WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.960 you know how it is right yeah always sort of 00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:03.919 chasing the finish line waiting for the end of 00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.339 the day uh waiting for the weekend definitely 00:00:06.339 --> 00:00:08.519 waiting for that next vacation it's like we treat 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.619 joy as this this thing we have to earn maybe 00:00:11.619 --> 00:00:13.880 store up and only use for a few weeks a year 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.320 but what if that feeling you know that real rest 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.440 that freedom that sense of purpose what if that 00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.210 could be your like Every day normal. We dove 00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:26.350 into the sources you shared, really digging into 00:00:26.350 --> 00:00:28.769 this idea of creating a permanent vacation lifestyle. 00:00:29.129 --> 00:00:31.750 So our mission here really is to pull out the 00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:33.829 blueprint. Yeah. How do you shift from just getting 00:00:33.829 --> 00:00:36.229 through life to actually actively celebrating 00:00:36.229 --> 00:00:39.369 it every day? Yeah. And let's be super clear 00:00:39.369 --> 00:00:41.549 right up front. This isn't about, you know, quitting 00:00:41.549 --> 00:00:43.149 your job tomorrow or ignoring responsibilities. 00:00:43.369 --> 00:00:45.530 That's not it at all. The core idea we found 00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:49.039 is much more about integration. Radical integration, 00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:51.939 actually. Taking the bits you love about a vacation, 00:00:52.299 --> 00:00:54.719 being present, the doing things you want to do, 00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.859 feeling aligned, and weaving that into your normal 00:00:56.859 --> 00:00:59.880 everyday routine. It's really a framework for 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.799 living intentionally, not escaping. Okay. Intentional 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.760 living, not escaping. I like that framing. So 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.319 to even start building this kind of life, the 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.459 first step is understanding, well, the difference 00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:11.760 between what feels good for a minute and what 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.790 actually nourishes you long term. Pleasure, like 00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:17.030 the sources define it, it's often about consuming 00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:19.150 something. You know, the quick hit from scrolling 00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:21.510 your feed, maybe a sugary snack, buying something 00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:23.870 new. It gives you that little dopamine spike, 00:01:24.030 --> 00:01:27.709 sure, but it fades fast. Burns out quick. Temporary 00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:31.069 fixes. Exactly. Whereas lasting joy, that happiness 00:01:31.069 --> 00:01:33.750 that actually sticks around. The research almost 00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:37.689 always comes from... creating something, contributing, 00:01:37.870 --> 00:01:40.549 or having deep connections. It's less about what 00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:43.390 you get and more about lining up what you do 00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:45.689 with your own internal compass, your values, 00:01:45.769 --> 00:01:48.170 your passions. That generates energy. It doesn't 00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:50.659 just use it up. That shift seems huge, though, 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.879 going from just consuming to creating or connecting. 00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:56.379 But identifying what actually aligns with you, 00:01:56.420 --> 00:01:58.379 that can feel a bit fuzzy, can't it? Especially 00:01:58.379 --> 00:02:00.239 if you're already feeling kind of burnt out. 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.519 How do you even start pinpointing those core 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.299 things like freedom or growth or creativity that 00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:07.480 should be guiding your day? Well, the approach 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.719 recommended is pretty practical, almost like 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.360 running an experiment on yourself. You need data. 00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:16.280 Instead of just thinking abstractly like, what 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.780 are my values? You start tracking moments. The 00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:22.419 joy journal idea is powerful because it makes 00:02:22.419 --> 00:02:25.080 you stop and actually notice. You write down 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.039 maybe for a week specific times you felt genuinely 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.219 energized or excited or just whole. You're basically 00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:35.639 looking for