1235: What do you want less of?
As things are rounding down at this point of the year, we start to look ahead to next year, and that brings with it a lot of pressure. So for today’s episode, we’re taking an alternative look at the year ahead.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers. And a very happy Monday to you. A quick heads up that our fuck off 2024 workshop is happening this Wednesday. So if you wanna round off this year with a compassionate bang, get a lot of a confidence boost, and go to something that feels like a serious hug in a mug. You are very, very warmly invited. You can book your ticket by going to the rebelrousers.com/fuckoff2024, all one word, or just get the handy link in the show notes. Now on to today's show. So naturally, for a lot of us, as this year closes, we start to think about next year and all the things we wanna do.
And that can be quite a complicated place to go because around here, we have very loud dreamshitters who really make themselves heard and known. And it can be hard to dream and scheme without just thinking of all the things that you said you were gonna do and reflecting on why you didn't do them. But today, I wanna flip it on its head a bit because thinking about all the things you want to do and are yet to do can feel like a shit ton of pressure. And a really helpful question I don't think any of us ask ourselves enough is, what do you not want to do? What would you like to do less of next year? We are so good at piling all the things on all the many, many plates we spin and then really beating ourselves up when we drop 1. That we forget that actually maybe it is about taking things off our plates or putting some of them down or replacing them with a slightly lighter load. So as we wrap up this year, as we look forward to next year, I simply invite you to think about it from a different perspective. What do you want less of? What do you want to do less of? And how can you make this happen? And just in case you need it, this is your permission slip to put your own needs on the table, to listen to what you want even if it feels slightly selfish, which it isn't, and to make your life easier. So happy thinking on that.
And I can't wait to be back with you in your ears tomorrow morning as always, or in person ish on Zoom on Wednesday for our fuck off 2024 workshop. Have a good one.
