Shownotes

Feeling satisfied--even when something isn't perfect--allows you to embrace a good-enough mentality. This week, Janine and Shannon discuss the importance of finding (and recognizing) satisfaction. Feeling satisfied doesn't lead to complacency--in fact, it's life enhancing.

Discussion topics include:

•Janine’s shocking (to Shannon) inability to tell a joke

• How feeling satisfied is an important aspect of a good-enough mentality

• Looking for places to feel satisfied without perfection

• Paying attention to what you can do instead of what you can’t do (and feeling satisfied with that)

• Shannon’s post-concussion challenges and how she is trying to feel satisfied with what she is able to do

• Gratitude vs satisfaction

• Setting yourself up to feel satisfied by putting the brakes on perfectionism

• Applying this concept to your task list (hint: include tasks instead of projects on your list and keep the list short)

• How being satisfied with less than perfect doesn’t make you complacent

• The fact that feeling satisfied can actually enhance your productivity

• How you can feel satisfied with something while also looking to improve it (which Janine is proving with her new yoga practice)

• Cultivating the habit of finding satisfaction in where you are, rather than waiting for satisfaction to find you