clues, patterns, what was going on 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.240 when you felt really alive. That data, that tells 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.159 you what your values really are in practice, 00:02:40.219 --> 00:02:42.199 not just what you think they ought to be. so 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.819 you're kind of reverse engineering happiness 00:02:43.819 --> 00:02:45.860 looking back at the times you weren't trying 00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:47.800 to get away from it all that makes sense that 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.699 gives you the building blocks exactly the raw 00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:51.580 material okay so once you've got a better sense 00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:53.979 of that fuel your passions your values the next 00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:56.990 step is What? Translating that into how tomorrow 00:02:56.990 --> 00:02:59.129 actually looks. Because most of us, let's be 00:02:59.129 --> 00:03:02.129 honest, we live reactively. Our schedule gets 00:03:02.129 --> 00:03:04.930 run by emails, notifications, whatever seems 00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:07.430 loudest at the moment. So this intentional design 00:03:07.430 --> 00:03:09.930 thing, it flips that completely. It really does. 00:03:10.150 --> 00:03:13.610 And the main tool for that planning is this visualize 00:03:13.610 --> 00:03:16.530 your perfect day exercise. You literally write 00:03:16.530 --> 00:03:20.409 it out hour by hour or block by block. And concluding 00:03:20.409 --> 00:03:25.370 work, yes, but also rest, creativity, play. Intentionally. 00:03:25.370 --> 00:03:27.770 But OK, that sounds great, but maybe a little. 00:03:28.980 --> 00:03:31.099 Idealistic. What about the real world stuff? 00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:33.139 Like what if you have three hours of meetings 00:03:33.139 --> 00:03:35.439 you have to be in or that commute you can't avoid? 00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:37.719 Yeah, that's a really fair point. It's easy to 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.919 imagine someone picturing mountain hikes and 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.800 then looking at their actual outlook calendar 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.879 full of back to back calls. Right. So how do 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.979 you bridge that gap? Did the sources offer something 00:03:46.979 --> 00:03:49.319 concrete for dealing with those non -negotiable 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.319 obligations? Oh, absolutely. Because you can't 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.039 bridge a gap if you don't know how wide it is. 00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:55.560 That's where the time audit comes in. It's super 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.939 practical. Before you change anything, you just. 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.280 track your time, like really track it for a few 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.620 days. Then you go back and mark each thing. Did 00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:06.479 this give me energy or did it drain me? Energizing 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.439 or draining. Got it. And the gap, the place where 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.800 you have leverage, it's almost always in those 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.139 small draining things we do just out of habit 00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:16.399 or obligation we maybe shouldn't have accepted. 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:19.060 The audit shows you exactly where you can start 00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:21.420 swapping things out. And I guess a lot of those 00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:23.220 draining things are tied up in commitments we 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:25.560 probably said yes to when we maybe should have 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.319 said no. Which leads right into simplifying things, 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.600 doesn't it? You can't really feel joyful if you're 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.680 surrounded by clutter, physical or mental. That's 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.839 a huge point in the sources. Simplicity isn't 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.379 just about, you know, tidying your desk. It's 00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:41.240 mental clutter, emotional clutter too. Every 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.680 half -finished project, every nagging obligation, 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.920 it takes up brain space, cognitive load. So reducing 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:52.160 that frees up energy, frees up focus, which lets 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.040 you actually be present and enjoy things more. 00:04:54.410 --> 00:04:56.569 And maybe the biggest tool for cutting down that 00:04:56.569 --> 00:04:59.649 emotional clutter is learning to say no politely, 00:04:59.709 --> 00:05:03.589 strategically, but still saying no. That feels 00:05:03.589 --> 00:05:05.529 easier said than done sometimes, though, you 00:05:05.529 --> 00:05:08.110 know, especially at work. Saying no can feel 00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:10.350 like you're not being a team player or worse. 