Jan 26, 201700:59:06Tap to summarizeProductivity isn’t traumatic If you make it less vague and erratic. Don’t push and don’t force, Instead, set the course, Then accomplish things on automatic! when it’s good to be on autopilot and when it’s dangerous. habits vs. practices (autopilot vs. mindful) habits got a bad rap “morning routines, morning autopilot, was what I have used, ever since high school, to get from nice comfy bed to horrible morning school or job. Autopilot doesn’t take me anyplace good.” – a past student “good” habits vs. “bad” habits let go of “should” motivation to form a habit (see also next week) Gretchen Rubin’s habit types: Upholders wake up and think, “What’s on the schedule and the to-do list for today?” Rebels wake up and think, “What do I want to do today?” Obligers wake up and think, “What must I do today?” Questioners wake up and think, “What needs to get done today, and why?” What Kind of Person Are You?

Transcribe →WCML 116: Peaceful Productivity 1: Peaceful Self-Care
Jan 12, 201700:59:28Tap to summarizeProductivity? Better beware. I’ll compare, which will lead to despair. Instead of this struggle, How ’bout a nice snuggle? Let’s start off with peaceful self-care. making peace with productivity “I am hard on myself when I feel unproductive.” survey question. half the class agreed and the other half… strongly agreed. tapes rewriting tapes. you can’t erase them. “I get more done in one hour when I’m well-rested than I get done in eight hours of pushing through.” “I would rather be a peaceful failure than a stressed-out success.” “Taking care of myself is important, valuable, and necessary.” “I’m worthy of love for who I am, not for what I do.” self-trust we are heart people in a brain world Help Wanted story structure resistance to structure, like “you have to go to bed now” as a kid I used to think “structure meant a lack of freedom” structure = “I have to get up at 8am” but it doesn’t have to be like that. It can be semi-flexible acceptance and compassion. whatever you choose, even if it’s not the productive option, choose it wholeheartedly resisting the things that are the most important – it’s actually a good sign Spiritual practice is the magic bullet for maintaining peace. Rest and play Give yourself permission to be where you are and take care of yourself Spaciousness inside out. Heart first, calendar second. Stay-at-home retreat Even a little time is enough to be kind to yourself Put your own oxygen mask on first. “If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” -Jack Kornfield capacity management – schedule recovery days, don’t oversocial yourself before a big social thing What even is self-care? How to know what is effective self-care for yourself. Thanks for listening to Wild Crazy Meaningful Life!
