Critiques By Tanya Moushi

Your body has this really awesome way to get you to rest: it’s called “by force”

I was recently introduced to the work of Esther Perel, a renowned psychologist. She says, "There's a difference between not being dead and being alive." While one is living, the other is thriving; and to thrive, properly defined, is: to flourish, to grow vigorously and develop in a healthy way. So don't be merely not dead. It's your job to put yourself in positions where thriving is possible.

Something to pay attention to is your relationship with truth. Do you let it in? Do you ignore it? Do you confuse it? Do you bend it? "The truth doesn't change with your ability to stomach it"--that's one of my favorite quotes. The truth is your friend. It's a rumble--but it's your friend.

Resilience is the fifth try after 4 knock outs. It's the willingness to let go of what's heavy so you can hold on to what's light. It's not at all about how much you and take but about how flexible you can be when life takes you. Resilience refers to elasticity. If you're getting stretched thin, it's only because you're getting ready to get propelled forward. Fly like a rubberband, friend.  Get these ahead of everyone else and influence what gets broadcasted by signing up (for free!) at dailyinspire.co --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dailyinspire/support

Decide who you want to be and be it. How you might ask? Do the things that the person you want to be, does. Give yourself grace when you slip up--which you will, and be determined to try again. Like anything, your best habits (saving money, eating well, practicing boundaries, whatever you want really), will become second nature.

Asking for help isn't, "Hey can I borrow $200?" It's "Hey, can you teach me how to save?" Find the need behind the need, and work on that.

You help shape the whole path of your life by asking, “what will I do in this moment?” over and over again. And your answer to that, while it might be based on other people (kids, spouse, parents) needs to incorporate You. You show up for others. I encourage you to show up for yourself, too.

Self doubt is annoyingly good at stopping you before you've started. It's superb at distracting you into doing something -anything-other than what you deeply want to do. It's the master at making sure you barely try. Self doubt is an asshole. But it doesn't respond to frustration and anger. It responds to effort and momentum: a tiny successful step and then another. Start stupid small. Get these ahead of everyone else and influence what gets broadcasted by signing up (for free!) at dailyinspire.co --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dailyinspire/support

Whether or not you live courageously isn't a testament to your power, it's a testament to your practice. Courage is not a one and done skill like riding a bike or learning to swim. It's an active, daily decision that you get to make. You already have the power. Practice making the choice.

Resentment is a feeling that steals energy and warps focus. It should never be inside you. But inevitably it does creep up from time to time. The moment you feel it building up, get rid of it. Say it out loud or sweat it out or cry it out. It has no business being in your business.

The most beautiful part of being human is being human. The range of emotion attached to logic and reason is arguably the most powerful part of ourselves, and so many of us try to numb it out, staying as stoic as possible to keep reason and emotion aligned. How annoying. Let yourself feel something. Allow joy and excitement and one-person dance parties to happen. Play. That's what adults do. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dailyinspire/support

Sledding, skiing, snowboarding are forms of play that emerged in the harshest human conditions. Someone chose to see those possibilities while everyone else stayed inside. The first step to doing anything is believing that you can. You definitely can't control all of it. You certainly can't control the weather, but you can control what you do in the rain. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dailyinspire/support

When making anything, it's not about how many people like your work. It's about Who. Do you respect those people? Because the opinion of "everyone" doesn't matter. Focus on yourself and the people you admire. What they think is not a final judgement of your work, but a valuable guide in the creation of it.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dailyinspire/support

The power of tiny goals is this: You make incremental progress that feels meaningless, but in fact compounds: $1, then $10, then $100. 1 client, then 5 clients, then 20. 10 crunches, 30 crunches, then 50. Eventually you'll see that when compounded, it looks like a leap from where you began to where you are now--but it wasn't. It was one tiny, intentional step after another.
