Life can be a grind and sleepwalking through the days can make for a less than epic life. We chat about how monotony is a revel killer, finding pleasure in your day, and a few tools for romancing the ordinary. Ultimately, we want to lead the lives we desire to live instead of our lives leading us.
In this episode:
• We establish that Misty loves romance and likes fancy.
• Bringing meaning to the mundane means treating your day with a certain amount of respect and infusing it with special.
• Misty shares how she was inspired to ditch the paper plate mentality but lets it slip that she ate off a paper sack earlier in the evening.
• You learn how Lola has picked up the torch for romancing the ordinary.
• Randy mumbles, Misty misunderstands, and they both have a BIG laugh.
• We share how we stay engaged at the family dinner table and Misty’s strategy for Truth or Dare.
• Sometimes you don’t realize the beauty of the moment until it is over. We ponder romancing the ordinary in the past tense.
• Randy espouses special hot dog pictures.
• We marvel at the power of photography as a tool to romance the ordinary and diffuse anger, too.
• Personal passion projects are essential for keeping your work fresh and staying inspired.
• Misty shares a tool she uses to make sure her days are made up of how she want to spend her life.
• Changing thought patterns through being mindful, present, aware, and even a little bit of pain.*
• Randy utters blasphemy in the Bradley household. Who wants to get up at 5am????
• Randy’s coworkers know where to find him when he goes missing.
• Everything has value, we have to decide what is MOST important to us and be intentional about prioritizing what’s on our plate.
• We agree on one thing that would make us feel glorious right now. It might have something to do with romancing the ordinary by escaping it.
• Misty has a love affair with a city she has never visited.
• Sometimes you romance the ordinary by embracing it. We discuss the movie that makes us better people by teaching us how to do that.
