      930: Where can you add some crispy onions?

      Sometimes life can feel a little stale and in need of a little something to jazz it up, if that sounds like you - I’ve got you covered!

       
       

      Episode transcript:

      Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Monday to you. Whether you are Feeling it or whether you're feeling shit, The Daily Pep is here to help you start your day with a compassionate mind. So one of the things that we've Been really enjoying lately is trying new food. We have been trying lots of new recipes. We finally figured out how to create a tasty stir fry. And something we are really loving adding to every rice noodle dish, which is pretty much a lot of what we eat, is crispy onions. Now I'm not pretending crispy onions are a new thing, but they're a new thing for us. There's something about them and the texture that simply works.



      Now as you might be able to imagine, if you've been around here for a little while, I love a metaphor. And while I do genuinely fucking love those crispy onions, I'm really interested in the crispy onions of our own life if you have it. You know I like to get cheesy and I'm leaning into it. It is so easy to get stuck in a rut, and it is so easy for things to feel a bit stale or to feel a bit bland. And sometimes we just need the extra texture or something something in our lives to make it feel a bit fresh, a bit new, or to add a bit of joy. So my question to kick off this week is if you look at your day to day life and the things that you do a lot. Now we're not trying to get bogged down into what habits and routines we want to have, but we're looking at what we actually do, and we're doing that without blame or shame. Where is there space in your own life to add some crispy onions? This doesn't necessarily have to mean going to buy something. It can just be adding a layer of texture or some more niceness to stuff you already do. That could look like getting to bed 10 minutes early with a really good book. It could look like adding some more podcast to your morning routine. That is definitely what I'm doing. It could be taking a different route to somewhere you go regularly or adding something nice on top of something that you tend to do a lot. Now to be clear, what we are not doing is we're not trying to make it Instagramable. We're not trying to make it fancy. We're simply trying to add a bit of joy In terms of what feels joyful to us.



      And like I've said before, a lot of us struggle with the concept of joy and what our own unique joy is. And this could also be a fun way to find that out. So as you go about your day today, be on the lookout for opportunities for crispy onions. You don't have to do all of them. I definitely recommend starting with 1 and starting small. But consciously look for where you could put them, And I think you might be pleasantly surprised. And chances are, whatever ideas you had pop into your head as you listen to this, they might be a good place to start, so here's to adding in some magic to the mundane.



      Here's to finding and adding our own version of crispy onions, And here's to finding some unexpected joy today. I'll see you tomorrow.

                                906: An unlikely way to actually get things done

                                If you've tried all the tricks in the book but nothing seems to be helping you get stuff done, I've got a very counterintuitive solution! 

                                 
                                 
                                 

                                Episode transcript:

                                Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Tuesday to you. So it'd be yesterday's episode. I'm sharing a handy little tip for what to do when you're trying to focus and you're struggling to get things done. And for today's episode, we're focusing on the same struggle, but coming at it from a completely different angle, which is this. Sometimes when we are really, really trying to do something, the solution is to take a bit of a break or stop trying to do the thing for a while. Now that is gonna sound completely counterintuitive, And until you've tried it, it's probably gonna sound like complete bollocks, but it really works. Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to do the thing that it is just not gonna happen because we're trying too damn hard. It's a bit like when you deliberately take some time off or you have a bit of a rest and suddenly you've got loads of new ideas and you're thinking, well, this is great, but where were these a week ago? And maybe it's even a bit annoying because you're trying to really not work, but your brain is having none of it.

                                So if you are struggling to start something or if there is something you really want to do and it is just not happening, Give yourself permission to not do the thing. Chances are, 1 of 2 things are gonna happen. Number one is that you actually have a decent rest and you come back way more refreshed with new perspectives and new ideas. Or number 2, when you stop trying, it becomes a whole lot easier because it doesn't feel so full on. And you feel less that you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. So if you're trying to do something or struggling to focus, And you feel like you've tried all the tricks in the book. Really give this one a go. It is completely unconventional, completely counterintuitive, But sometimes the very things that seem the most ridiculous are the ones that really fucking work.

                                And lastly, if you're listening to this, and you're under a deadline and you're thinking, I really can't afford to take a break. My dear, that is when you most need one. You can make it a really short micro break, but pushing through is not always the answer. And often arrest no matter how small can do the world of good. So here's to try new things. Here's to doing it differently, and here's to finding some unexpected joy today. I'll see you tomorrow.

                                    902: Here's to naming spiders

                                    This episode is brought to you by Bob the Spider! Today we're diving into the power of naming our fears.

                                     
                                     
                                     

                                    Episode transcript:


                                    Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. So for the next two weeks, I'm recording the Daily Pep from a cosy cottage in Cornwall. And what comes with a cosy cottage around a lot of country roads? All the bugs. So, during recording yesterday, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a massive spider legging it down the stairs like a fucking athlete. I pointed it out to Mr. Meg, who is less of a fan of spiders than me, and he simply replied, oh, it's just Bob. See, in our house we have this rule that whenever we see a bug we don't like or that scares us, which is pretty much all of them, we immediately name it. And we also tend to try and give it a backstory.

                                    We found this is the best way of getting out from underneath the fear, so that rather than being this scary spider, he simply becomes Bob the Spider, who's on a bit of a mission to go find his long lost cousin. Now, the reason I'm sharing this today is because I think there's something here we can take to our bigger fears as well. For example, if we name our inner dreamshitter, it becomes a whole lot easier to deal with. And if we can name our fears or identify them in the moment and be able to say, yep, that's my inner dream shitter thought it would turn up, then it can make it a whole lot easier to deal with. And that is the whole point in this. It's just about making them more manageable because we cannot necessarily eradicate our fears. And I think if we make our end goal to become fearless, then we've set ourselves a pretty high bar. And I'm not sure that is entirely possible, because a lot of our fears are there simply to keep us safe, even though sometimes they can feel far from helpful.

                                    If we can start to name our fears, we can see them more as a side note rather than the main prologue. And while the fears will still be there, maybe we'll be able to expect them, maybe we'll be less distracted by them, and maybe we'll be able to take action quicker. So here's to naming spiders, here's to naming your fears, and here's to having a little bit of fun along the way. Happy hump day and I'll see you tomorrow.
