Summary

Live in your season is one of the thirteen Lazy Genius principles I write about in my first book, The Lazy Genius Way, and fun fact: it was the hardest chapter to write. Even though I talk about contentment in that chapter, a theme we now cover quite often, I was still hanging on to the greatness train by my fingertips. In this episode, I’m going to share a few highlights about what it means to live in your season since we can always use a reminder, and I’m going to share how that personally looks in my own life years after releasing that first book.

0:00.0	Hi there. You're listening to the lazy genius podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi and I'm here to help you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. Today is episode 401. How to Live in your season without resenting it. Live in your season is one of the 13 lazy genius principles that I write about in my first book,
0:21.9	The Lazy Genius Way. And fun fact, it was the hardest chapter to write. Even though I talk
0:29.5	about contentment in that chapter, a theme we now cover quite often, I was still hanging on to
0:36.3	the greatness train by my fingertips. I wanted to be the
0:40.4	best at everything and I wanted every season to be amazing. Now, there were kernels of what we've
0:46.0	come to learn in the plan about ideals and integration in the lazy genius way. Like on page 70,
0:53.3	when I say, the situation isn't ideal, but ideal
0:57.7	isn't the goal. That's right, 2019, Kendra. But I was still on baby deer legs with my own
1:04.7	journey into compassionate time management. I still struggled fairly often to be content
1:10.8	where I was, mostly because I was going too fast
1:13.2	to pay attention, which meant when I wrote the live in your season chapter, I didn't have as
1:20.3	much muscle memory to believe the value of contentment. Saying things like, good is here right now and just be where you are.
1:29.7	It kind of felt trite. I felt a little bit like a fraud even sharing them because I knew I struggled
1:35.4	a lot with that particular principle. I know it was important, but it was so hard. And then COVID hit.
1:42.7	The Lazy Genius Way released in August of 2020 on the heels of a lockdown and with
1:48.3	social distancing and a lot of fear. And the chapter on living in your season was far and away
1:54.7	the most impactful to readers at the time and the one that just locked in for me personally. That principle was so
2:04.5	timely and made so much more sense during that odd, awful unknown season of the pandemic,
2:11.8	especially since we were all thrown into the deep end of what living in your season could mean
2:17.1	all at the
2:18.0	same time. I know for me, it just soaked into my marrow in a really beautiful way. And now living in my
2:26.8	season is a crucial, if not revered principle in my life. Whether you're the same way or you still
