537: An Anti-Anxiety Approach to the Holidays

537: An Anti-Anxiety Approach to the Holidays

What’s your bliss point? That’s the conversation I want to have with you as we go into the holiday season.

For me, feeling amazing during the holidays has as much to do with my mindset as it does to do with my choices. Probably even more. I used to go into the holidays with a ton of anxiety. I was worried about the food that would be available. I worried about overeating and I worried about restriction and missing out.

It didn’t work. I wasn’t happy. I wasn’t enjoying myself.

Now, I think about my bliss point. The intersection of enjoyment and feeling amazing.

This is actually a common marketing term!

bliss point is the amount of consumption that maximizes a customer’s satisfaction for a particular good or service. For example, the bliss point of ice cream might be one small bowl and the bliss point for travel might be one trip a month. A customer who exceeds their bliss point may feel stressed, unsatisfied or regretful. Bliss point is purely related to a customer’s needs and wants as opposed to budget. It has implications for product design, customer experience, diversification and pricing. (Simplicable.com)

As you go into a holiday, a family meal or even a weekend or evening out – what is the intersection of feeling great about your choices and fully enjoying yourself?

533: Simplify & Improve Your Decision Making In Any Moment

533: Simplify & Improve Your Decision Making In Any Moment

Too many of us stay busy doing things that don’t really matter. We live in a self-created vortex of tasks and work, rarely pausing to consider:

  • Is this necessary?
  • Is it working?
  • Is it improving my life?
  • Is the return on this worth the time and energy it requires?

I read something the other day that I’m certain will improve my relationships, my work-life and my health. Not surprisingly, it wasn’t about relationships or health; it was about real estate.

When rennovating homes, most people spend money where it doesn’t need to be spent. They aren’t disciplined in how they deploy their funds. To counteract this tendency, they’re taught to break down potential home improvements into the following categories:

  1. Necessary and increases value
  2. Unnecessary and increases value
  3. Necessary and does not increase value
  4. Unnecessary and does not increase value

In today’s episode of the podcast, we’re talking about the application of this practice to our task lists, our communication and our goals.

I hope you enjoy it!
