S03 E07 - Despite Being Great The Last Two Weeks Have Sucked
Просмотров 36210 месяцев назад
They can't all be highs, but what do you do when your best weeks somehow feel like the worst? I hit some real walls this last month, especially in the last couple of weeks, and I haven't had a good chance to share about why. At the same time, there are so many great things happening and so much to be grateful for. Life is downright confusing sometimes. For me it serves as a good reminder that l...

Matt Jordan is a great friend I've had the pleasure of knowing for the last few years, with whom I just returned from a five day trip to Lapland (Finland) with a group of ten friends to celebrate his birthday.

    Wow Wonderful Video. All the videos on your channel are fantastic. But your video views are lower. Because your optimization is very poor. Your optimization needs to improve as soon as possible. Thank you 💖

    Interesting about the mites in that hard cheese! I recently learned that most commercially grown figs are pollinated by female wasps and the figs may have a decomposed wasp converted into a protein.

    You're great at being totally transparent about who you are and what you're going through, which has helped me get through rough spots. I like how you talked about leaning into it. Be present in what you can do in that moment. We've been following and supporting you on Patreon for years now and have really enjoyed your content. It's like, hey, what's Jay been up to? Good stuff!

      I just watched this again because I wanted to get more insight into Jess for something I'm developing. I found your discussion on the coaching Master Yota gave you on what you coined "aspirational limitations" very enlightening. I'm a creative and am learning to lean into my strengths and let go of the negative thoughts and reactions, thanks to the Universe bringing me insights like this. Thanks! 👍 😊

    I literally spent the first 4 hours of today making a massive notion database of all the reasons I want to quit RUclips to help me get the courage to do so, even though it's my main source of income. I'm only 8 minutes into this video and I'm feeling it 200%

    Thank you for sharing Jay and for your transparency. So many of us can identify with this. Kudos to you for doing the work to get healthy and happy ... I'm on a similar journey and I think the most important thing I'm learning is that there are things I can do to improve my happiness level. Are you aware of the work Arthur Brooks is doing on happiness? He has a number of You Tube interviews on the topic and just released a book co-written with Oprah. He is a 'happiness expert' from a social sciences perspective. You might check him out if you're interested. Thanks again! Your Patron, Jeff Slaughter

    Déjà servi à la table des empereurs romains, le Banon fermier est un fromage de chèvre provençal enveloppé dans des feuilles de châtaigniers brunes trempées dans l'eau de vie, liées par un brin de raphia. La migration des tanins de la feuille vers le fromage lui donne un goût unique. Le Banon fermier est un fromage d'exception alliant moelleux et caractère.

    I heard Sting give an interview once saying that he would rather play his music for a small core audience singing what he was interested in and loved rather than worry about filling up seats at huge indoor venues just to play top 40 hits that don't resonate with him.
