Acceptable Madness

Love and depression are like potato chips and chocolate; they seem like they shouldn't go together but they're actually a magical combination. Huh? Only I like chocolate-covered potato chips and most people think it's weird? Oh... the more you know I guess. What I mean is that love and depression, although many people would think they don't mesh, they actually do and in a perfect, weird kind of way. Even though you might not feel love in the traditional sense - full of hearts and smiles fluttering across your face - I'm sure you feel it in different ways. No matter how you feel love and other strong emotions that are special to you, just know that they're real, they matter, and even if you feel emotions differently than some others, it doesn't mean you're an unfeeling robot. I can say that with confidence because I am a recovering unfeeling robot. Listen to this episode of the podcast to learn more about my thoughts on how depression affects love in your everyday life. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

There are so many things in the world that we are amazing at, average at, and terrible at. Now, I like to focus on the things that I'm amazing at, and I'm sure you do too (and I'm sure there are a lot of things that you're amazing at,) but no matter if you're great at something or awful at it, there is always the chance that you'll fall short. Whether it's a test that you thought you got a 100% on but you actually got a B, or you were working on a project at work that didn't go as planned, we'll occasionally fall short. For the longest time, I couldn't get passed that and would hold myself to the unrealistic task of being perfect all the time, but I've recently had a change of mind. In this episode, I talk about how it's okay to fall short on things, and it can actually be something that really helps you figure out what you are good at, and how to prioritize your time. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

Hi! I hope you're ready to sit back and relax while we talk about the future. A friend of mine recently told me that to feel better about the world and their current situation, they just stopped thinking about the future, and instead focused entirely on the present. That inspired me to make this episode, where I really dive into how I look at the future, how it's probably not the most productive way to do it, but how I'm hoping to change my mindset to be a more happy individual. The future can always look scary, especially when you have so many things that you hope to accomplish in life, but taking it one step at a time, knowing that what you're doing is the best thing for you in the moment, is probably the best way to fend off those fears.

Past Scott would beat me up for this episode, but I have to admit that education is awesome. No matter why you learn, whether it's to become better in your field of expertise, beat someone in trivia, or develop a higher sense of understanding in the world, learning is great. It's an amazing way to show and feel personal growth, while also seeing the world in a way that you may not have considered before. I used to hate school and dreaded going to class every day to see people there that were smarter than me, but now, I crave learning and think that furthering your education, no matter the medium, is a valuable, life-changing experience. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

Okay, hear me out with this one. No one likes deadlines, I know. At work or school, they stress you out. If you miss one, it can feel very defeating. But dang, when you accomplish whatever deadline you have, it feels pretty good. That's what this episode is all about! Setting realistic deadlines for yourself is a great way to give yourself a reason to get out of bed and do something. In the past, I've talked about setting the goal of simply getting out of bed and showering, and although that is a worthwhile and very difficult goal on some days, it's important to have other things that keep kicking you in the butt to keep moving forward, too. If you don't you might not be able to find a way to move beyond simply getting up and showering. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.
