   Emotions | recognize your soul limits to sustain long-term health

   It’s easy to hit your stress ceiling when it comes to the realm of emotions. And, whereas we can’t expect perfection from the people around us (nor from ourselves), we can create margin so that we can handle the oncoming trials and needs with greater ease. In this episode of Advance-cast, we talk about emotional margin— and often-overlooked area of living well. +++++ 🚌 Join the waitlist at www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14 (http://www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14) 🎧 Audiobook +eBook at no cost = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY) 💜 Grab Andy’s “best of Soul Wholeness” audio course, free, at www.Jenkins.tv/best (http://www.Jenkins.tv/best)

   Money | don’t confuse standard of living with quality of life

   The top two stressors in relationships, according to most experts and therapists, are sex and money. When it comes to finances, we have a lot of strange ideas… For instance, 💰We buy things we don’t need 💰We readily embrace debt 💰We confuse “standard of living” (read: nicer stuff) with “quality of life.” The last one on the list is the we land on this episode… Never, ever, confuser “nicer stuff” with a “nicer life.” Sure, we want to use quality items, and we want to do high-caliber work… But, we want to be wise, especially when it comes to cash. ++++++ 🚌 Join the waitlist at www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14 (http://www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14) 🎧 Audiobook +eBook at no cost = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY)

   Time | there’s always enough time do do what should be done…

   There’s never enough time to do everything that COULD be done, but there’s always MORE THAN enough time to do what SHOULD be done. The problem is… well… we tend to fill every bit of space with SOMETHING. Throughout the Bible, God set an intentional buffer of rhythm, of pausing to take sacred space each week to step back, cease living by the false urgency of time, and step into the rest of eternity. Yes, He invites us to do that during this present life… now. In this episode of Advance-cast we discuss how to manage the grind of daily life without getting ground down. ++++++ 🚌 Join the waitlist at www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14 (http://www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14) 🎧 Audiobook +eBook at no cost = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY)

   Margin | space between what’s required and what’s available

   Margin is the buffer between what you have and what’s required to get something done. It’s the edge. The space. The gap between what you have and what you need. When there’s little margin, we hit our stress ceiling… When there’s a lack of margin, well, it might— or might not— show we’re not stewarding our resources well. In this episode of Advance-cast we begin a new 4-talk series and talk about the importance of creating margin in your time, with your money, and in your emotions… +++++++++ 🚌 Join the waitlist at www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14 (http://www.EatSleepAdvance.com/14) 🎧 Audiobook +eBook at no cost = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/offers/Hj6r35YY)

   You (individuality)

   Who you are is greater than what you do. The fruit of your life is an overflow of the person you’re becoming. ⭐️ 💥 INSIDE-OUT Work on you while you work on the dream. That is, do BOTH at the same time— it’s not “either-or” but “both-and.” This matters… A Yale study affirmed that: 👉 15% of the people who succeed do so because of their education or skill 👉 85% do so because of their interpersonal skills Notice, the majority of people who “make it” do so because of WHO they are (or who they have become). ⭐️ 💥 INTENSIFIED Success doesn’t change people— as we often think. Rather, it reveals who we actually are— who we’ve been all along. It amplifies the things about us. Success intensifies our: 🛠 Idiosyncrasies = the odd (but morally neutral) attributes that make us who we are 🛠 Issues = the things we need to work on… this includes our insecurities 🛠 Incredible uniqueness = the gifts and skills we have All three can become exponentially more important, so we want to deal with each of them NOW, so that we’re ready when the time comes to share our gifts with others— because we never know when that time will come. About the incredible uniqueness we all carry: 🔥Ephesians 2:8-10 = grace saves and also empowers us into a destiny and purpose 🔥Psalm 139:13 = God intentionally created David (and us) 🔥Jeremiah 1:5 = not only did God create Jeremiah (and us), but He also set us apart from our mother’s womb 🔥Isaiah 44:24 = suggests this happened even before time began 🔥Galatians 1:15 = Paul reminds us that God set him— and us— apart from the time we were born, even though he know Paul would persecute the church before he ultimately found his calling, and that we would also blunder before we stepped into ours. ⭐️ 💥 INTERDEPENDENCE If you look back at the dreams you penned in part 1 (WHAT), most of them are either: * FOR others (to benefit your spouse, family, etc.), and / or * WITH others In other words, you won’t achieve your greatest dreams alone. So work now on being the kind of person that connects well with and empowers other people. In addition, be sure you have a “bus” of the right people around you— including people who can speak into your life and even correct you. ⭐️ Note: circle back to part 1– to your dreams. Define what they are. They’ve been placed there by God. (Own them, verses rent them— like John Maxwell mentioned on stage at the Young Living event.) And, if that’s true, manage the daily grind… do the stuff. ++++++++++ 🚌 Important links: ⚙️ Planner + audio combo for $10 = go to https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/planner (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/planner) ⭐️ Register for the daily text = keyword ADVANCE to 205-259-5221 to receive a dose of hope everyday around noon CST 💰 Donate to the movement = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/give (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/give)

   Who (help, interdependence)

