MFM Mini - Stop Living Hour-to-Hour
i don't know who needs to hear this but for somebody this is gonna be a bit of a game changer i know it was for me the other day i was talking my trainer and i was running late to to our session and i get there and i'm slipping on my shoe we like kind of like you know trying to get it over my heel and i'm like oh man sorry i you know i had to do lunch from my daughter but then she spilled it everywhere and then we're cleaning it up and then she blah blah and then you know and then had a podcast this morning and you know i ran a little bit over so then i had this call with my boss blah blah blah blah i'm telling him all my excuses right of why just trying to say why i'm late when he goes bro i i i don't care if you're late but i don't want you to have a day like that i said oh you know you can't control all these things he goes well you can i go what do mean he goes well you can't control that your daughter is gonna spill the food or that your podcast gonna go over but you can you can you can control how you experience it and i go oh man here we go what what's what's the lesson and i was like you know i wasn't ready to hear it but he gave me some gold he goes let's just like listen to the way you were talking he goes and forget the words just listen to the the rhythm of it it was da this and then that the this and then that that's living like an itinerary like an agenda and when you do that it sucks the fun out of life you're doing this and that and this and then that well you're just rushing from one thing to the next and in doing so you're not really enjoying all these different experiences you're having this is a life you crafted and look at where we are look at your backyard look at this was workout we're about to do you're talking about what you're doing with your daughter or you're you have a podcast you have all these amazing things you created but then look at how you're treating them you're just you're treating them like a job you're treating them like a task for you're treating it like an agenda i said well what what do i do instead he goes stop living hour to hour and start living experience to experience what does that mean it's like don't think about life like okay at nine i gotta do this call and then ten i have to go here and then eleven i have to do this meeting in twelve we got to record and you know one pm i'm gonna do this because what happens is you're gonna start running late and then you're feeling like you're losing time you're just gonna constantly be focused on the time you don't have instead when you focus on experience to experience you say alright what's this experience right now right now i'm recording this podcast i'm putting out some wisdom into the world and i could just imagine people on the other side i can be hearing this and thinking you know what so true so true i'm a try that right like you know sounds like work for him a try for me and then after i'm done with this experience i'm gonna click stop and instead of thinking about what's the next thing i have to do what's the next thing i get to do what am i gonna i'm hungry what am i wanna eat i can eat leftovers overs in the fridge is that the experience i want man i'll maybe i'll cook something oh maybe i'll go try that place i saw yesterday yeah let me hop in call i wanna go have that experience and then when i'm in the car am i gonna focus on the traffic you know the the the the waiting the the heat or am i gonna say well what experience am gonna have here i'm my i'm gonna you know what every time i see somebody on the road i'm a try to get them to smile that's the experience i'm gonna have right now i'm gonna be just through my facial experience i'm gonna try to get them to smile or i'm gonna listen to music i'm gonna jam out that's the experience i'm choosing to have and so what that does when you start focusing on what experience do i want next you're like you're at you're at a you know a michelin star restaurant and you're ordering off the menu i'll have one of them i'll have one of these oh i want that experience give me that one too give me that dessert right that's what life feels like instead of living off the itinerary so this has been a pretty big game changer for me over the last month or so is get off of time everybody's worried about time worry about age worry about lack of time too busy too much forget time start focusing on i'm gonna go i'm gonna hop in my day instead of hopping from hour to hour i'm gonna hop from this experience to that experience and this experience or that experience and then in doing so you're gonna start to choose those experiences wisely and just start to savor those experiences and fully enjoy them when you do them and that makes you a happier person so try it out stop living out hour start living experience to experience hey my first million listeners this is steph from chu out if you've been a die hard my first million fan for while you
