My intention is to post a Thoughtful Thursday column each week and share some of the insights I have learned in the past week. Here are some of the things I’ve learned this week:
Self Improvement Daily- The Reason Ships Sink
https://www.selfimprovementdailytips.com/podcast/the-reason-ships-sink
A ship’s primary purpose is to stay afloat. “Ships don’t sink because of the water around them. They sink because they get water in them.”
This also applies to you and the influences of your life. “Like a ship on top of water, you must navigate the danger, temptation, and vices around you without letting them affect you.” You must keep the negative influences out of your life if you want to stay afloat.
I am currently reading High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard. One concept that really resonated with me is that when switching between tasks/meetings/rooms, we need to remember to pause and RELEASE TENSION, SET INTENTION.
Don’t bring tension to all future aspects of your day. How many times have we been guilty of having a rough morning and carrying it into all aspects of our day? Have you had a conversation or meeting that didn’t pan out the way you wanted it to and resulted in you carrying frustration or resentment toward those involved? Have you had a rough day at work and carried it into your relationships at home?
RELEASE TENSION, SET INTENTION.
On Purpose Podcast with Jay Shetty- 3 Ways to Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
Frames of mind that hold us back: “We have always done it that way.” “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.”
What are your blind spots? What is it that challenged you before that you have now conquered? What is the area in your life where you’re getting comfortable and complacent where you don’t want to be? How many of your best moments came from something that was uncomfortable at first?
Growth requires discomfort.
From the Jordan Harbinger Show- Banned Foods
The European Union has banned aspartame, which is one of the primary sweeteners used in the United States for diet sodas and sugar-free items.
Potassium bromate is banned in Canada, China, and the European Union, but is found in the United States in some breakfast sandwiches, pizza rolls, wheat breads, and other items using bleached flour. Potassium bromate has been linked to kidney and nervous system damage, thyroid problems, gastrointestinal discomfort, and cancer.
Olestra is a synthetic cooking oil used as a calorie-free fat substitute in various foods, such as French fries and fat-free potato chips. It is banned in Canada and the European Union, and it inhibits your body’s ability to absorb vitamins.
I look forward to reading, learning, and sharing more with you soon!
