Summary

We will learn: How constantly chasing thrills might actually be stealing your joy How to scientifically tailor social and leisure activities for maximum joy without burnout. A few more secret hacks for everyday happiness What are you waiting for? What do you keep telling yourself you’ll start when you’re ready. Or when the time is right? Or when the path becomes clear? You can’t tell yourself that other things are more important, without also telling yourself that your desires are less important. And if YOUR natural god-given desires are less important, you’re saying your interest in something is not worth the focus in this moment in time. Changing that mental roadblock is one of the most effective things you can do to change your life. So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Jodi Wellman. She is a speaker, author, and facilitator, and she helps her clients live squander-free lives while they’re lucky enough to still be above ground. She named her business Four Thousand Mondays because it shines the light on the finite number of weeks we have to live like we mean it. Her new book is called, "You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets." Jodi’s TEDx talk is called How Death Can Bring You Back to Life; with over 1.3 million views, it is the 14th most-watched TEDx talk released in 2022, out of 15,900!

0:09.0	What are you waiting for? What do you keep telling yourself that you'll start when you're
0:14.0	ready or when the time is right or when the path becomes clear? I'll give you a
0:19.0	moment until that thing for you becomes obvious., now I have another question.

0:28.0	How long have you been putting off that dream,
0:31.0	or that change, or whatever it is for you.
0:35.0	Are you ready for my final question?
0:38.0	How far along would you be if you had started the first time you thought about it, even if you just had the idea
0:45.0	for the first time six months ago, and you only worked on it a half hour a day, you'd
