1594: Defining success on a weekly basis
We’re wrapping up our week on The Daily Pep! with an invitation to reflect on what weekly success looks like for us.
Episode transcript:
Good morning Daily Peppers, and a very happy Friday to you. So as we wrap up the week, I have a question for both of us and it's this. What do we really want to use as the marker for our success for the week? For so many of us, we are brought up and taught that a good week is where we were productive, where we ticked things off the to do list and we got shit done. Now don't get me wrong, I love doing those things and it feels so satisfying to get those fuckers off our plate. But I think if we leaned a bit closer and got really honest, that probably isn't our own personal definition of success.
It's. It feels good. But other things matter more. So this Friday, I simply want to invite both of us to have a think about what does a successful week look like in our own lives, remembering that that also changes depending on the season, depending on our context, and also on our capacities. I know for me right now, in this season of my life weekly, success is much more about feeling fulfilled. It's much more about working on the things that actually matter to me. And and success is also not ending the week feeling completely and utterly depleted and exhausted. I want to get to the point where I can go into the weekend with energy to spare or maybe just more energy than I currently have and feel like I've left a bit of myself for myself. So as you start winding down for the weekend and wrapping up this week, I really invite you to think about what does success on a weekly basis look like for you in this season of your life.
And it is okay if it doesn't look like other people's success and probably it's a lot healthier for us if we're going maybe in the opposite direction then we were taught. So have a think about that. Maybe bring it to your journal. And I can't wait to be back with you on Monday morning right here, bright and early on the Daily Pep. Or if you're part of my email community where I'm sharing my behind the scenes of life in Bulgaria, I can't wait to be in your inbox and you can get in on that fun by going to therebelrousers.com/letters either way, I look forward to seeing you soon. And remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.
