EP 49: Be More Awkward & Give More Compliments

What this episode covers

What is life anyway? What makes life good? What brings us alive? Who said we need a 5 year plan anyway?  Today, I press record in a spontaneous moment of breaking patterns, unlearning perfection and tackle what’s top of mind for me.  Join me in this 7 minute podcast! Take aways:  - How the pressure we put on ourselves to create a meaningful/perfect life suffocates us and robs us of what life is here to show us - It’s a big deal to be alive on this planet  - How our phones take us elsewhere, never fully here in the moment - Be more awkward - Compliment people more - Pet more dogs who seem eager  - Relax into your life instead of trying to build an ideal life - Spark conversation with strangers in life  - When you can, make eye contact with strangers - it makes a big difference  - In a society that stresses autonomy and control, we may not have as much control as we think - Following the breadcrumbs help heighten attention to your needs and what the world is giving you Elisa Haggarty is a Conscious Leadership Coach and a cat mom who finds joy in noticing what’s beautiful and sharing it.
