333: You can't be on top form all the time
If you need a reminder to be kinder to yourself and be a whole lot less hard on yourself, this is it!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, daily peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. Today, I am popping into your speakers in your earbuds wherever you listen with a dose of compassion and a reminder that I think we all need. Now we talk a lot around here about the expectations we put on ourselves and how likely we would never put those expectations on anybody else. Now one of the biggest expectations I think we all put on ourselves is to be on top form all of the time. We want our best to be magnificent every day, but the reality is, and we know this intellectually, that it's just not going to. So today, I just wanna give you the compassionate reminder that nobody is on top form all of the time. I think we get so used to looking outside of ourselves and seeing what other people are doing, and we forget all the hard work that goes into it or the bits that we don't see. If you think of a TED Talk, you only see the final product.
You don't see the hours and hours and the months months of preparation that go into it and all the practicing. But just because they make it look so natural doesn't mean it comes natural to them. And we can look at athletes in the same way. What we often don't look at is all of the early mornings, the many, many 1000 hours, and often all the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into it along the way. But not only that, we also don't see how rest factors into the equation. Now I can't claim to know much about sport at all, but what I do know is that people rest before they play. And going back to the TED talk example, you would probably try and carve in some time for rest and relaxation beforehand rather than just jumping straight into it after an exhausting couple of weeks. All of this is to say that, a, you can't be on your best form all of the time.
That is not humanly possible. And b, rest is just as important as showing up and and to expect yourself to be on top form all of the time is not only unrealistic, it's a pretty cruel expectation to put on yourself. So here's to treating yourself with more compassion. Here's to knowing that rest is not optional, and here's to showing up for our best days, the not so good days, and everything in between. You are doing so much better than you think, and you are so much further along than you recognize. Take this with you into your day today, and I can't wait to be back with you tomorrow morning as always. See you then.

318: Take life notes
Today we're looking at how we can capture the wisdom we gain from going through hard things for our future selves.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. Today, we're diving into dealing with hard times, I'm dealing with the overwhelm, and what we can take forward from it. So far on the daily pet this week, We've talked about doing things with more ease and how this season new in right now is temporary, and it won't last forever. Today, I wanna offer up something that can be really helpful both when you're going through a hard time and also figuring out the things that you need for you and the things that you can do to help yourself during hard times. So when we're in the middle of going through something, often the last thing we want to do is focus on the thing and dwell on it. And usually when we're through something, We wanna focus on things not being quite so shit, and we are all too happy to see the back of it. But there is so much wisdom that you can gain from keeping notes during hard times. It doesn't have to be super organized in can be as simple as having an ongoing note on your phone where you just jot down things that you notice.
The notes could be things that you did the turned your day around a bit, it could be lessons you're learning in what you're going through and things that you wanna remember for future hard things or things that might be helpful for other people. It can be permission slips, and it can also be reminders to future you that you know you'll forget if you don't write them down right now. It might not feel that important in the moment, but trust me, it will be a gift a future you because you are building up a resilience toolkit of things that you can come back to that you know work for you. When things go hard, when things get chaotic, when things feel overwhelming and chances are when you go back to that thing, you'll be reading it when you most need it, and you will really appreciate the wisdom from past due. We tend to, for obvious reasons, not really like to go back and face shitty things. But sometimes there are true gems in this shit, and sometimes it's worth sifting through a little bit because you're gonna find things that are gonna be so helpful for the future. So reflect on your hard times as well as your good times. Know that you have much more wisdom than you know.
And if things are looking pretty good right now, write a pep talk for future you, because I think she's gonna really appreciate it. I'll see you back here tomorrow, and remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.
