No one's going to die, you know?

And I think that's good advice for everyone to keep in mind that it is worth prioritizing this, even if it makes some of the other stuff feel a little bit less perfect.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And I think also having a flexible approach to leisure.
voice-verified
Again, this guy that I talked to who's a devout mountain biker, he doesn't have set days per week which he goes, which when we think about habit forming is kind of a frequent piece of advice.
voice-verified
And actually, when I started swimming with a girlfriend of mine this past year, I was like –
voice-verified
Oh, we need to pick a day like a Monday.
voice-verified
That way we will commit to it.
voice-verified
That's just not possible for a lot of people that have really busy lives.
voice-verified
I have found in this guy that I was talking to also found that actually being flexible, kind of fitting your leisure time in around other people.
voice-verified
their obligations because you're not going to not go to your kid's dance recital or you probably shouldn't, you know, skip your kid's dance recital.
voice-verified
You're not going to blow off that big project at work.
voice-verified
And so I think when we have unrealistic expectations, like you were saying, JR, like a lack of flexibility, this idea, I either do it on Tuesday nights or I don't do it at all.
voice-verified
That's the wrong approach.
voice-verified
I think we want to kind of try to fit it in around the rest of our stuff in our lives because that stuff isn't going away.
voice-verified
Yeah, I think sometimes we have unreasonable expectations.
voice-verified
We think this like perfect moment is going to come, you know, where it's total quiet and it's just going to feel like this relaxation descending upon us.
voice-verified
And what I heard from folks, especially one career coach told me was it doesn't feel like that, especially right at the beginning, you know.
voice-verified
You might successfully carve out that half hour and you sit down and that to-do list is still running in your head or you can hear your kids screaming.
voice-verified
But you want to just try to sit with it and know that it's a practice and it will get better and it's worth doing even when it doesn't feel like the moment is perfect because chances are that perfect moment is never coming.
