| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3,155 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and here you are at day |
| 0:12.0 | four of this week's series. you are being guided in a series titled The Art of Enough and this is an important series because it helps you focus on what matters most |
| 0:26.9 | in your life and how you are living your life. This is a meditation series focused on the book 4,000 weeks by Oliver Berkman. |
| 0:41.3 | And in today's episode you're going to explore a little insight from the book and then I'll guide you in a meditation to find strength within your limits. |
| 0:59.5 | And I heard from a fellow meditator who reached out to me on my sip and on Instagram and you can |
| 1:07.4 | reach out to me there as well. This listener shared how he felt like he did not want to limit himself in any way. |
| 1:18.8 | He wanted to embrace every opportunity that comes his way because he's not really sure as to |
| 1:27.1 | whether or not he would really enjoy a particular opportunity and he doesn't want to miss out. |
| 1:35.0 | And that FOMO or fear of missing out can hijack you. |
| 1:41.0 | When you make deliberate choices, and this is what Berkman shares in his book these choices lessen |
| 1:50.8 | the fear of missing out because you know you've intentionally selected your |
| 1:57.4 | path and this gives you peace of mind and I like to compare this to when you go on to let's say Netflix and you want to watch a movie and you have a movie in mind or maybe a category of movie in mind and when you go on to Netflix |
| 2:16.2 | you are struck by all the choices you have and there are cliffhangers of excerpts from movies that you |
| 2:28.9 | never would have even thought of watching. You see the preview and that intrigues you, |
| 2:35.3 | so all your senses become engaged. |
| 2:39.0 | Well, when you live your life with a sense of finitude, the concept that time is finite, |
| 2:49.8 | you're better able to prioritize your choices. |
| 2:55.0 | With limited time, you recognize that every choice is a trade-off. |
| 3:01.0 | If you watch this one movie that you really were not interested in watching, |
| 3:06.7 | you allow yourself to go on other people's agenda and you may not ever watch that movie that you had intended to watch. |
| 3:16.1 | So by consciously deciding what matters most, you actually focus your energy on activities and people that bring you joy and fulfillment. |
| 3:30.0 | Also, there's a sense of personal agency when you consciously make choices, and when you make a choice that eliminates other choices you could have pursued. |
