End of Year Musings and New Year Advice

In this episode:

Rather than having one large topic to discuss, Pam and Sarah have a free flowing conversation about changes they're working on making in the new year and advice for listeners. Also, Sarah shows her coaching ability by skillfully calling out when Pam's need for control shows up repeatedly. They discuss various topics related to mindfulness, meditation, budgeting, starting new things, and practicing generosity. They share insights and personal experiences, debunk misconceptions, and provide practical advice. The conversation emphasizes the importance of being present and embracing imperfection. They encourage listeners to start taking action, whether it's through small moments of mindfulness, canceling unnecessary subscriptions, or practicing generosity and kindness in daily life. Finally, Pam and Sarah discuss the importance of compliments and vulnerability in building connections. They discuss how bizarre it is that it feels so vulnerable to give compliments or share heartfelt sentiment. The conversation highlights the power of accepting compliments gracefully and using them as an opportunity to connect with others. It also emphasizes the practice of giving without expecting anything in return.

Takeaways:

Practice mindfulness and meditation to cultivate awareness and separate thoughts from oneself. Rather than trying to go on a restrictive budget in the new year, just start tracking your spending. Start doing the things you want to do without overthinking or seeking perfection. Practice generosity and kindness in daily life to bring joy and make a positive impact. Compliments can create strong connections between people when they are acknowledged and appreciated. Giving without expecting anything in return can lead to a greater sense of fulfillment and connection.
