Stop Wasting Your Time (Let Them)

from The Inspired Athlete Hosted by Mike Brilla

Welcome to The Inspired Teacher Podcast! Today's episode was planned on a pretty special day—my oldest son turned 15, which has me feeling all the things. It's true what they say: "time flies," but you never really get it until you're watching your own kid grow up in the blink of an eye. And as I look around and realize this school year is three-quarters over—and that I'm wrapping up my 21st year in the classroom (seriously, what?!)—I've been thinking a lot about time, how we spend it, and how little of it we actually control. Inspired by the early chapters of Mel Robbins' new book The Let Them Theory, I want to share a powerful mindset shift that's already changing how I think about my time and energy. It's all about letting go—letting people think what they think, do what they do, and freeing ourselves from the exhausting habit of trying to manage the unmanageable. Because when we stop wasting energy on things outside of our control, we finally get to focus on what really matters. Let's talk about reclaiming your time, your energy, and your peace.
