The Trouble with "Someday" Thinking: Why We Assume Our Best Life Is Still Ahead
Manage episode 417034226 series 3573083
In this episode of the School of Midlife podcast, we unpack the assumptions we often make about our own lives - that fulfillment, happiness, and living our best lives is something that will happen down the road.
In particular, the episode focuses on:
- How we assume we'll feel satisfied and accomplished once we get the next promotion, finish a big project, or our kids move out. But fulfillment comes from within, not external measures.
- Why we think we need to wait for the perfect time to focus on ourselves, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care. But there's no better time than right now.
- How we believe we have unlimited time to live the life we want later on. But none of us knows how much time we have left.
- Why we push off vacations, hobbies, and passions until after we lose those last 15 pounds or get in shape. But we deserve to enjoy life at every size and stage.
Stop waiting for your some distant "someday." Take steps to live your best life right now, while you have the chance.
