1603: Get it in the diary
This Thursday I have a piece of homework for you all around adding some joy back into our lives!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. Sometimes it is so easy to get lost in the minutiae of daily life, feel completely swamped by life admin and tiny fuckers and big fuckers and we just need to come up for air. So for today's Daily Pep, I have a piece of homework for you and it is to put something in your calendar to look forward to if you can make it within the next month. Make it something that you actually get joy out of and that you get a bit excited about. When you think about it, it does not have to cost money. It does not have to be some huge event. It may be just as simple as actually putting that thing you've wanted to do for a while in your calendar. Maybe that is taking your book to a coffee shop.
Maybe it's actually getting your art supplies out and playing with them. Or maybe it's scheduling a time with that friend who really makes you laugh, who you haven't seen in a while. There's that saying that time flies when you're having fun, and time also flies when you're busy as fuck and you look up and you wonder how the hell it's the end of May already. So. So take a minute. Plan something. Don't get all perfectionist about it. It can be simply something that brings you a little bit of joy or something to look forward to and get it in the diary or start making the arrangements for it to happen.
If time is going to fly anyway, we might as well have a bit of fucking fun. And a quick reminder in case you need to hear it, this might be a good place where we can really implement the yes and improv thing. What I mean by that is acknowledging that things can be shitty and also doing something nice. So, for example, your closest friend might be going through a really difficult time and you can also go for a walk and acknowledge how stunning the flowers look. So plan something for future you remember. Yes. And. And I hope you find some unexpected joy today. I'll see you tomorrow.
