EP 49: Be More Awkward & Give More Compliments

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.
