DEATH WISH
On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into something we all might bump-up against: those little "death wish" moments in our lives where we're not taking the best care of ourselves.
It all started with a crazy motorcycle ride I witnessed on 93 North, where this kid was weaving in and out of traffic at 120 miles an hour - totally reckless and dangerous!
That got me thinking about how we all have our own versions of the ol’ "death wish.”
Maybe it's ignoring medical advice, continuing unhealthy habits, or not prioritizing our physical and mental well-being.
I'm talking about those choices we make that deep down we know aren't serving us.
Things like not managing chronic conditions, skipping out on exercise, eating like crap, not getting enough rest, or creating unnecessary financial stress.
The real heartbeat of this episode is about having self-awareness and then breaking those patterns.
We know that our brains love familiar territory, which is why changing habits can feel so tough. But here's the deal: we have more control than we think!
By understanding how our neural pathways work and making small, consistent changes, over time - we can actually rewire our brain and create healthier habits.
Pretty cool, right?
So, this is an invitation to hit pause and to take a look at the different buckets in your life.
Where are you playing it kinda’ loose? What small choices are you making now that might make a big impact on your long-term health and happiness down the road?
What buckets/areas could use a little bit more of your positive attention?
This isn't about judgment - it's about being curious and loving yourself enough to make better choices.
Remember, every tiny step counts, and you are totally worth the effort! xo
