1522: Look for the signs of growth

Today we're looking for signs of spring, both literally and figuratively.

Episode transcript:

Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. Happy Hump Day. And for this hump day, I've got a bit of a challenge and a game for you, and it is to spot the signs of spring.

Now, at the time of recording this, we are near enough halfway through winter, and there are definitely some very early signs of springs happening. But this is also relevant, metaphorically, for whenever you're listening to this, look for the signs of growth, look for the seeds that you've planted that are starting to germinate, and look for those little signs of hope. I know for many of us around here, our brains can get stuck in a bit of an overthinking loop. And sometimes a really good thing to do is to give our brain something to focus on our brains are naturally creative. We are excellent problem solvers. And giving yourself the challenge or the game of looking for the early signs of spring and looking for pieces of hope can sometimes help push the bullshit out and also just be a really nice thing to do for yourself.

So today, start noticing a little bit more and also let yourself have a bit of fun with it. I guarantee that you are growing so much more than you think you are, and also remember that so much growth happens under the surface that we can't see, but it absolutely doesn't mean it's not happening. Think of all the bulbs that are waiting to sprout. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist.

So here's to finding the seedlings here's to finding the hope here's to spotting growth, both in yourself and in nature and here's to being 20% kinder to yourself today. Have a good one, and I can't wait, as always, to be back with you tomorrow.
