72 - Choice

Full transcript here 👋

Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.

The word for today is choice. Now that we’re hopefully reaching the end of the pandemic, I’m getting nervous. I can feel the social obligations creeping back in. For a long year, everyone had a respite from the feeling that you need to be on the move every single day. Some choice was removed from daily life, and I enjoyed that part of 2020. With vaccines being widespread, choice about where to go and when has returned to our home, but I plan on applying some of what I learned from the limits of the last year.

Today’s concrete challenge is to choose some days and times that you will be still. Think back on practices that have become important to you and your family this past year. Preserve down time or family time in order to remain stable in the ever-increasing busyness of life. It’s coming. I can feel it.

If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will choose some times of rest for myself and my family.”

I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.

Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who sees the value of rest.”

Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today.

Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
