EP60: Why does temporary feel permanent? (Video Podcast)

Please follow the Facebook profile for the podcast! The link is in my linktree in the bottom of the episode description. It is the link at the very top. I want to say I recorded this episode about 3.5 weeks ago. I wrote down some things that give us pleasure when we do them. Among them are common things like: drugs, sex, alcohol, etc. These things, in my opinion, can become addicting and, at minimum, can distract us from more important things and more important questions that we haven't thought about long and hard enough. Maybe none of these distract you or maybe they do. Maybe there's things I didn't mention that distract you. But, as always, the point of the episode is to provoke thought and the hope is that in some small way you think about something that improves or helps your life. Let me know what you think of the episode by leaving a comment in the comment section of the YouTube video or any of the other various ways to contact me found in my linktree.

Have you ever had a long day? Week? Month? Year? Do you remember something that was a shorter length of time than you recall? Why does something feel like it's never going to end? I don't have a technical answer to that question, but in this episode I do share examples from my own life of things that felt permanent but actually weren't. What are some things in your life that you thought were permanent but weren't?

Are you off to a slow start? Are you making slow progress? Have you "taken off?" My thoughts are that this Podcast, and my YouTube Channel even, is off to a slow start, but it is making slow progress. More of my thoughts are that I'm off to a slow start in a low of areas of my life, and it used to bother me but it doesn't anymore. Being off to a slow start means: you started. Congratulations! Most people don't. Being off to a slow start means: you're moving slowly, but you're MOVING. Congratulations! You might actually get where you want to get. Not starting at all guarantees you'll never "take off"/succeed. And neither does starting and then making slow progress. But with starting and slow progress there's at least the possibility that you'll "take off"/succeed. What do you think?

Why don't you want to try? Are you scared of trying? Are you scared of making a mistake? Are you scared of failing? I reflect on something I learned from a coworker some time back: The older we get, the harder it is to learn because we're scared of making a mistake and failing. Making mistakes and failing is part of learning anything new. So what do we do? I think we try anyways, especially if it's something we need to learn; but even if it's something we just want to learn. Fear, or being scared, is a mental state, but it's also an emotion/feeling. I think we need to move forward, learn, and do the thing even if we feel fear. What do you think?

Have you every thought about your blessings? Even the obvious ones? It's probably harder to notice and think about the obvious ones because they're so obvious. I decided to write down a page of my obvious blessings and share what I came up with-with you. My hope is you'll think about some obvious blessings and that-that will re-energize, rejuvenate, excite you, and fill you with enthusiasm. Thank you for watching and listening and I sincerely hope you enjoy it and it helps in some way.

When you want something or when you want to do something: it happens in steps. And you need to work on the steps frequently. And you need to do it at a frequency that you can sustain for a period of time until you get what you want or do the thing you want to do. So that begs the question: what can I sustain? What can you sustain? I think we have this ideal frequency: "I want to do 'x' one hour a day." But what happens if we can only do it 10 mins a day? Or 15 mins a day? More often than not: we do zero because we can't do it the ideal hour that we want to do. But it's better to sustain doing something for 10-15 minutes a day or even 5 minutes a day than never doing it because you can't devote as much time as we'd like.  That and some other thoughts on this 56th episode of the Dani Flo Podcast.  I sincerely hope you enjoy it!   Lastly, please: like, subscribe, and share the episode with your besties and your fam bam (or anyone you know it could help).   JMJ, Dani   If you're curious: https://linktr.ee/daniflopodcast

On the "positive" side (for lack of better terminology), sometimes it feels like we're winning at life (or in parts of our life). On the "negative" side, sometimes it feels like we're losing at life (or in parts of our life). The latter feels more often than the former. Why is that? I can think of two reasons that go hand-in-hand on why it feels this way to us, and I think if we stopped doing these two things then it wouldn't feel like we're losing at life as often as it feels like it does.

Haters are real. But I think the majority of the time: my biggest hater is me and your biggest hater is you. Other people have less impact on our life and choices than we have on our life and choices. Why don't you wake up early? Because you didn't want to; that's not a haters fault. Why don't you work harder? Because you don't want to; that's not a haters fault. Etc. Essentially, you and I are getting in our own way; way more than a hater is.  Do you agree? Yes or yes? No or no?

Happy Early Valentine's Day! Have you ever heard stereotypes about philosophy? That it's just deep thinking? I know that I have. At the same time, no one wants to be seen as shallow nor be reduced to just their looks. We all want people, especially the people we care about, to know that there's something deeper. Maybe even something philosophical?

Some things were important to us and then they stopped, some were and still are, and some weren't and then they became and are important, and some weren't and then became important and then went back to being unimportant (I think that covers it).  Well, I always wanted to be a father since I was a kid but then (for various reasons) I decided I didn't want kids (or marriage) and then once I became Catholic I went back to my original desire of wanting to be a father (and a good one).  Well, after I decided (again) to pursue it, I remember listening to a podcast about fatherhood intensifying for someone and I knew that it would for me one day, too.   Well, that day has come, my fatherhood has intensified (and probably will again).   Please let me know if you've ever thought about this or if this episode is making you think about it.  Please also leave a review, subscribe/follow the podcast, and share the episode (in hopes you know someone it may help).  JMJ, Dani  If you're curious: https://linktr.ee/daniflopodcast
