1325: Blooming in unlikely places
Today we’re exploring how to find pockets of joy and opportunities right where you are—even if it’s not where you hoped to be!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers. And a very happy Monday to to you. So, I've recently gotten to putting stickers on my laptop. And today's episode is inspired by the sticker I see all the time by my trackpad. And I figured that it serves as a great reminder and an invitation as we start the week. So today's daily pet directly from the sticker on my laptop is bloom where you are planted. Now I don't take this as a toxic productivity s kind of. No matter what shit you're going through, it can be great.
I definitely don't see it like that. But there is something to be said for looking around you even if you're not in your ideal environment or even if things could be a lot better and seeing what opportunity this season presents you with. I also think it's a great way of taking back control because when everything feels shit on toast, we can imagine that any future happiness, joy, contentment, fulfilment is gonna come from a different place at a different time. Now due to circumstances, you might not be able to access the levels at where you want them to be. And maybe the way you achieve those things is completely different. But maybe they are possible in small, different ways. I think it can also serve as a good reminder to try and stay in the present more. I know that I am great at future tripping and thinking about the next thing and the next thing, and I forget that there actually might be some cool things about where I am right now.
Rather than exclusively time traveling, it serves as a great reminder for me to look around me, not just get stuck stuck and focused on where I want to go, and use where I am to my advantage. We all have fabulous, juicy, creative brains that love solving problems. And I think the question of how can you bloom where you're planted can be a great creative problem for your brain to solve, and you might come up with some unexpected answers. So here's to seeing how you can bloom. And if this doesn't resonate with you, tomorrow's episode is gonna be just for you. I hope you have a fabulous start to the week, and I'll see you tomorrow.
