Summary

The activities that we do most habitually create the deepest grooves in the mind. All that repetition gets us hooked on the behaviour––that could be a good thing, could be a bad thing. It depends on what the behaviour is.

Then there are the times in our lives when we bust out of habits and we do something new. What I’m interested in talking about is the motivation beneath the “new things” we try. Because sometimes it’s the ego pushing us to prove ourselves. And sometimes, it’s our Soul moving us toward real expansion.

In this episode, I’m talking about aversions + desire (they are mates.) And the drive to be a more conscious person by doing new things, versus, the ego’s compulsion to check off impressive sh*t on a bucket list.

0:00.0	I'm Danielle Laporte.
0:07.0	And essentially, this is a one-woman show about self-realization called With Love, Danielle.
0:15.0	I'll be talking about compassion, self-help fatigue, sex, joy, serving the world. This is about a spirituality that's
0:23.6	way more rock and roll than it is oppressive. I am not into making grand motivational promises,
0:30.3	but I can commit to showing up as fully, sincerely, authentically as possible with the intention of really alleviating suffering
0:41.3	and amplifying joy just for starters. It's about doing everything I can to help all of us feel
0:47.3	a little less crazy, a lot more full of possibility and clearly part of the solution.
1:00.9	Hello, friends.
1:04.2	Let's start with some hyper-motivational speak, shall we?
1:10.2	Crushing it, hacking it, excellence, excelling, striving, reaching the goal, proving it.
1:17.4	Proving it to who is what I want to say.
1:20.4	We are going to flip the script on the ego and talk about doing new things to expand instead of doing new things
1:33.1	to impress other people or doing new things to prove anything to your ego, to prove to
1:42.3	your ego that you're strong and you're capable. I'm talking about
1:45.1	doing new things from the heart on behalf of love. Here we go. Let me tell you about swimming.
1:55.9	So you may have heard me mention over the last year or so that I have become an ocean swimmer,
2:02.1	but let me be very specific about this.
2:05.7	By ocean swimming, I mean that I get in the ocean when it's cold enough in a way that,
2:10.9	like, it used to terrify me, and I kind of just splash around.
2:14.6	So I don't go far distance swimming, but I go farther than I've
2:18.5	ever gone when it's colder than I have ever wanted to swim. I live in the Pacific Northwest.
2:25.3	I don't swim in the fall in the winter because that's insanity. My partner does that. He's
