Y.I.E.L.D. Today With Dallin Candland

One of the most humbling things I have learned in my life is how fragile inspiration and excitement really are. If we do not take advantage and learn from these states (instead giving them to other things) we will be sorely disappointed.On the other hand, as we dive into our curiousities and do things with our excitement and other emotions we will find so much joy and be all the better for it. We will have lived better lives.  We will live with more freedom as well. Happy 4th of July! I am so thankful to be an American. Hope you all have a wonderful day wherever you are.

Life is truly an infinite game. We get to learn so much from our experiences, others, and they can all help make us so much better. Here are more of my other quick thoughts on the topic.Resources:"The Happiness Expert Making 1 Billion People Happier" - Mo Gawdat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AudOhPG80E8Support the show

Being in Alaska was super neat! I loved being able to help out the youth there and learn from their perspectives and stories.Today I was editing an episode and honestly I am tired of editing episodes. I know how petty this sounds. There are moments where it's great but it is so time consuming. I tend to be a little nitpicky and make sure each episode sounds good and stuff before I send it out there.Anyways yeah I am feeling like the tides are shifting. Perhaps my time running the YIELD Today podcast is coming to a close. Perhaps I will be able to find someone to continue its valiant work... I don't know. All I do know is that I trusted God when it came to starting the podcast and I need to trust Him as well if He needs me to finish it. I always intended this to be a longer-term project but if God says I have learned as much as I need to from it than I won't argue with him.I'll keep you all in the loop on this. For now I'll keep episodes coming at the normal rate (twice a week) but yea

Here are some of my thoughts here on my birthday. I honestly struggled a lot with various storms that came up. In the moment at times I let my lack of love for myself to spill into running around like a chicken with my head cut off. This lack of focus of course led to more lack in life... and in some tough moments it led me to think that I was the problem. Those storms were all temporary, but the damage from them has carried forward to each new storm I have been in since. Recognizing this though has been quite healing and transformational.In pondering and digging though I have realized anew that I am enough and I will never find any reasons for why I am not enough. Drawing conclusions that I am not based on social media posts or things of that nature (like focusing on the things I haven't done yet) is tempting at times... but it is always a lie.Lots of pains, struggles, and other things learned. I am so much stronger after all of it though. I chose to turn to God and He has lifted me up again and I am de

I'll be honest - I do not have enough episodes uploaded ahead of time for me to do my counseling sessions for FSY. I'm going to be a youth counselor for most of the summer and I am pumped to travel around and help out some youth!I did record about 12 interviews in the last month but editing them all by myself will take some time. To ensure I still get some content out during these months I decided to do some Dallin's Quick Thought episodes. These will dive deep into one particular topic and I hope it will be a blessing to you with starting out your day or for whenever you listen to it.I'll be uploading an interview next Monday but after that until June 26th it'll just be DQT episodes on Monday and Thursday. Thank you for your patience and I hope they are helpful. :)Consider the cost of a tower before you build it - Luke 14:28Dallin's Quick Thoughts Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj6bwZIhdz949tpaZiKWZccjoZA2ORNC8Support the show

Over the last 12 days or so I have done 3 cold plunges by Provo Canyon! It was awesome how I got into these, and the thoughts I've had from them have been super useful too!1. Acceptance - Being able to accept the state you are in when it is needed is a superpower.2. Day Starters - Starting your day off with something you enjoy is huge.3. Mind vs. Body - The body is stronger than the mind will ever give it credit for.Podcast YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEnSRg9lbF5NEjJsWMBbYMgMedium Article:https://medium.com/@DallinsYield/3-of-my-best-thoughts-after-3-polar-plunges-c55cf9d759b0May 16, 2023 Edit: I changed the title from "Polar Plunge" to "Cold Plunge" recently after realizing that cold plunge fits the title of what I was actually doing better.

Some nights seem darker and longer than others. We do not know when the sun will come back out, but we trust that it will (because it always has). For those times when the darker nights of our lives seem to be dragging on it helps to hold onto some absolutes. These are like street lights in that dark night.They are on all the time - and you see that most clearly at night.Here are three of those that I am learning more about and holding on to. I hope they are helpful for you in some way.1. You are fighting your own battle2. Everything will add up3.  There are many on a similar plain as you.Support the show

One of the hardest things is to be able to put up the white flag for the battle that just don't matter. In the moment they may seem useful and the prizes worth it but in the eternal perspective they are nothing but smoke.In this very reflective episode I dove DEEP into 3 reasons why this mindset can be so helpful. I wasn't able to get an interview up but I thought you all would appreciate this episode. Hope it is helpful for those who feel stuck and are struggling with losing some of those battles. Taking an "L" for the battles not worth fighting ALWAYS leads to a "W" in the ones worth fighting. You do not fight alone. :)If you'd like to communicate with the YIELD Today community on the Discord server here's the link: https://discord.com/invite/KR5cdstcEB1. Embrace Acceptance and Presence2.

Throughout my podcasting journey I've learned the major importance of having high energy levels.If my energy levels are low it is hard to pump out an episode.What do you do then when your energy levels are low and you don't know what to do next?Well, I hope that this episode helps with answering that question!1. Creation - Take all that you are feeling and turn it into a poem, song, drawing, etc.2. Connection - Share all that you are feeling with people you trust.3. Recreation - Give all that you are feeling to a fun or chill activity (like playing basketball or watching a movieRelated Episodes:"When Your Battery Life Goes Low" #5 - https://www.buzzsprout.com/543310/1733650Check out the podcast's YouTube channel for bonus clips and more! : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEnSRg9lbF5NEjJsWMBbYMgSupport the show

I graduated from college nearly a month ago! I have had TONS of time to reflect and dig out some various gems and lessons for the next chapter of my life. Here are the three big ones that are my mind right now.1. Those Were The Glory Days - I didn't realize it as much as I do now... but those days in college were the glory days! Even in the rough times there were still plenty of glorious moments and times.Towards the end of the experience I feel I more or less grinded the last days away. Now I am in a brand new chapter of glory days, and I am thankful for all the pain and agony I have felt as it has given me perspective for the bright moments and opportunities yet ahead.2. You Reap What You Sow - Of everything that I did and didn't do in college I am seeing all of the good and not so good fruits of it now. There is no way to escape this eternal law. Peace and plenty in the good times is often preceded by tons of work and enjoying the journey in the not as chill times. 3. Value of Relationships - I f
