Getting rid of the word "just" from our vocabulary

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Twice a year, my partner and I go to Florida to visit his parents. We typically stay for a week, and there's always a lot of food, drink and relaxing.

I enjoy going, but my expectations are always out of alignment with reality.

I expect to be able to do all of the things I usually do (like keep up with my exercise routine).

But inevitably, I fall short. They don't have the same space or equipment. Our schedule is different there than it is at home.

Many mornings, I'll go for a 2-3 mile walk.

You'd think that a walk would be a great compromise — where I'm able to enjoy beautiful weather, spend time outside and either catch up with my partner if we walk together or learn something new while listening to a juicy podcast episode if I walk alone.

But every single time I take one of those walks, I feel bad that I'm "just" walking.

Honestly, it's ridiculous. This is something I need to work on.

How about you? Are you using the word "just" in your life or business? Is there a way you can reframe the situation?

Best,
Rene

Hey Reader, A few months ago I went to the store to buy some new mascara. I've been wearing the same kind for years, but don't need to buy it very often because it lasts me a long time. The salesperson took me over to the section and said, you don't want waterproof mascara (which is what I usually get). You want the regular mascara. So I picked up the regular mascara, checked out and went about life. In the subsequent weeks, I realized why I don't buy regular mascara. I'm a business owner, in...

Hey Reader, Every year my son's high school marching band takes a trip and marches in a parade out of town. The band keeps the kids super busy for the duration of the 5-day trip. The kids went to Disney (Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom) plus Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach at the beginning of March. It's an exhausting (but fun) trip. When he got home, he opened his computer, saw how much work he had to do, immediately got overwhelmed, closed the computer and went to sleep. 😑...
