“Imagine if the hardest thing you have to do at your job was light and easy. Instead of dreading the year-end report you prepare for the leadership team, what if it felt light and easy? What if the budget you had to present at the sales conference was light and easy? What if standing on the scale was light and easy? What if the parent-teacher meeting for your high schooler was light and easy? Take anything challenging in your life and think what would happen if you retired the frustration you have about it and instead replaced it with a soundtrack that said “light and easy.” I scribbled those three words on a Post-it note and stuck it on the window I look out every day at my desk. From here on out, the writing process was going to be light and easy. That was the new soundtrack I was going to listen to.“
~Jon Acuff, Soundtracks:The Surprising Solution to Overthinking

I am really enjoying listening to this book, Jon is so funny too. I love this part about Light & Easy and thought I would use it to make today’s post easy.

Go read this book, especially if you are an overthinker. Even if you are not. It will give amazing mantras that you can tell yourself to move upward in life.
