1099 || hunker in a bunker or build a community
Key quotes: "...the way to keep the hungry hordes from storming the gates is by getting them food security now.""I made pro-social arguments for partnership and solidarity as the best approaches to our collective, long-term challenges. The way to get your guards to exhibit loyalty in the future was to treat them like friends right now, I explained. Don’t just invest in ammo and electric fences, invest in people and relationships.""What I came to realise was that these men are actually the losers. The billionaires who called me out to the desert to evaluate their bunker strategies are not the victors of the economic game so much as the victims of its perversely limited rules. More than anything, they have succumbed to a mindset where “winning” means earning enough money to insulate themselves from the damage they are creating by earning money in that way. It’s as if they want to build a car that goes fast enough to escape from its own exhaust."RESOURCE: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prepper-bunkers-apocalypse-survival-richest-rushkoffGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

1098 || digging out of a metaphorical whole (with gusto)
Solving any type of problem can be likened to digging a hole. It is laborious work. And as you continue to dig, the uprooting becomes tougher because the problems you deal with are more compacted and nuanced. That said - it's CRUCIAL we remember that it's a great sign that the work is getting harder. It means you're making progress. Don't get discouraged. Take breaks, be proud you have come this far, and don't get too frustrated. You're doing a great job! Just. keep. digging!GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

1097 || billionaire bunkers + doomsday fears
"Tech billionaires are buying up luxurious bunkers and hiring military security to survive a societal collapse they helped create..." "Their extreme wealth and privilege served only to make them obsessed with insulating themselves from the very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migrations, global pandemics, nativist panic and resource depletion. For them, the future of technology is about only one thing: escape from the rest of us."RESOURCE: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prepper-bunkers-apocalypse-survival-richest-rushkoffGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

1095 || embracing ambiguity
As soon as we label something that is ambiguous, we begin to "substitute the map for the territory". Learning to embrace uncertainty may quite possibly be the most valuable thing you can do for yourself.From Oxford Languages · ambiguity: the quality of being open to more than one interpretation; inexactness.

1094 || hack your routine + improve your life
I have spent so much time searching for that ONE hack/tip/trick/secret that was gonna change my life. I realized recently, that it's dramatically easier to change your entire life, when you stop focusing on changing your entire life + you simply focus on where you are NOW.Let me be clear, that won't stop me from sharing every decent "hack" I find along the way, but it may stop me from putting so much pressure on the hack (and myself) to fix everything at once.RESOURCE: https://www.verywellmind.com/therapist-adhd-life-hacks-7570021GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