   Relationships are the currency of those who live in the realm of their inherent greatness. Walking in healthy relationships with whole people is integrate to living your purpose… 🚌 BUSINESS example = In the book Good to Great, Jim Collins studied the factors that made companies— working in the same time period with identical market conditions and opportunities— excel towards “greatness” while others plateaued at “good.” This was a change, because— until that time— most compared the great to the bad. He wanted to identify the determining factors that helped some companies “level up.” Here’s what he discovered: The “good” companies first charted their vision (the WHAT), their mission (the HOW), and even their values (the WHY). They evaluated organizational structure and titles… … and, though these seem like the things they SHOULD focus on, the “great” companies did something counter-intuitive. They first built a team. They got the right people together. Collins likened the companies to a “bus.” He said that whereas most companies were enamored with the color an destination and seating arrangement of those buses, the great companies simply wanted to get the right people on the bus. From that point, everything was easy… 💥 🚌 BASKETBALL example = Bill Walton, quoted in “The Fifth Discipline” (Peter Senge) spoke about times in which the oneness of his teammates hit a level that was unsurpassed… … such that it became “magical. “ 💥 🚌 BIBLE example(s) = Good to Great taps into something we see in the Bible. Namely, relationships matter more than the other stuff we can do. That’s because we were designed for relationship. ⭐️ In Genesis 1 we see that God is relational. Over and over, we see the refrain, “Let us…” during the creation account. ⭐️ In addition, we’re created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26). This means that we, too, are relational. ⭐️ Jesus was / is relational as well (see John 14:6). He says that He embodies truth (i.e., truth exists in a person— not proposition statements of right and wrong). And, He’s taking us to the Father, to a relationship in its fullest expression. ⭐️ We’re promised that God sets the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6), and that He binds us together in the “household of God” (Ephesians 2:19). This fits with other stories we see in Scripture: ✅ Building the Tower of Babel, according to God, would have been possible— because the people were unified. In fact, He— relationally, the Godhead— declared that nothing would be impossible for them because they were one (see Genesis 11:6). Notice: this was spoke by God about a people who weren’t doing something religious or even noble. They were building a monument to themselves. ✅ Psalm 133:1-2 tells us that “unity” is like the oil flowing down the beard of Aaron, conjuring images of the anointing of the priest to do a sacred service on behalf of God. In other words, unity— oneness— the “who”— is an anointing of the Spirit. It creates a supernatural super-power. 💥 ++++++++++ 🚌 Important links: 🛠 Free PDF, How to build a bridge from where you are to where you’re designed to be = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/bridge (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/bridge) ⭐️ Register for the daily text = keyword ADVANCE to 205-259-5221 to receive a dose of hope everyday around noon CST 💰 Donate to the movement = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/give (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/give)

   Why (heart, inspiration)

   Knowing your true internal motivation(s) for the life you’re trying to build empowers self-awareness (knowing who you are), as well as self-leadership (knowing how to move forward with faithfulness). Here are a few things you need to know about “the why,” that is, the third rung of the ladder in the Advance framework. 💙 The HEART is never neutral (it may be numb, such that you don’t hear what it’s saying, but it’s always expressing its opinion about things). Learn to listen to your heart, because one of two things will dictate the steps you make to move forwards towards your dreams: ❌ REASONS (read: excuses) you give not to pursue your call ✅ REALITY that God has called you to something more— and that those desires are placed in your heart by Him. ++++ Note: at this point it’s important that we understand our true identity. ⭐️ Your IDENTITY is based on what you think the most importance person or voice in your life says about you. ⭐️ This understanding of identity flows into our next point about HUSTLE. You won’t get that one right without a healthy view of your identity. ++++ 💙 HUSTLE… but do so in the right way. Jesus tells us not to “seek” over the things that the “gentiles” (read: pagans) seek after. He says they worry about the things they’ll eat, what they’ll wear, and the normal routine of life (see Matthew 6:32). He then tells us, in the Sermon on the Mount, to “seek first His kingdom” (Matthew 6:33). He promises that “all of these things” (read: what we’ll eat, what we’ll wear, etc.) “will be added to us as well.” Notably, it’s not just the object of WHAT we seek that Jesus contrast here (i.e., “They seek lesser things, but if you’ll see the greater things those lesser things will seek after you such that you don’t have to chase them…”). Rather, He contrasts the MODE of seeking. In the original Greek language, He uses two different words in this passage: ❌ The gentiles seek as a “striving and a desperate chase” (which sounds a lot like the hustle culture of today). ✅ You should seek as a hunger, as a desire… that is, as a yearning for God’s presence and power in your life. This leads us to a position, first of all, of humble confidence, because the driving “why” is that THIS is what my Father has called me to… 💙 HOLD FAST to your call… We used to talk about our career as a “vocation.” Notice the root word of “vocal,” that is, “calling.” The original way we viewed the work we do each day was that a VOICE actually chose us to do the work— and then directed us… … and, this can affect every area of life… Notice, when we see ourselves as sons (of the King) we realize that this affects EVERY dream we have. Those can ALL be ordained by God, with His voice directing each of them. (And, as we discuss in this episode, we may have a different “why” (or inspiration) for each of our dreams. Furthermore, the reasons may change over time.) 🚌 +++++++++++ 🛠 Free PDF, How to build a bridge from where you are to where you’re designed to be = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/bridge (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/bridge) 🆔 Identity course, mentioned in the talk = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/identity (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/identity) ⭐️ Register for the daily text = keyword ADVANCE to 205-259-5221 to receive a dose of hope everyday around noon CST 💰 Donate to the movement = https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/give (https://www.eatsleepadvance.com/give)

