EP 212 - Take out the Trash The Switch
-
- Society & Culture
In this episode, Eric and I reunite "in the flesh" for the first time since before the COVID pandemic and what sparked our conversation? Forgetting to take out the trash. But it's not just about the literal act of forgetting to do this on a weekly basis to be in line with the city trash-pickup schedule. We dive deep into the metaphorical meaning of "taking out the trash" from our minds. How do we declutter our thoughts?
Switch-it-up Steps:
Recognize the Clutter: Just as we notice when the trash bin is full, we need to recognize when our minds are overwhelmed with negativity.
Meditate and Reflect: We discuss the power of meditation, drawing inspiration from renowned figures like Rick Rubin, known for his meditative practices. Checkout his interview with Andre 3000.
Find Your Rhythm: Just as J Balvin's "Niño de Medellín" documentary resonates with many, find what resonates with you and helps you declutter.
Actively Remove Negativity: It's not just about recognizing the negative thoughts but actively working to remove them.
References:
"The Boy from Medellín" by J Balvin: A documentary that encapsulates the essence of dealing with challenges and finding one's rhythm regardless of all the noise.
Rick Rubin interview with Andre 3000 on Broken Record podcast.
Join us as we navigate the process of mental decluttering, drawing from our everyday lives, and finding ways to keep our minds trash-free. Let's take out the trash, together.
