Practicing flexibility & being spontaneous
from Children of Divorce · host Lydia Nathenson
I used to be the least spontaneous person I knew and now I find it hard to find someone who can match my level of random side quests! There's such a joy that comes from being spontaneous: unplanned meet-ups with friends, a new restaurant or food spot that you passed perchance and it ends up being your fav, a walk in a different direction that takes you to an undiscovered wooded area. You get it, the point is, being spontaneous allows for amazing discoveries! (and also very poor moments too, don't get me wrong...but we are focusing on the good here)Similarly, practicing flexibility is a life skill guys. We can't expect to go through life according to our rigid routine. I mean we can, it just won't be super enjoyable will it? Stop beating yourself up that you didn't do this at that time, and instead work towards adopting a mindset of adaptability. That's the real skill. It's not how often you do something, it's can you still do it when the world is upside down? You tell me.You guys have got this, and again, I never am pushing you to do anything. I know you try your hardest, I know life is hard, and I know it's always easier said than done. I'm just proud that you are trying, that you gave a self-help podcast a listen, and that you allowed yourself to think for a bit about your behaviours and patterns. It's never bad ok? You're never doing something wrong. You're just doing your best and that's all we can do :) I appreciate you guys so much!!XX Lydia‘Children of Divorce’ is available wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTubeFind me on TikTok & Instagram under @childrenofdivorcepod and @lydianathenson