   How (hands, implementation)

   Saying “yes” to the great stuff in life often requires saying “no” to the good. That is, our most pivotal decisions don’t usually come to down a choice between “good” and “bad” but, rather, “good” and “great.” But… If we say “yes” and prioritize our process— the plan we’ve created to move from “where we are to where we’re designed to be”— and do those things consistently, we can relax about the results. They’ll come. 💥 Note: in the Advance framework, under “implementation” (how, the hands), we talk about TIME not talents or tasks, we discuss SCHEDULING not skill. The reality is that most things can be learned. You may need a class to acquire mastery or expertise in them, but you can acquire the “how to.” Here’s how to manage the daily grind, assuming you know the “how to” for each area of life: 💥 👉 #1 = CATEGORIZE everything you do using the “start-stop-continue” grid. Everything you need to do in order to achieve the dreams you listed in the previous section (the WHAT) falls into one of these three categories: ✅ START = There are some things you aren’t doing that you need to ADD to your schedule. For instance, you need to START tucking the kids in at night, START planning date night, START waking up an hour earlier to exercise, START reading certain things… ❌ STOP = Part of this plans means HALTING other things in order to make room for the new agenda. For instance, STOP vegging in front of the TV until AFTER the kids are in bed, STOP hanging with the guys multiple nights a week so you can invest in your marriage, STOP eating sugar & drinking & staying up late so you can better start the health regiment… ♻️ CONTINUE = Some things are right on track. Affirm them and continue. For instance, CONTINUE managing your schedule with the same discipline. CONTINUE managing work in the same way you are currently doing, CONTINUE your personal development routine… ⭐️ NOTE: at this point we also suggest that some things are a “NO-FOR-NOW-NOT-FOR-LATER.” That is, they’re things you may want to START— but not yet. Or, they’re things you temporarily STOP… For instance, “cheat days” on the diet may be “off the table” until you hit a certain weight goal. Or looking at houses may be off the table until you pay off your debt or reach a specific income goal (i.e., you decide not to even shop around now, lest you be tempted). This temporary pause gives you something to look forward to in the future, yet affirms that— currently— you have a limited amount of time and focus… …. you effectively punt these goals to a future time when you can more readily embrace them and actually enjoy them. 💥 👉 #2 = CREATE your “perfect week” template Step back while you’re not IN the week and create the ideal outline FOR your week. That is, pinpoint when you’ll exercise, when you’ll do certain repeating tasks such as connect with family members, and when you’ll block time for friends and/or other priorities. Even though the week will rarely go 100% perfect, you’ll make more progress with the plan. And, you can always adjust the plan as needed. 💥 👉 #3 = CALENDAR from your priorities instead of a “to do” list. Note: when we succumb to working from mere lists, we often find ourselves trapped in the tyranny of the urgent rather than working on what’s important. Lists don’t valuable how much things matter; they’re generally created in the order we think of things… … and, as a result, the most important matters rarely make the list (i.e., date night, personal time, etc.) 💥 Need help managing your day(s) and better leveraging your time?

    What (head, idea)

    The first step to living a life by design (instead of default) is deciding where you want to go. The second step is owning where you are now… (Where you are NEVER defines who you are— it’s just your current location, your starting point. Nor is where you are where you must remain. However, where you are IS where you must begin. So…) Create a plan, and enjoy the journey. Here’s how… ✅ DREAM— and develop the “best case scenario” for every area of life. We spend more time planning what we’ll wear on any given day than we do actually orchestrating the hours of that day. That is, we dress by design, but we often live by default. Make a decision to live by design… … and to create the best case scenario for each area of life, not just one area. (Because every area is connected— what happens in your family affects your work, what happens in faith affects friendships, etc.) ✅ DETERMINE the steps you need to take in order to move from here to there, but create them in reverse— from “there to here” instead of “here to there.” In other words, reverse engineer your path. This guarantees you won’t move in a random direction but that you’ll actually move toward your dream. ✅ DO the small stuff. In the Advance book (and workshop, as well as video courses), we actually talk about how to create a bridge from “there to here.” Many times, people FAIL to make forward progress because they think in terms of concepts instead of actions. For instance… …. they make goals like “lose weight” instead of calendaring actions such as cutting the alcohol and sugars, exercising every morning at 6am, and monitoring their meals. …. they make goals like “having a thriving marriage” rather than calendaring activities such as “date night each week.” It all comes down to activity— and, generally, some of these actions seem so small we overlook them. PRO TIP: In the Advance material, we help you identify the catalytic action(s)— the ones which create disproportional momentum relative to the time and effort required to complete them.
