Summary

Dr. L says: Life is short. It’s important to get the most out of life that you can and dive into all the adventure and awesomeness that sits at your feet. AND it’s critical that along the way we are weaving in a layer of compassion when things don’t go our way. When we fail, fall short of our goals, or come up short against our expectations, yes, learn from that but also make sure that you are bringing in some humor and not weighing yourself down with criticism.

LESSONS: Weave self-compassion into various endeavors to ensure that you remain afloat. Make sure that you use humor to your advantage and don’t take life so seriously. Cut yourself some slack sometimes!

0:00.0	What's up, it's up Spartans, it's Dr. L here with Spartan Mind, your chief mindock.
0:09.6	So look, we're moving towards the end of January, and I guarantee there's a bunch of you out there who are listening
0:15.6	Who set these goals for yourself at the beginning of the year right so you set this goal that you're gonna wake up every morning and you were gonna train or you set a goal that you were going to wake up every morning and you were going to train.
0:23.4	Or you set a goal that every day you were going to journal or you set a goal that every night
0:28.4	you were going to read before bed and here we are. We're not even through the month of January and you have not
0:34.9	followed through with those goals. Well guess what? Who the
0:39.3	F. Cares? I mean this is life people we've got big things on our plate here and if you're not
0:45.4	meeting some of your goals you know what give yourself permission to just say you know what
0:50.1	that's all right I'll just do it next time. Or you know what? Maybe I don't even
0:54.0	want that goal. You've got to move through these things with a level of compassion and
0:59.0	sometimes a level of humor that's going to lift you up instead of weigh you down. Like I said
1:05.0	before there are serious things that happen in life. There are jobs, there's
1:09.1	family, there's friendships, there's relationships. If you haven't read every night before bed, you're
1:15.3	gonna survive. Life is gonna go on. If you haven't woken up every morning, tied
1:19.3	your shoes and gone for that three mile run, you know what? It's okay. Compassion people. You need to weave
1:25.3	that into your life so that you're not weighted down by this sense of failure. Yes, you
1:30.0	can learn stuff from it for sure. Let's think about why maybe you're not meeting those goals,
1:34.9	how maybe some of the goals you've set for yourself
1:36.9	you didn't want to do anyway.
1:38.3	You know, I can't tell you how many times I've said to myself,
1:41.5	this will be the week that I stopped drinking coffee. And then guess what?
