You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast. Episode 98, Laser Focus.

Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based,

trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn. This approach has been revolutionary

and changed thousands and thousands of lives. I'm your host,

Sarah Brewer. Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast this week. Man, can you believe it's already

November? Let's see, when this is released, what is Thanksgiving going to be over? I think so. Geez, yeah, it's

mid-November at the time I'm recording this. It's gone by fast. This fall has gone by really

fast for me. Yeah, I hope you all are just really enjoying this time that you're able to be really

present and find just joy and contentment wherever you're at.

I remember reading an article about the Christmas season a little while ago,

and the main topic of the article was just being still and just allowing yourself to be still

and to stop the hustle and to stop the constant

trying to be better and better and better and just be still and let yourself sit in contentment

and peace and whatever your religious beliefs are, you know, for those of you who celebrate Christmas,

letting yourself sit in that beauty that is Christ and just sit there and just be enough exactly how you are.

So I don't know, I hope we're all cultivating that and creating more of that in our life.

There's another quote I've been thinking about a lot lately.

I don't know who said it or where I heard it. I just remembered it. Does that happen to anyone else?

The idea is my current goal is only in service of the next goal. Like once I accomplish this goal,

then there's another goal. And then once I accomplish this goal, then there's another goal. And then once I accomplish that goal, then there's another goal. And these goals are just in service of the next goal.

We think that once we accomplish things, we're going to be happier. Once we finally lose the

weight, we're going to be happier. Once we finally get the job, we're going to be happier. Once we finally make the money, we're going to be happier once we finally get the job. We're going to be happier.