00:05:10.430 --> 00:05:12.370 Is it really practical? It has to be applied 00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:14.810 strategically for sure. It's not about just saying 00:05:14.810 --> 00:05:16.709 no to everything. They suggested something called 00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:19.670 a commitment audit. You list out all your regular 00:05:19.670 --> 00:05:22.529 commitments, work tasks, social things, whatever. 00:05:23.069 --> 00:05:26.209 Then you rate them. say 1 to 10, based on how 00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:27.889 much they align with your values and how much 00:05:27.889 --> 00:05:30.350 energy they give you versus drain you. Anything 00:05:30.350 --> 00:05:32.949 that scores really low, like maybe below a 5, 00:05:33.129 --> 00:05:36.290 you need a plan. Can you eliminate it, delegate 00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:39.629 it, at least modify it somehow? Saying no isn't 00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:41.529 being difficult. It's actually a form of self 00:05:41.529 --> 00:05:43.790 -respect. It protects your energy, your most 00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:46.230 valuable resource, sends a signal that your time 00:05:46.230 --> 00:05:48.790 matters. Right, protecting your energy. Okay, 00:05:48.850 --> 00:05:51.230 so we've tackled the personal schedule, the clutter. 00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:53.709 But the elephant in the room is usually work, 00:05:53.769 --> 00:05:55.610 isn't it? It takes up most of our waking hours. 00:05:55.790 --> 00:05:58.589 And if that time feels like a total drag, this 00:05:58.589 --> 00:06:01.009 whole permanent vacation thing feels kind of 00:06:01.009 --> 00:06:03.189 impossible. So the goal has to be transforming 00:06:03.189 --> 00:06:06.730 work somehow into something that ideally gives 00:06:06.730 --> 00:06:08.670 you energy or at least aligns with your purpose. 00:06:08.949 --> 00:06:10.949 It really has to be part of the equation. You 00:06:10.949 --> 00:06:13.569 can't build a joyful life if the biggest chunk 00:06:13.569 --> 00:06:16.569 of it is something you dread. The sources push 00:06:16.569 --> 00:06:19.470 this purpose test. Asking yourself seriously. 00:06:20.170 --> 00:06:23.430 Does my work reflect my values? Am I growing 00:06:23.430 --> 00:06:26.269 here or just ticking boxes? And critically, it's 00:06:26.269 --> 00:06:28.069 not always about finding a whole new career. 00:06:28.149 --> 00:06:30.470 Sometimes it's about finding purpose within the 00:06:30.470 --> 00:06:33.089 job you already have. Okay, but let's get practical 00:06:33.089 --> 00:06:36.470 again. What if your job is, well, necessary for 00:06:36.470 --> 00:06:39.790 the paycheck, but it's fundamentally just transactional, 00:06:39.810 --> 00:06:42.149 like really repetitive data entry or something? 00:06:42.269 --> 00:06:44.089 How do you find purpose in that? Yeah, that's 00:06:44.089 --> 00:06:45.790 a common challenge. And that's where the focus 00:06:45.790 --> 00:06:48.490 shifts from overhauling the whole job to making 00:06:48.490 --> 00:06:51.269 smaller. targeted adjustments. One way is what 00:06:51.269 --> 00:06:53.769 they call career adjustment. Even in a mundane 00:06:53.769 --> 00:06:56.110 role, can you find a project, maybe volunteer 00:06:56.110 --> 00:06:58.149 for something slightly outside your description 00:06:58.149 --> 00:07:01.350 that taps into a passion? Maybe you value efficiency, 00:07:01.689 --> 00:07:03.829 so you take the initiative to streamline a clunky 00:07:03.829 --> 00:07:06.230 process, even if it's not officially your job. 00:07:06.670 --> 00:07:09.149 The data suggests that even getting like 20 % 00:07:09.149 --> 00:07:11.189 alignment, finding just a piece of your work 00:07:11.189 --> 00:07:13.410 that resonates, can make a huge difference to 00:07:13.410 --> 00:07:15.850 your overall energy and morale. Okay, so finding 00:07:15.850 --> 00:07:19.029 pockets of meaning. And if that's just not possible 00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:21.670 or not enough. Then you look outside the job. 00:07:22.089 --> 00:07:25.069 That's the passion project commitment. If your 00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:29.050 day job only gets you partway there, you intentionally 00:07:29.050 --> 00:07:32.230 block out time. Maybe it's just two hours every 00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:34.949 Saturday morning, but it's protected time for 00:07:34.949 --> 00:07:38.430 something you choose. Writing, coding, volunteering, 00:07:38.810 --> 00:07:41.910 painting, whatever lights you up. It provides 00:07:41.910 --> 00:07:44.290 that consistent dose of purpose and creativity 00:07:44.290 --> 00:07:47.110 so the demands of the job don't completely drain 00:07:47.110 --> 00:07:49.050 your battery. That makes sense. But even if the 00:07:49.050 --> 00:07:50.829 work is fulfilling, there's still the danger 00:07:50.829 --> 00:07:52.709 of burnout, right? Sometimes when you love what 00:07:52.709 --> 00:07:54.850 you do, you just do too much of it. You forget 00:07:54.850 --> 00:07:57.870 to rest. That is such a crucial point. It's where 00:07:57.870 --> 00:08:00.170 we shift from thinking about just managing time 00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:03.779 to managing energy. Highly effective, happy people 00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:05.959 focus on their energy levels. That's why time 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.519 blocking is so key. Not just scheduling work, 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.199 but scheduling your hardest, most brain -intensive 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.699 work for when your energy is naturally highest, 00:08:13.899 --> 00:08:16.339 usually the morning for most people. Right. Don't 00:08:16.339 --> 00:08:18.139 try to solve the world's problems at 4 p .m. 00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:20.379 on a Friday. Exactly. It's inefficient and frustrating. 