Short one today — admittedly, I had something totally different locked and loaded in the editorial calendar, but felt compelled by something (a spirit? the Muse? Lucifer? Who’s to say?) to share this instead.

These are the 11 ideas that I feel have changed my brain, my luck, and my life more than anything else. (I mean, the combo of Notion + Are.na is a close second)

Here are the 11 phrases from the podcast that "rewired my brain chemistry and changed the odds on my luck":

* "It's more fun to have fun."

Make anything more enjoyable for yourself; you might as well have fun with whatever you're doing.

* "If you're not having a good time, it's your fault."

This was a huge one for me during a time of my life where I had paralyzing social anxiety. When I take 100% responsibility for my experience, I’m not longer a victim to my circumstances.

* "If you couldn't tell anyone you got it, would you still want it?"

A test to distinguish between genuine desires and people-pleasing/external validation seeking.

* "It's not failure until the game is over/until the story's over"

You get to decide what the last chapter looks like; failure isn't final until you decide it is.

* "That's none of my business" / "That's Future Me's business"

What are you going to do in five years? What are you going to do with that degree? How are you going to make money with that skill? What will you do if XYZ happens?

Hi, that’s none of my business. I cannot be bothered to worry about things outside my control, including what happens in the future. Also, I trust that Future Me is a brilliant super freak witch who will know what to do when we get there — I have confidence that she’ll figure it out.

* "You have a 100% track record of figuring it out."

Trust that you'll handle whatever comes because you always have before.

* "Your perfect day is always in front of you because perfection is a mindset."

You can always turn your day around; perfection is about mindset, not circumstances.

* "You look stupid doing nothing. You look stupid doing things. You might as well get something out of looking stupid."

Since you'll look dumb either way, you might as well do what you want and enjoy it.

* "Sometimes you just have to admit that we're selling you yoga pants."

It ain’t that deep. Not everything has to be achingly meaningful; it's okay for things to just be fun or simple.

* "The worst thing that can happen is that someone says no."

Ok… they said no… Did you die? No! Time for the next thing.

* "We are all on a journey of ecstasy and bewilderment"

Embrace the mystery and wonder of life! Stop trying to predict everything. You’re stealing the fun and whimsy!

Take what you like, disregard what you don’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Giving you an etheric hug from here — we need your light in the world.
