1100:Let's start the week differently

Today we're kicking off the week in a rebellious fashion and looking at the week from a different angle! 

 
 
 

Episode transcript:

Good morning, Daily Peppers. A very happy Monday to you. So to kick off this week, we're gonna do it a bit different. Typically, when we think about a Monday, we think about all the shit that we have to do. When we look at our calendar, we're constantly adding things. We're adding things to our to do list. And a lot of the time, we start the week off feeling like we're already behind. So if that feels familiar to you, today, I'm gonna challenge us to do it a bit differently.

So rather than just looking at your to do list today, I want you to spend 5 minutes thinking about what you're not gonna do this week. What is actually not a priority? Are there any meetings or things that you can take off your calendar that just don't need to be there? Are there any tasks that are rolling on week after week that you just have to forgive and let go? And are there things that you have majorly over committed to that you need to politely decline? Mondays can feel like an intimidating beast as they are, let alone with all the stuff we add to the week. So even if this feels uncomfortable and maybe especially if this feels uncomfortable, have a look through your task list, have a look through your to do list, have a look through your calendar, have a look at all the things you've committed to, and prioritize. And also keep in mind that idea that I often find quite frustrating that for every yes you make, you're saying no to something else. And let's face it around here, one of the things that we tend to say no to the most is actually ourselves. So what are you not gonna do this week? And what are you gonna say no to? Remember that you do have limited time, energy, and capacity. Choices do have to be made, and it is certainly not selfish to take yourself into account regardless of whether you've been told otherwise.

Have a good one and remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.

1099: Curiosity is your superpower

To wrap up the week, today’s episode is a permission slip to help weekend you approach things with a little more compassion.

 
 
 

Episode transcript:

Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Friday to you. So to wrap up this week, I wanna pop in with a reminder that not everything has to be strategic and has to be super rational all the time. I think for us rebels and us creatives and multi passionates, we get a bad rap when it comes to starting new projects, and I think part of the bad rap comes from our own inner dream jitter. We all have internalized stuff to do with being flaky, chasing shiny objects, not finishing things, etcetera. And we forget all the things that we have finished and also that curiosity is our superpower. We tend to end up coming up with loads of quirky ways to get ourselves to finish things and be super strategic. And while I love a good flexible container and while I love a good structure, and I think they can be enormously freeing for us, Sometimes what we need is permission to go down the rabbit hole and just go and do whatever the fuck we want and chase that new shiny object. If we're always doing things when we're supposed to be doing them, we often rebel.

And the truth is that often, when we do things that we want to do, we get them done so much quicker because we actually wanna be doing it and we feel like it. And I know feelings don't come into the productivity debate much, which I think is a massive shame and is something I'm really trying to change. So if you need a permission slip this weekend to go start that random project, to just do what you fancy and follow your whimsy, This is your position slip. Go down the rabbit holes. Chase the shiny things. And be unapologetically you. See you on Monday, my darlings.

            1092: An unconventional take on blooming

            A lot of the time we associate blooming with things looking good on the outside, but today we’re diving into the more subtle side of what it means to bloom (and how to recognise it).

             
             
             

            Episode transcript:

            Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. So for yesterday's episode, I left on the quote that I love that I've shared quite a few times around here about how nothing in nature blooms all year long, so don't expect yourself to either. So for today's episode, I want to dig a bit deeper into that, specifically the part about what it means to bloom. It is so easy to think that the times in our life when we're blooming is when things are looking really good on the outside or we're going through some big change that is visible to everyone. But that's not necessarily the case. A lot of the changes and a lot of the blooming that we do is very internal, and it's also very slow, and that is part of the process. You're not doing anything wrong. But I think if we think of blooming only in the case of when the flower becomes bright and is at its most beautiful, what we can do is ignore some of the biggest transformations that actually happen along the way.

            I'm a huge fan of celebrating what I call your intangible wins, because they are often some of the most important wins that we have. And intangible wins are the things that are never going to appear on your to do list and can be things like setting boundaries, your ability to deal with the situation and have hard conversations, that kind of thing. And I don't think any of us give ourselves enough credit for those intangible wins, nor do we often recognize them. So I just want to invite you today to think about what the different stages of blooming are for you and what it means to bloom in different areas of your life. Because that is going to look different for each of us. There is no right way of doing it. Some things take longer to bloom than others. Some things bloom more loudly, some things bloom more quietly.

            But I bet if you looked for it, you could find an area in your life where you're blooming right now. Because we do not have one singular flower, we are made up of many, many different flowers and many different facets of our life. We are continual works in progress, and there is always something to celebrate. So here's to your intangible wins, here's to your many blooming flowers, and here's to remembering that everything changes when you believe you matter.

            1091: What season are you in?

            Sometimes it can feel like we’re going to be burnt out or busy forever! Today we’re diving into the helpful (and relieving) approach of seeing life in seasons.

