The Secret to Feeling Successful Everyday
Managing Priorities and Vacation Anxiety
In this episode we discuss:
- How to adjust to taking vacations again and fully disconnecting from work. 
- How setting boundaries and communication relieve work-related vacation anxiety. 
- How focusing on one priority at a time makes you more present so you can bet better at what you’re doing in each moment. 
- How being present and mindful helps you enjoy your life more. 
- How asking “What do I want to remember about this time?” helps you focus on what matters. 
- How to feel accomplished every day without waiting for big wins. How to let go of the “I’ll be happy when…” mindset. 
- How to enjoy the process of working towards goals so you can be happy all the time, not just when you achieve something. 
- How to feel worthy of celebration every day. 
- How mindfulness can give you control over how you respond to a situation. Releasing the idea that you can control the future. 
- How goal setting isn’t counterproductive for being present and content. Intentionally focusing on what’s going well to counteract negativity bias. 
- How re-framing your goal to celebrate the effort rather than the result helps. How putting a limit on how much effort you put in sets you up for long-term success. 
- How hobbies can help you feel accomplished and how they help you get better at everything else you do.
