2ULove Tuesday

A quick, just4fun question:

What are 2 activities you love on Tuesday?

Feel free to share yours in the comments if you’re so led. We’d enjoy hearing them!

If you’d rather keep yours to yourself, that’s fine too. This is simply a fun exercise encouraging you to name and claim for yourself that which brings you joy.

The effects of little things on our overall wellbeing are often underestimated. Consider this Tune-IN-Tuesday and seek your answers.

My 2:

Okay, I love coffee EVERY day, but since Tuesday is but one of the days I love it, it deserves a shout.
ALWAYS!

A new episode of IWT every Tuesday

One of my “therapies”. Seriously. As Ramit says, “Get curious rather than judgmental.” That one phrase alone says it all and it’s become my mantra for everything. It’s amazing to me how quickly my brain can shift to judgment mode without my knowledge of it. That’s NOT a mode I want to linger in for many obvious reasons, not the least of which is that we learn nothing when we’re operating in judgment mode. And learning and understanding are some of my biggest goals, both of which are hindered when I judge. And that includes judgment of self. Judging is a default human trait, but that doesn’t mean you can’t train your brain to jump off that sled path and steer it onto the CURIOSITY PATH instead. It’s the sure path to enlightenment, as opposed to the well-worn path that in actuality leads nowhere. When I began watching this podcast I thought it was just a money show and I doubted I’d have much in common with those whose financial situation was different than mine. I was wrong. This is first a show about people. The money part of it is subsidiary. Or as Ramit says often:


“The way you feel about money is highly uncorrelated to the amount in your bank account.”

-Ramit Sethi

It turned out that I don’t see the differences in myself and others when I watch this show as much as I see the ways we’re alike. Behaviors and invisible scripts that may be blocking me without my knowledge become more readily uncovered when it’s been mirrored to me in easily seeing what’s blocking them.

As Dr. Phil so aptly summed up long ago: “There’s something about that ole boy I don’t like about myself.” FYI: In my pocketful of oft used, necessary reminders and mantras, if this was an actual paper-in-my-pocket note to self, it would be so worn out that it’d probably be reduced to a piece of lint by now…

I’ve never walked away from this show not having learned something about myself and others. And oh yeah, financial wisdom. How could I forget?

Looks like I need more coffee!
