Great post, Chris! So sorry to hear about the cracked rib - that's no fun at all. 😕
Loved the part about taking better breaks. I'm very much 'all or nothing' - so I'm either at full tilt or (and I don't want to admit this part) doing absolutely nothing. I have a constant yearning for that happy medium of plenty of productive time with proper breaks!
Oof, I'm so sorry about the injury—here's hoping for a very speedy recovery. ❤️🩹
I adore Tom and Kim's story, and it reminds me of a question I've tried to start asking myself more often. It's the opposite of the mental script described in the section about "The Expectation Effect" ("What if this goes wrong?!"). Instead, Tom and Kim seem to have asked themselves "Well, what if this goes right?"
Definitely a lovely question to ask ourselves more frequently—and sometimes it even ends up working out that way!

Thanks Rebecca! I'm the same way. I can't take breaks even when I know I should.

That is certainly a glass half full way of looking at it! I like that.
I hope your ribs are okay, Christopher! Prediction machines suck. You and Sue rule. And we always have to take the risk for love. xo
I am probably being dramatic that it's cracked. It's a little sore though but I can still take deep breaths.
Breathing is key. Pain sucks, no matter what. Hope you feel better fast. xo
Love the love story! ❤️❤️
It's great!
Thanks, Christopher. I just subscribed to Sue Deagle's Substack.
I think you'll like it. She's a great writer.
