Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 122
Title: Decide Today
How You Want To Live
Still in the Spirit of the
New Year and discussing New Year Resolutions, today we are looking at the
Topic: Decide How You Want To Live in 2018.
This is a personal decision and rests squarely on your shoulders. Nobody
else will do it for you, so don't just think of passing the buck because it
won't work this time around. To decide for today, you would have had some form of
experience from yesterday to be able to know what worked and what did not work
and then enhance that which worked while polishing and fine tuning that which
did not work. If you decide to live a better life in 2018, then you have to do
the following:
1. Stop spending more on material goods than on
experiences.
Sure, it’s great to feel
pretty, handsome and sexy. A single compliment on your looks can make your
whole day.
However, you are not truly
deprived of anything material-wise. Save up for moments you will remember for
the rest of your life, exhilarating moments that make your heart pound and take
your breath away.
When you want something
enough, you’ll figure out how to prioritize and afford it.
2. Stop making up stories to make your life seem
more interesting than it actually is.
There is nothing glorious
about superficiality and there is nothing wrong with the mundane.
Just tell the truth — to
others and to yourself. Otherwise, you’ll fall for the false impression of
yourself and you'll believe you’re more worthy of complacency than you actually
are. Then, you too will lose track of what’s real and what’s not.
3. Stop being afraid to say "YES" to
more things.
Sitting around at home, on
the Internet is comfortable and familiar, but there are so many more
opportunities if you just show up.
Attend more meetings, sign
onto new projects, go out for the sake of it, explore a new place by yourself
and don’t be afraid to speak up.
Feeling passionate and
creative is so much better than feeling lethargic.
4. Stop beating yourself up for not having the
time to work out.
Also, stop making excuses
when you have plenty of time to get some exercise. If you feel like a blob on a
couch, your brain probably looks like a blob on the couch, too.
5. Stop hating yourself for eating dessert.
But also, stop eating
dessert just because you hate yourself. Chocolate may seem like an instant
remedy for all of your insecurities, but there are other, more productive ways
to deal with stress and emotions.
6. Stop scrolling through Twitter when you’re at
dinner with friends or Family.
Stop refreshing your news
feed when you’re at a party. Stop checking your notifications every time you go
out.
You will always be able to
catch up on social media, but you only have so long with the people you care
about.
7. Stop giving your time to frenemies and
surrounding yourself with people who won’t reciprocate feelings of love.
Stop allowing people who
think negatively of you to consume your energy; they don’t deserve it.
For starters, find friends
you can get to know on a sober level (there’s a thought!).
Make friends with people
who are interesting and interested in you, too.
8. Stop being so judgmental.
Consciously stop basing
first impressions on physical attractiveness. People are so much more than just
a Facebook photo or a profile view from afar. They might surprise you about how
beautiful they really are.
9. Stop revolving your every action on what
people may think.
Let’s not throw it back to
high school. If you think somebody is interesting or attractive, introduce
yourself and tell him or her about it.
If you want to join a new
friend group, club or project, don’t worry about the initial newbie
awkwardness.
Don’t refute your beliefs
or deny your values because others disagree with them.
Don’t look disinterested
or indifferent because you think it makes you seem cooler; it doesn’t. It only
makes you seem dispassionate, emotionless and boring.
10. Stop complaining about being constantly busy.
No one cares and no one
will pity you except for yourself. The pity party can only last so long before
it runs dry. The next time you’re idly procrastinating, remind yourself that
you are not so busy after all.
11. Stop overanalyzing everything. You will
suffer from Paralysis of Analysis
Some people will love you
and then will suddenly walk away without telling you what you did wrong.
Others may be fickle or
flaky in trying to figure out exactly what they want, but you do the same
thing. Why does every hookup need to be regretted? Why does every text,
like or favorite need to have an alternate meaning? Just relax. Just let
ambiguity… exist.
12. Stop erasing and regretting.
Write down ideas while
they are still fresh; take way too many unnecessary photos. You’re in
your 20s — live more while you can still call yourself young. You have
time to regret everything later. Or, simply don’t regret.
13. Stop being afraid to pursue the dream, no
matter how cliché it may sound.
You dream of writing
books, creating films, becoming a CEO or this Country’s President.
Why not let the desire to
make your dreams come true overpower your fears for reaching them?
14. Stop beating yourself up for not being your
100 percent best all of the time.
Self-improvement is a
gradual process. Self-discipline is important, but we all lose it once in
every while.
We all cut corners and
need vacations. Give yourself some leeway and then, get back on track
