Facing Life's Challenges: Aligning Values with Actions
And again the mindset going back to hard is bad, living in the back of our brains, giving us an easy out when more than likely we should be choosing the harder thing, not hard, for heart's sake.
Ever thought about why some things in life feel like a tough climb, while others seem effortless? In this episode of 'Conscious Contact', hosts Genay Peavey and Susan Sanders dive into the idea of 'choosing your hard'. They unpack why putting in more effort doesn't necessarily mean something isn't worth doing and how they scrutinize their actions to ensure they align with their core values.
It's not about choosing the difficult path for the sake of difficulty, but rather for the heart and meaning it brings to life. Genay and Susan share their personal recovery tools, like 'playing the tape all the way through', which involves imagining the outcomes of their actions before making decisions. They also discuss the importance of changing habits and using tools like the Renew Planner to stay on track.
Time management and setting boundaries, especially around social media, are also on the table as they reveal their own struggles and strategies. Plus, they introduce the CC Podcast Book Club, inviting listeners to join the conversation on social media. If you're seeking inspiration and practical advice for living a more authentic life, this episode is a must-listen.
