In this episode, we talk about how we view priorities. This is something we’ve mentioned before in previous episodes, and we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to this concept.

The word is “Priority”, being singular, which means that there can only be ONE most important thing.

It wasn't until the 20th century that the concept was pluralized into "priorities." The shift reflects a change in thinking, from the understanding that one could only have a single 'first' thing to the modern idea that several 'first' things can be juggled simultaneously. Yet, this modern interpretation also reveals a paradox; if many things are 'first,' the essential meaning of 'prior'—to be before something else—is diluted.

— Jeff Kays, from this article, which is really good!

There are a few tried-and-true methods that can help sort priorities. One of the most famous is the Eisenhower Matrix, where you break tasks into four categories:

1. Urgent and important (do these first)

2. Important but not urgent (it might seem like urgent would come first but actually doing what is important should come first)

3. Urgent but not important (urgent to whom? How urgent?)

4. Neither urgent nor important (why even do these? Are they must-dos? Can you get rid of or outsource them?)

Psychologist Dr. Susan David, whom we are loving right now, is an award-winning Harvard Medical School psychologist and named one of the world's most influential management thinkers. She calls this “emotional agility”, which she has written a book about, so check that out. And BTW, there’s an emotional agility quiz on her site, you know we are all about that. (https://www.susandavid.com/quiz/) This is about letting your values—not your calendar—guide your choices. That way, even if your day is full, it’s full of things that mean something.

Three questions to ask yourself to determine your day’s priorities:

• What’s urgent AND important?

• What’s just noise?

• What would help me breathe better if it was done first?

  
  

Try setting ONE priority at a time and then be fully present for that.

We saw a little trick recently, that if you have trouble saying no, make a punch card for yourself and for every time you say no to something that doesn’t align, punch the card and then after 10 get yourself a little treat.

Here’s the link to download our punch card! Cause we all love little treats, let’s be real.

“When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.”

“A person with a priority does what matters, while a person without a priority does what is urgent.” — Anastasia Mudrova

In this episode, we are going to talk about getting out of our comfort zone! Whether it is something big, like moving to a new city, or small, like driving a different route to work, we think the fact that you tried anything is impressive! ⁠

We talk about taking small steps in our manifestation episode and how that can make a big difference, and the same could go for stepping out of our comfort zone. Start small and do something like drive a different route to your favorite coffee shop. Mixing up the routine can often be hard for people so just switching one little thing can help you get comfortable with bigger things in the future. It can help you be more adaptable, too.

When things aren’t necessarily going great, you can shift without too much stress because you know there are lots of paths to the same destination.

In this episode, we talk about the mental load and household management. We get into how we each manage our households and what that looks like with our families. We also touch on kids’ chores, activities, and expectations.

The mental load is described as “the often invisible cognitive and emotional labor involved in managing a household and family, including planning, scheduling, and remembering tasks. It's the work of anticipating needs, making decisions, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.”

We came up with 5 ways that can help you lighten the mental load!

1. Family Planning Meetings

2. Visible To-Do Lists

3. Delegate Ownership, Not Just Tasks

4. Celebrate Small Wins

5. Model Asking for Help

Remember, you’re not weak for asking for help; you’re wise.

We love talking manifestation so much and had a lot to say about it, we decided to do a part 2!

This time we get a little more into the science behind manifesting and how it’s not only a fun thing to do but also proven to help reduce stress, build confidence, and give people a sense of purpose. There is a big tie between manifesting and nervous system regulation. They go hand in hand because knowing that you are aligned with the universe in your goals and trusting the process will allow your body and brain to take a breather allowing it space to regulate.

One thing we mention to help get you to a place of least resistance to manifesting is box breathing. The process here is to breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4 seconds, out for 4, and then hold again for 4. After a couple rounds of this your body will calm and allow you to be in a place where you can envision the future you want.

Carly mentions the Quantum Theory, which was hinted at above. The theory is that we are all the same energy, and when we are aligned with the universe, things work together to make our goals become reality. It is similar to the power of positive thinking but with a giant universe-size force behind it.

Ask, believe, work, receive.
