0:00.0	Hey 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's episode 416, What's Saving My Life? If you're new here, this is a favorite episode we do once a quarter. Barbara Brown Taylor, a fantastic author coined this phrase
0:22.9	years ago, what's saving my life? And I love the regular practice of taking note of what that
0:28.5	is for me. If you have read the plan, then you know that the letter N in plan stands for
0:35.9	notice. If we don't notice our lives, we can easily get wrapped up
0:40.0	in the preparation of our lives, which is the P in plan, or even in constantly adjusting
0:48.9	things so that they work, adjust is the A in plan, because we want things to work well, right?
0:55.6	But without noticing, without noticing what is alive, what is working, what is making life

1:28.9	saving my life right now in this particular season of life. And they as always are like quite
1:35.2	a smattering of unrelated things. You can take that as encouragement that your list, which I
1:41.9	highly encourage you to make one, doesn't have to be like all serious
1:46.1	or all meaningful or all whatever you think it's supposed to be. Like I have a cleanser on this
1:52.3	list. It's making my life magical in every way. So don't sleep on the small stuff. It's going to be
1:57.7	a mix and that's important because so is life, right? Okay, so let's jump
2:02.1	into the 10 things that are saving my life right now. The two, the first two of them are connected
2:07.4	to my faith and I'm going to put them at the top and put them together so that if you are not
2:12.0	into that today, that is not your vibe today, you are absolutely welcome to skip ahead a couple of
