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.
