127: Gratification Won't Be Enough To Last, You're Missing This

<p><em><strong>“Life doesn’t get less busy.”</strong></em></p> <p>If I’ve learned anything lately, it’s that if I don’t start doing the things that I enjoy, right here and right now, then I’m never going to do them. Quit using the “whens” as excuses. You know, the “Oh, I’ll do that WHEN this is finished, or WHEN the kids are away” etc. Life doesn’t slow down and it most definitely doesn’t stop. You – and only you – are the one who can fit in the fun things for yourself. Because even after your “whens” are accomplished, there will be another task waiting just around the corner. So let’s start fitting them in NOW!</p> <p><strong><em>“Stop postponing your joy.”</em></strong></p> <p>Life happens and there are definitely things that take priority over others, but keeping your soul happy must be at the top of your list if you’re looking for that everlasting gratification. I’m challenging you to start this week – a minimum of 45 minutes a week to do something that makes your soul smile. Follow that one thing that has been pulling at your heart strings. (For me, it’s my guitar…no pun intended.)</p> <p><em><strong>“The ones that say there’s no time to play are the ones who need to play the most.”</strong></em></p> <h3>In This Episode You Will Hear About:</h3> <ul> <li>Personal challenges</li> <li>Gratification</li> <li>Time Management</li> <li>Affirmations</li> <li>Gratitude</li> <li>Being Present</li> <li>Boundaries</li> <li>Bucket Lists</li> <li>Showing up</li> <li>Resistance</li> <li>Planning</li> <li>Playing</li> </ul> <h3>Resources:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.loriharder.com/body/online-workouts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">60-Day Workout Challenge at loriharder.com/workouts</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.loriharder.com/mind/the-bliss-habit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Bliss Habit online course</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">TED Talks</a></li> </ul> <p>Follow me on social media <span style= "text-decoration: under
