Episode notes
Pause Before Action
- Slow down to gain clarity before rushing into fixing problems with yourself or your life.
- Taking time to pause is essential for making thoughtful, meaningful changes rather than reactive ones.
Reframe Negative Self-Talk
- Replace negative self-talk "What's wrong with me?" with empowering questions like "What's right with me?"
- Focus on your strengths and good qualities to build emotional energy and self-esteem.
Dual Rest Types Essential
- Restoring yourself requires both active rest (like playing or gardening) and contemplative rest (quiet reflection).
- Balancing "tire swing" active time and "star time" contemplative time restores your sense of self and energy.