             
             
             

            Episode transcript:

            Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Tuesday to you. Now I don't know about you, but I am really good at all or nothing thinking. When I'm going through a busy period or when I'm feeling really exhausted, It's really easy for me to believe that it's always gonna be this way. And I end up in a kind of double pressure situation where I'm trying to deal with life in that moment as it is and I'm also future worrying about having to deal with it continually. Now there are times in our lives where we just have to push through and the light at the end of the tunnel feels a bit further away than we'd like. But there are other times where it's really helpful to consider what season of life you're in right now because chances are the busy season is not gonna last all year. The exhaustion will also not last forever, and it's about recognizing what season we're in right now. So that is the question I wanna pose for you today.


            What kind of season are you in? Recognizing our seasons can make them so much easier to deal with, and it's also a really helpful way to be more flexible and adaptable to our own needs. Because if we can figure out what season of life we're in right now, we can figure out what we need in this season. We can figure out what is actually important and the things that we can pick up later. If it is a really busy chaotic season for you, it might be about putting yourself into maintenance mode and just doing the absolute necessary. And if it's a bit more of a fallow period, but you know you've got a busy period coming up, what can you do to really rejuvenate during the season and also make the next season easier for future you? Our seasons don't necessarily match up with the time of the year it is. But if you can identify which of the 4 seasons you're in, that can also be a helpful way of figuring out what you need right now and what kind of time it is for you if you're not really sure. And I want to leave you with a quote that I've shared quite a few times on here, but I never get sick of saying. And it's that whole thing about nothing in nature blooms all year round, so don't expect yourself to either. Have a good one, and I'll see you tomorrow.

              1085: Let's give future us a break

              We’re kicking off the week with some compassionate strategy, and giving future us a well-earned break!

               
               
               

              Episode transcript:

              Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Monday to you. I wanna kick off this week with a reminder that you don't have to solve everything this week. I think every week we get to Sunday or we get to Friday, and we pin so many hopes on our future self. It can be comforting to do that in the moment because it means present us doesn't have to deal with us. But it can often mean that future us, e. G. Monday us right now, feels a bit burdened and put upon. So if you're feeling like that, I really invite you to look at everything you need to do this week and actually see if you need to do it.

              And, also, see if you can put in place some kind things for Tuesday you, Wednesday you, Thursday you, or Friday you. For many of us, our automatic response to our future selves is just to give her more work, is to give her more shit to do and more shit to think about. But I'm pretty damn sure that future you is gonna be grateful if you've planned something that they can actually enjoy, and there's not just one more thing to do. So that is some food for thought as you go about planning your week. Remember that you don't have to get it all done, that if it feels like a bare minimum week or a maintenance week, then by all means, just do what you have to do and do the bare minimum. And if you have woken up feeling full of beans, make sure you plan some rest time too. So happy Monday my dears. I hope this week provides you with lots of unexpected joy.

              Treat yourself how you would treat a dear friend. And remember as always that everything changes when you believe you matter.

                        1071: A messy pep talk!

                        Today we're all about embracing our wonderful, messy, inconsistent selves!

                         
                         
                         

                        Episode transcript:

                        Good morning, Daily Peppers. And a very happy Tuesday to you. So I don't know about you, but one thing I'm really good at is having an existential crisis. I can have a really good idea that I love one day, and the next day I can be absolutely tearing it to shreds. And rather than think about the different stuff I've got going on in my life and how that might be influencing that, I just buy into that thought hook, line, and then sinker. The fact that I might not have slept very well and I don't really have energy for the idea doesn't come into it. The fact that there's something going on in my personal life and maybe I'm a bit frustrated, that doesn't come into it either. I just assume that the idea is shit, and I just go by whatever I'm feeling that day.

                        Now I'm a huge fan of compassionate productivity and being led by what feels good to us. But I think we also need to be a little bit discerning of how we feel about something scary, a project we're doing, a decision we're making on a day to day basis. Because as humans, we are fabulously inconsistent beings. Some days things feel amazing, some days they feel utter shite and it might not actually be to do with the situation itself. That might not have changed, but different external factors might have. What I'm trying to say here is that just because you don't feel good about an idea or a project one day, doesn't mean that the project is just bullshit. Because you haven't got the energy to do something another day doesn't mean that you're not gonna do it. Give yourself grace for being the fabulous, imperfect, messy human that you are and that we all are.

                        The same way some people say don't go to bed in an argument. Don't believe your inner critic when you're tired because it is speaking more bullshit than normal and it also pokes even harder at the most tender spots because it spots an opportunity. So if you're making any big decisions, see what you feel like over the course of a week and take into account the other context of your life. See what patterns come up and remember that some shit days really are just a blip and treat them accordingly. So that is my messy pep talk for you today. Have a good Tuesday. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. And remember, my darlings, that everything changes when you believe you matter.
