06 - Lazy

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. The word for today is lazy, and we’re actually going to throw this word into the trash bin. Labeling yourself or someone else as lazy doesn’t benefit anyone. Often, what looks like laziness is that person being mentally overwhelmed by pressures that you can’t see and, frankly, don’t know anything about. If you’ve ever tried the 5 why’s exercise, you might have found that even your own motivations are somewhat hidden from your conscious self. Today’s concrete challenge is to give someone the benefit of the doubt. In other words, assume good intentions with one person today. When you start to feel yourself getting angry or uncomfortable, remind yourself that the person has their own world that they’re dealing with. Go ahead and say, “When I start to feel upset (mumbled), I will tell myself that they are dealing with life the best they can (mumbled), and they’re not lazy or trying to hurt me (mumbled).” Let me know how it went at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
