Summary

Note from Kendra: This episode of The Lazy Genius Podcast was recorded before the majority of changes, postponements, cancelations and recommendations for social distancing due to covid-19 were enacted. Please know that I am thinking of the Lazy Genius community during these uncertain times. Be well.

Naming what you’re good at is a simple exercise in being kind to yourself. And to be a Lazy Genius, you need to do that! Your gifts and abilities and ways of seeing and being in the world are significant and have incredible meaning. And when you don’t name what those are, it’s like having a tool that you don’t use.

A Few Helpful Companion Links

I didn’t mention this specifically in the episode, but Laura Tremaine has an excellent episode exploring what you’re good at on her show 10 Things To Tell You.
If you’re not following me on Instagram, I’d love for you to join the party. We’re about to do something really fun where you can chime in about your favorite episodes of The Lazy Genius Podcast.

0:00.0	Hi, you're listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast.

0:47.9	to follow me over there again at the Lazy Genius.
0:52.2	Okay, naming what you're good at.
0:55.0	Why even ask this question?
0:56.9	Why would I even ask you to name what you're good at?
1:00.1	Because you're too hard on yourself about where you struggle.
1:03.8	And you likely pay very little attention to where you don't.
1:07.4	You don't necessarily name where you thrive and where you're gifted.
1:11.9	Because maybe it feels kind of self-centered to say that.
