Day 9 “Make It Tolerable” #IAMtheONE Share & Let’s Live! #Podcast Series w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist
“Enjoy your lunch break at the beach, watch a movie while doing dishes, play trap music while you work. If you have to do things you don’t like, make them tolerable.” — Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist
There are some things in life that we don’t want to do, but may have to do. What I am learning is that I can find ways to make the heavy stuff bearable.
I can listen to good music while I do that task I’ve been putting off. I can use my Pomodoro timer and reward myself for my focused time blocks by watching Bridgerton during my breaks.
When I hated my job, I would leave the house early and go to the lake before work. I would grab my lunch and go back to the lake to decompress and return.
When I grocery shop, or have to go to places notorious for having long lines, I put my headphones on and listen to fun music, or play a game on my phone. I listen to biographies and mysteries and sexy romance novels while I drive. I watch movies while I clean. I make delicious sauces to drizzle over vegetables so eating them is pleasurable.
So much of life we try to muscle through it, when we could just find ways to make it more palatable. We feel like everything has to be hard and unpleasant. But why?
If that’s works for you, go for it. But I want to enjoy my life more. There are aspects of life I would gladly not do, but they’re part of my experience. If I’ve gotta do ’em, I’m gonna find a way to enjoy myself before, after, or during. Maybe you can, too.
I talk about this on today’s podcast. Check it out!
