Summary

It's easy to get caught in the "escape cycle"—work hard, feel suffocated, escape on vacation, crash, and then repeat. Vacations give us a quick boost, but they also disrupt our habits, the happiness fades fast, and what we’re really craving—connection, rest, joy, adventure—often goes unmet. In this episode, I unpack why vacations only sort of work and help you ask the deeper question: do I really need another trip, or do I need more balance in my everyday life?

Episode Description

It's easy to get caught in the "escape cycle"—work hard, feel suffocated, escape on vacation, crash, and then repeat. Vacations give us a quick boost, but they also disrupt our habits, the happiness fades fast, and what we’re really craving—connection, rest, joy, adventure—often goes unmet.

In this episode, I unpack why vacations only sort of work and help you ask the deeper question: do I really need another trip, or do I need more balance in my everyday life?

This is why I’m launching my new Time Management course this September—to help you build a pace of life you don’t need to escape from.

The Daily Practice Platt Park Church The Daily Practice: a devotional tool from Platt Park Church for developing the habit of daily time with GodLearning to love God takes practice. Just like exercising a muscle, our hearts are trained to love from the bottom up, through the formation of our habits and practices. Discipleship is about curating our hearts to love God and the things that God loves. Forces of our culture train us to love things other than God all the time, but spiritual practices help us to be attentive and intentional about what my heart really loves and desires. Following Jesus is more a matter of hungering and thirsting than of knowing and believing and it is our habit forming practices that form our desires over time. May this daily practice tune your heart to sing His praise. Smoke Assist Smoke Assist Smoke Assist is a highly acclaimed product that is enabling people who smoke to appreciate their own dependency without being subjected to the various damaging results that go hand in hand with classic cigarette smoking. The Smoke Assist e-cigarette has been made to mimic, along with simulate, the traditional cigarette and the linked cigarette smoking experience. Actually, Smoke Assist boasts a genuine tobacco flavor- along with the real looking look of second hand smoke(harmless water vapor) being emitted off the end of the electronic cigarette & with each breath. Such a overly real looking semblance acts to reinforce the way which the brain perceives the simulated smoking experience & actually aids the phsychological process of transitioning to a more healthy way of undertaking the habit.
