WEBVTT - You are someone's after

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning, This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is that you are someone's after It's easy

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 1>to take aspects of our lives for granted, but remembering

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>how much of a goal parts of your life would

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>be for other people can make day to day life

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>feel a lot better. In a recent Before Breakfast episode,

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I talked about understanding your jealousy. Many of us have

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>certain kinds of social media posts that make us feel

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 1>worse than others. When we can nail down why that is,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we can make changes in our lives to address at

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>least some of these pain points. But as we think

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>about this, I think it's also worth asking why we're

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>more likely to compare up then compare down. We compare

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>ourselves to the mansions or fancy vacations of Instagram and

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>feel lacking. We don't compare ourselves to the billions of

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>people worldwide with far fewer resources. That may be human nature,

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't have to be a given. We also

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even need to think about obviously terrible situations like

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>war or famine to be reminded of how much we

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>have to be grateful for I am willing to bet

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that there is some aspect of your life that you

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think about much that would absolutely be a goal

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>for someone else. You are someone's after, the state they

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>are working hard to achieve. Per apps. For instance, you

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>are in the happy place of adding to your net worth.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not millions, but it is in the positive number territory.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>That is a goal for millions of people who are

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to get out of debt. You already are the

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>financial after, or maybe you are pretty happy with your job.

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>You like your coworkers, you get to work on interesting problems,

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>you have a reasonable work life balance, and you get

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>paid well. Wonderful. There are all sorts of people who

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>are spending years and enduring much anxiety as they try

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>to change careers to get to that same place of contentment.

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>You are already the career after, or maybe you exercise regularly.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>As such, you take certain things for granted, like being

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>able to run a mile or being able to touch

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>your toes. Plenty of people who are just starting out

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>on their fitness journeys would love to be there already.

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>This is true whether any of us look like the

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>photos in those traditional aftershots or not. The point is

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to think about your life and think about how many

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>good things don't really even register just because they are

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>so ingrained that they seem easy for many people. They

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>are not easy. When you remember that you are someone's after,

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you can approach daily life with a far more abundant

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>sense of gratitude. In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks
