182. How To Be Awesome At Knowing When You Aren’t Tired… You’re BORED!
Today we are doing to unpack why we are tired.
Are we not sleeping enough? Not designing our schedule and routines so there is enough time for sleep and recovery?
OR is it not that we are actually tired… but maybe we just aren’t inspired by what we are doing on the day to day? Maybe we aren’t tired or lazy at all, maybe we just don’t have enough of what sets our soul on fire in the day-to-day.
If you catch yourself saying “I’m so tired” often… this podcast is for you! Let’s figure out WHY you are tired, and how to change it.
There are a few parts to this!
Why you are you tired?

How much are you doing that sets your soul on fire?
How many 10s are you getting in each day?
Keeping up with the Joneses. So many people are working for the house or the car, to impress other people that they don’t really care about.

The happiest people are the people that get to spend the most of the time doing the things they love with the people they love to do it with. That’s it. That’s the end game. Not the most money or the fanciest things.
Lindsay talks about accepting losing and learning to love losing because it means you’re out there is part of it.
And have ownership for everything.
When you’re in your zone and doing your thing, you aren’t scared.
Cheers to hacking your days so you are rested and motivated, not tired!
