It's like I know for a fact I'm at my most productive when I'm relaxed and carefree, and I get to the end of the day and I'm like, whoa, there's no way I thought I'd have got all that stuff done.
And it's when I'm in the story about what it all means and how bloody awful it's going to be and...
what's going to happen as a result and all that story.
That's when I find myself, you know, grinding my gears, spinning my wheels.
we're not denying circumstances here but what we're looking at is our experience of those circumstances and just like we um are so often most productive when we're in our default state of calm clear clear-headedness when it comes to uh circumstances that that we have to deal with
It's no coincidence that we're also at our best in those circumstances when we're calm and clear-headed.
seeing that good ideas and solutions to problems, including what to do about a difficult work situation or a relationship with a colleague or something, when we see that the solutions to those problems also come from that same place, they don't come from analysis.
I mean, again, I'd invite listeners to examine their own experience.
If you've got something that's been bothering you for a while,
If you were going to figure it out with your left brain, wouldn't you have done it by now?
Wouldn't you have done it by now?
Always.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like TIAs.
Yeah.
And, I mean, when you see that the only thing that we have that can even label something as a trouble is the left brain again.
Okay.
There are no troubles.
That's when you get pretty deep.
