EPISODE 156 - How To Stay Sane Despite The State Of The World

Make Your Monday Awesome

On my Instagram this week, I asked you to ask me anything. By far the most common question - it came in various forms but the theme was always the same - How do I (we) maintain a level of happiness despite the current climate?

That’s what this podcast is about:

1) Stop doing list - I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, if I didn’t have a business, I would not own a smartphone or spend any of my time online.

Removing myself from anything toxic has always been step one, and the media, all of it, is nothing but toxic. It’s never been about the sharing of information it’s been about keeping your attention, and invoking fear works the best for keeping attention. Kreso and I have also made an agreement to hold ourselves accountable to not complaining and speaking about negative things.

2) Seeing my friends and family

3) Creativity - one of the best things about owning and having a business is that you always have to find ways to be creative. Creation gives you a sense of control which is the very opposite of what the world is trying to make you feel right now. Both of us dove headfirst into our business, I started studying Instagram and how to grow my audience and Kreso took up music and guitar seriously, not to mention time with our family.

4) Clarity - nothing like getting your values challenged every day, it makes you put things in perspective and gain clarity. Once you gain clarity, you know how to act.
