    5 Regrets of the dying: How working from anywhere helps you avoid a life of regret | BC Classics

    This week Jeff and Marisa talked about the five big regrets of the dying. Morbid sounding? It's not... This is all about learning from people who had wished they had lived life another way. You can take these lessons and apply them to your life right now, before it's too late. Here are the things they talked about: 💫 “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself.”Too many of us follow blueprints built by others. Here’s how to start listening to your own voice instead of the world’s. 💼 “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”The grind feels like a flex, until it’s not. We dig into what “enough” really looks like and how to create a life where you don't need to feel like you have to distract yourself with work accomplishments. 💬 “I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.”Unspoken feelings turn into resentment towards yourself and others. How honesty, even when it hurts you and others, leads to deeper connection and peace. 🤝 “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.”Life gets busy, but relationships are what it's all about. Simple ways to rekindle old bonds and keep your people close no matter where you are. 😊 “I wish I had let myself be happier.”We talk about permission to feel okay with yourself, being present, and the little choices that build a lighter life.

    Does becoming a digital nomad make you happier? | BC Classics

    Most people who become digital nomads are looking for more from life. Whether it's seeking more freedom in life in their lives, cultural experiences, adventure, community, or checking new locations off their bucket list, everyone became a digital nomad with some sort of goal. Usually, "becoming happier" in life isn't a primary goal. But, it tends to be a surprising byproduct. There was a statistic published that stated within one year of moving to a different location your happiness can double. And this statistic was just meant to explain a person's potential for improved quality of life when moving somewhere full-time, rather than nomadic. In this episode, Jeff and Marisa discuss some very surprising ways that becoming a digital nomad can directly and indirectly impact you mood and sense of wellbeing. The fastest and easiest way to become a digital nomad is to get a job with a company that lets you work from anywhere. If you're still searching for one, check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Beach Commute Atlas⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—a human vetted hub with legit WFA jobs and tools. ----------------------------------------- This episode is for educational and informational purposes only.
