Episode transcript:
Good morning Daily peppers and a very happy Tuesday. Now, I don't know about you but I am so good at overcomplicated things. I know we've talked a bit before about my love of plans and station Henry and also just how I am quite a messy person. And as we dived into yesterday, that is actually okay. So today, for all of my fellow overcomplicators out there, I want to ask you one question. What could you do to make things easier for yourself? Now the way I see it, easy has got a bad rap. This idea of doing things the easy way can feel like a bit of a cop out.
It has connotations for being lazy and since the whole idea of being lazy is one of our inner dreamshitters loudest Rallying Cries we tend to avoid the word easy. But I want to put a bit of a spin on it because I think we can use the word easy and we can use it to simplify our lives. We can use it to be more strategic and more efficient. And isn't making things easier for ourselves something that we aim to be all about? When we choose the easier way of doing things and importantly, we combine that with our values, we can actually have a greater impact and make a bigger difference and save some of ourselves for ourselves too. So I just want to put that question out there for you today. What can you do to make life easier for yourself? What is one simple change that you could do maybe to do with a daily routine life admin shit or a habit that could just take the pressure off a little bit and give you some breathing space. And just to clarify, we are not making things easier so we can fill that time with other shit. We are making things easier because things don't always have to be so complicated.
We all have the right to have time to ourselves and like so many people say, be a human being, not a human doing. And I think we need to take complicated off the pedestal that it's been put upon. So here's to leaning into ease. Here's to simplifying things. Here's to being more strategic and here's to being a bit less hard on yourself. See you tomorrow.
