Summary

Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog talks about why surrounding ourselves with good will help us feel good AND how over-planning kills the magic. Episode 1697: Surround Yourself With Good and That's How You Will Feel AND Over-Planning Kills Magic by Katie Ping Katie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety - and she knew she needed a change. Instead of creating a multi-layered plan on how to attain more peace, she started small - with a walking meditation practice. Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today - facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.

0:06.7	And over-planning, kills magic, both by Katy Ping of more of what matters blog.com,
0:13.0	and we're very own personal narrator, Justin Mollick, reading to you from some amazing blogs and books,
0:18.3	to help you optimize your life. Today's two posts come from Katy Ping, so let's get right to it,
0:24.0	as we optimize your life.
0:30.0	Surround yourself with good, and that's how you will feel, by Katy Ping of more of what matters blog.com.
0:37.8	There have been a few moments recently that I've just felt crummy. The magical thing about embarking
0:43.1	on a journey of positivity and happiness, and opening yourself up to the universe, and following
0:48.8	your dreams, and allowing yourself to grow, and just plain old blistening out on the joys of life,
0:54.9	is that I am not entirely free from the occasional not-so-good-day, negative feeling,
1:00.0	major disappointment, or impatient tendency. We are all humans, and humans experience a range of
1:06.8	emotions. It's how we handle those emotions that sends us into a space of happiness, or a space of
1:12.8	emptiness. The most beautiful part about reflecting on your actions, reactions, and patterns of thinking,
1:19.2	is that you are aware of your triggers. You better understand what causes your emotional distress,
1:24.5	what you fear, and what that fear does to your thought process. I'm aware that my high expectations
1:30.5	will hold me back from enjoying the little things, the big things, and the medium-sized things.
1:35.8	Therefore, I practice letting go of expectations by staying present, and accepting things for what
1:41.4	they are. Sometimes this translates to, I accept that powdered laundry soap was used on the
1:46.5	carpet to absorb odor instead of baking soda, and it's okay, and kind of smells amazing. I'm aware
