746: Listen up if you're too dang hard on yourself
We tend to be an unreliable narrator for ourselves. Today I'm offering up some helpful questions to get you curious about whether what you tell yourself is actually true.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, daily peppers, and a very happy Tuesday to you. Now one of the things we tend to be very good at around here is being really hard on ourselves. I know I've shared this before on the daily pep, but it's of my belief that we're not our own most reliable narrators. Because if we were to describe ourselves to other people in terms of our wins, the effort we put in, and how we show up, It would be wildly different to the reality. So today, I just wanna offer up some perspective shifts and just get you to look at things from a different, more compassionate angle. So here we go. Maybe you are doomscrolling, not because you are some awful person that lacks any sense of discipline, But because you're really fucking tired and your brain needs a break, and the companies behind a lot of the apps put in a lot of work to make it as appealing and also as addictive as possible. Maybe you're not as productive this week because you worked really fucking hard last week.
You were in proper beast mode and you can't sustain that, and that's okay. Maybe you're not feeling that motivated because you just received some really bad or really sad news. And you're trying to process stuff. So it makes a lot of sense that you're not feeling your normal self and things feel really hard. Or maybe you're not seeing your wins because you have piled so much on your plate that is completely unrealistic to demand of yourself, and it is nigh on impossible to see what you have done. Now I want to be really clear here. The purpose of sharing this is not to give you more reasons beat yourself up. We all know that beating ourselves up about beating ourselves up is a vicious cycle, and we're just not going there.
Instead, all I wanna do is pique your curiosity a bit and get you thinking, maybe I'm doing better than I think I am. Maybe it's okay I'm feeling how I'm feeling. And maybe it's time for more compassion and not for pushing yourself harder. So that's something that I want you to think about during the day today. As you naturally find yourself beating yourself up about things, just stop and see if you can question whether it's actually true and know that you are not alone in this. This is our brains trying to keep us safe, but you are way more competent. And you have way more to celebrate than your inner dream chitter would have you believe. You're doing alright.
Your best is gonna look different every day, and your best is good enough. I'll see you tomorrow.

742: What if you're not lazy but strategic?
Around here, we tend to give ourselves a hard time about how much we do do and how much we don't do. Today we're shaking it up!
Episode transcript:
Good morning Daily Peppers and a very happy Wednesday to you. It is hump day, it is middle of the week and whether you're feeling it or you're feeling shit today I have a reminder that I think we all really need to hear. So we left off yesterday's episode talking about this idea of how can you make it easier for yourself and it is one of my favorite questions to ask. But I think so much resistance comes up from that because we are fed so much bollocks about what it means for something to be easy.
We've all grown up with different variations of if it's not hard, it doesn't count as work. You've got to see the blood, sweat and tears and things that are worth doing are an uphill battle. Now, I am not for 1 minute suggesting that life is easy, nor am I ever going to suggest that. But I think one thing that could make our lives easier is if we could reframe this idea of what hard work looks like. I think around here one of our biggest fears and one of the biggest things that our dream sure to feed us is this idea that we're lazy. And through the fact that you are listening to this podcast which is all about personal development, building a life you love and we are not shy here around the fact that it is not just all rainbow dust, we can deduce from that that you are not lazy. You work hard, you are conscientious and you put your heart and soul into an awful lot of things that you do.
And sometimes this idea of taking a shortcut or doing something easier can really rub up against that voice in our head. And it's like we feel like we have to make it really really hard for it to count. But here's the thing. There is something super strategic about choosing a shortcut. We all have limited time and energy and if we can do something that is going to make it quicker or it's going to make it easier or a bit more joyful for ourselves, then how on earth is that cheating? So putting this idea of you being lazy aside for a second, what is one way that you can make your life easier? What is one thing that you could do that would mean less effort on your part but the same results, if not better? And a bigger question which might be worth gentling around is what changes would you make in your life? Or what would you do differently if you didn't believe you were lazy?
There are so many tools at our disposal, especially with the internet, where we don't have to learn Excel in extreme depth and we can go on Etsy and buy a template or we can go and download one for free. We don't have to reinvent the wheel every single time. And I'm of the belief that if possible, we should aim to get to the point where we spend our best energy and time on the things that only we can do. So as you go about your day to day, I just want you to think about what is one thing you can make easier? And what different choices would you make if you weren't worried about being lazy? That's my food with thought for you today. And in case you need the reminder, you, my dear, you really, really, really aren't lazy. You do a fuck turn whether you recognize it or not. I'll see you tomorrow.