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.939 And then there's protecting that time. We talked 00:08:22.939 --> 00:08:25.149 about saying no to others. But we also need to 00:08:25.149 --> 00:08:27.029 say no to ourselves sometimes. Like, no, I'm 00:08:27.029 --> 00:08:28.970 not going to check email again tonight. Precisely. 00:08:29.170 --> 00:08:31.709 Setting and really defending clear boundaries 00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:34.690 is non -negotiable for this whole thing to work 00:08:34.690 --> 00:08:37.629 long term. The sources directly linked strong 00:08:37.629 --> 00:08:40.450 boundaries to resilience, to sustained happiness. 00:08:41.029 --> 00:08:43.429 If work constantly bleeds into your personal 00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:45.789 life, you're just a road to rest and recovery. 00:08:46.029 --> 00:08:48.029 You need to keep that vacation feeling alive. 00:08:48.350 --> 00:08:51.490 Okay. Boundaries are key. Stepping back a bit 00:08:51.490 --> 00:08:54.250 now from just the schedule and the work, what 00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:56.269 about the environment around us, the space we 00:08:56.269 --> 00:08:58.190 live in, the stuff we consume, the people we 00:08:58.190 --> 00:09:00.710 interact with? That all impacts how we feel day 00:09:00.710 --> 00:09:03.269 to day too, right? Massively, yeah. Your physical 00:09:03.269 --> 00:09:06.990 space, the media you let in, and maybe most importantly, 00:09:07.090 --> 00:09:09.570 your relationships, they all constantly shape 00:09:09.570 --> 00:09:11.769 your emotional state. And this is where you kind 00:09:11.769 --> 00:09:14.070 of do an audit of the external world, the energy 00:09:14.070 --> 00:09:17.000 audit. It sounds a bit ruthless maybe, but it's 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.799 necessary. You list the people you spend time 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.080 with, the places you go, the news sites or social 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.399 feeds you check, and you honestly ask, does this 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.220 energize me or does it drain me? Energizing or 00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:29.179 draining again, okay. And the advice is pretty 00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:31.440 straightforward. Maximize the energizing stuff 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.940 and minimize or set firm boundaries around the 00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:37.379 draining stuff. Okay, curating your space seems 00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:39.460 doable. Declutters, add some plants, whatever 00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:42.259 makes you feel good. But... Relationships. That 00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:44.620 feels harder. What if it's like a close family 00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:47.200 member or a key colleague who is consistently 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.740 draining? You can't always just cut them out. 00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:52.100 What's the practical advice there? No, you often 00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:54.759 can't just cut them out. The practical move then 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.299 becomes about managing the exposure and your 00:09:57.299 --> 00:09:59.580 reaction. If you can't eliminate the source. 00:10:00.110 --> 00:10:02.450 You limit the time you spend. You manage the 00:10:02.450 --> 00:10:04.269 topics of conversation. Keep it light, maybe. 00:10:04.529 --> 00:10:06.870 You consciously protect your own energy before 00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:08.950 and after interacting with them. And you get 00:10:08.950 --> 00:10:10.389 really intentional about your digital spaces 00:10:10.389 --> 00:10:15.570 too. Unfollow, mute, curate aggressively. Any 00:10:15.570 --> 00:10:17.970 input that consistently makes you feel angry, 00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:21.120 anxious, or less than, that's got to go. It just 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.080 poisons the well. Right. Stop doom scrolling, 00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:25.379 basically. Right. Protect the input. OK, so that 00:10:25.379 --> 00:10:27.179 leads to the internal side of things, the mindset, 00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:30.679 resilience. If the goal is this sustainable joy, 00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:33.159 how do you handle the inevitable bad day, the 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.440 setback? How do you stop from just sliding back 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.399 into that feeling of just enduring? This is about 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.659 