by going to the rebel rousers.comforward/fuckoff2024. And along with your workshop ticket, you also get an invite to my private community, and you'll be able to join our Christmas wrapping party on Zoom later on in the week. There's more info in the show notes and on to today's show.
So around here, we tend to be pretty into personal development and personal growth. And I think it's fair to say that any one time, there are so many different projects we wanna work on, so many different areas we want to grow in, and there's all the things to do. But I wanna come at it from a slightly different angle today and talk about what we can prune instead. Because when we're always focusing on growth, what we're doing is always focusing on how far we have to come. And for a lot of us, that can feel like a lot of pressure, especially when we have limited time, energy, and capacity, especially if we're saying yes to a whole lot of things. So for this hump day, I simply want you to ask yourself, what could do with a bit of pruning in your life right now? What are some areas that would benefit from a bit of tender loving pruning? Because we don't always have to be watering things. Sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is let something go or really intentionally choosing what we're saying yes to. And that inevitably involves saying no to something else.
I know I used to be a massive, massive overcommitter. And the idea that for everything you say yes to, you're saying no to something else was absolutely revolutionary to me. And I also realized the thing I was saying no to most often was myself. So just popping this in today for some food for thought and in case you need the reminder. I hope something unexpected and fabulously joyful happens to you today. Here's to holding onto the sparkles and the light in what can be a really dark month. And here's to knowing that we are creeping ever closer to the shortest day of the year, which means that light is on its way. Have a good one, and I'll see you tomorrow.
