About this episode
In today’s episode, I’m talking about the importance of ditching the “when and then” thinking—you know, the idea that when you reach a certain point, then you can finally rest. Spoiler alert: there is no perfect “there,” so it’s time to take control of our calendars and make rest a part of our routine. I share my own journey through Colorado’s high altitude, reflections on overworking, and why we need to give up being the “general manager of the universe” and prioritize balance, rest, and truly living.
Episode Highlights:
[02:00] Colorado Adventures and altitude dizziness: Why balance is a journey
[05:00] The “when and then” trap: How your body forces you to rest
[12:00] Giving God your calendar: Making space for rest and joy
The Journey Continues:
Balance isn’t just about scheduling time for work; it’s also about making rest a priority. Today’s episode encourages you to take control of your time, let go of overworking, and realize that you don’t need to be the “general manager of the universe” to live a fulfilled life. We’re continuing to release episodes recorded in July and August 2024 on all audio platforms and YouTube, and My Happy Ass Life will soon evolve into a weekly, longer podcast by the end of October 2024.