reframing. It's a classic technique, but really 00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:42.820 effective, according to the sources. When something 00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:45.299 challenging happens, instead of asking that kind 00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:47.480 of passive why me question. Which is easy to 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.379 do. Oh, totally. But the resilient mindset shifts 00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:53.139 it. It asks an active learning question. Okay, 00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:54.679 what is this trying to teach me? Or what can 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.740 I learn from this? Suddenly, a setback isn't 00:10:57.740 --> 00:11:00.820 just a failure. It's data. It's feedback pointing 00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:02.820 you in a new direction, maybe helping you get 00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:05.860 clearer on what you do want. It turns the challenge 00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:08.620 into a tool for growth. So it changes the definition 00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:11.179 of a bad day. It's not about pretending bad things 00:11:11.179 --> 00:11:14.360 don't happen, but changing how you process them. 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.240 Exactly. You change the lens. And to help make 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.019 that new lens stick, the sources really emphasize 00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:23.220 daily rituals. Joy isn't something you just find 00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:25.820 and then have forever. It needs practice, like 00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:28.539 a muscle. So simple, small, non -negotiable rituals 00:11:28.539 --> 00:11:30.940 become your anchors. Things like a morning mindset 00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:33.399 reset, just setting one simple intention for 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.080 the day. related to joy or presence. Just one 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.080 thing. Just one thing. Or an evening gratitude 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.899 pause before sleep, quickly noting one good thing, 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.379 one moment of beauty or success from the day. 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.940 It trains your brain to look for the positive. 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.259 And crucially, seeing things like play, self 00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:53.379 -care, even just leisure time. Not as rewards 00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:55.799 you earn after the hard work, but as essential 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.919 maintenance. Lifelines, really, that create that 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.600 sustainable rhythm of peace. Okay, so pulling 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.009 this all together. This blueprint for a life 00:12:04.009 --> 00:12:06.690 that feels more like a permanent vacation. It's 00:12:06.690 --> 00:12:08.490 not about waiting for some future event or buying 00:12:08.490 --> 00:12:11.470 a plane ticket. It's built day by day by consciously 00:12:11.470 --> 00:12:13.330 aligning your habits, your thinking, your work, 00:12:13.330 --> 00:12:15.450 your environment with what truly authentically 00:12:15.450 --> 00:12:17.429 brings you energy and joy. You're essentially 00:12:17.429 --> 00:12:19.350 creating a reality where peace and fulfillment 00:12:19.350 --> 00:12:21.950 aren't the exception. They're the default, the 00:12:21.950 --> 00:12:24.470 rhythm of your life. Beautifully put. And the 00:12:24.470 --> 00:12:26.750 best part is you can start right now. It doesn't 00:12:26.750 --> 00:12:29.049 require some huge upheaval tomorrow. It starts 00:12:29.049 --> 00:12:31.250 with one small choice today. Maybe it's blocking 00:12:31.250 --> 00:12:33.509 out 30 minutes for that passion project you keep 00:12:33.509 --> 00:12:35.850 putting off. Maybe it's just using that commitment 00:12:35.850 --> 00:12:39.389 audit idea to say no to one small draining thing 00:12:39.389 --> 00:12:41.750 on your calendar for next week. That's the beginning. 00:12:41.889 --> 00:12:43.950 Right. It begins with one step. And eventually, 00:12:44.029 --> 00:12:47.389 maybe the need to escape just disappears because 00:12:47.389 --> 00:12:49.950 the life you actually have feels compelling, 00:12:50.149 --> 00:12:53.570 full of purpose, full of wonder. So here's a 00:12:53.570 --> 00:12:56.200 final thought for you to chew on this week. If 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.419 a vacation is really about intentional presence 00:12:58.419 --> 00:13:02.179 and feeling free, what's one small, maybe currently 00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:04.419 draining part of your daily routine? Could be 00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:07.419 the commute, could be making dinner. That if 00:13:07.419 --> 00:13:09.559 you approached it with total presence and maybe 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.639 looked for the hidden purpose or learning in 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.840 it, could actually become a source of internal 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.840 freedom for you.
