One year, from concept and first action - that went fast – this a retrospective. We talk about what has transpired, what we think about it, what we’ve learned, and what comes next for us.
Key Questions:
Q. What have you learned about yourself thought he podcast?
Q. What’s the perspective about how the podcast fit into your life?
Mental habit / action / tool examples:
- Always look for ways you can learn new things from seemingly mundane actions.
- Try not to reach too far for what seems appropriate for an audience – rather do it for something that resonates within you.
- Always lean into what’s uncomfortable – what is hard for you.
- Sharpen an awareness which allows you to observe current actions, especially those which are not working toward your intentions.
- Giving ourselves in a meaningful way can serve as an example (to ourselves and others) of how we aspire to be.
- See the lens of what you do but realize that that lens is not who you are.
- Sometimes the things which drain us are not of our making. Keep a vigilant eye.
