Why Nostalgia & Anticipation Might Actually Be Dampening Our Happiness

16m · Build Your Alpha · 15 Jul 12:00

This week's episode focuses on being able to enjoy the present. How we all experience feelings of nostalgia and anticipation.  How those are both very real personal experiences and feelings that are important. However, we shouldn't allow those feelings to be the sole "decision maker" for our current decisions. We are not who we used to be anymore, and we don't know exactly who we are going to be in the the future. We only know who we are right now and we should appreciate that and the people, things, experiences that are a part of it.

Be Open To Receive & To Give

This week's episode of Build Your Alpha talks about how we all are told to live a fulfilling life that we have to give to others and bring them up with us. I feel that there is a negative perception around receiving from others though. However, if we allow ourselves to receive, not to take, opportunities when they are presented to us we have the ability to become the best we can be.

Boundaries - Set 'em & Stick to 'em

This week's episode of Build Your Alpha talks about the importance of not overextending yourself. That by saying yes to everything and not allowing yourself to say no to certain commitments that you're not able to be the best you can be, and therefore cannot give the best of yourself to those people and things that are most important to you. If our "cup is overflowing" then we will get to a point that we cannot give anymore, we cannot give what we don't have.

Find Your Tribe

This week's episode of Build Your Alpha talks about finding your tribe and how those closest to you can help you become the best version of yourself. It can take one person to change the world, but it takes a community to help that one man. As we go through life our priorities change and that means that at times our tribe will change, people will come and go throughout our lives. It's about keeping those that are the most positive in our lives around and building those relationships.
