Ep 153: HOW TO LIVE A FULFILLING LIFE (REMAKE)




You've Got 5 Options show

Summary: Welcome to our very first REMAKE! This time we're looking again into our most listened to. and most voted for a remake challenge from the very beginning of YVG50: 5 Insights That Will Completely Change You And Lead You To A Fulfilled Life. And we have a real treat for you! We got a follow-up e-mail from Julienne! Letter from Julienne Dear Marta and Anna,  I went through the 5 options again, and your and Anna's analysis are OMG, so spot on! And believe me, this is not to "throw flowers on you" (that's a french saying "fakely-to-be-kind compliment you") but truly is! now I cannot remember exactly when I posted my challenge (I can see it was in September 2017), but I can tell you that I have mainly used option 2 and 3 (Drama Creation: Make sure Your need for excitement comes from a good place and  Forgive and Accept yourself) Option 4 (Finding Balance: Get In Sync With Yourself And Realize Your True Potential): I fully agree with this option, but it is so hard to ignore what others think about you (for example, I had to go on month travelling with work, away from my kids, but I got beaten up so hardly by my mum, that I can’t help feeling guilty about it, also because there is a wisdom in being the mother that society expects you to be right? so my mum is probably true in blaming me, for leaving my kids for a month, even though I tried to come home every two weeks, I managed to celebrate my child’s bday, and invite all the class, during the two days I was back in DK but still, that didn’t help live up to the standard of a good mother...) You mention yourself, that there is some wisdom in stereotypes.. and that's why i still feel bad, about messing up a bit the mom stereotype.  I did not, however, stop being myself, and I did more mess since 2017, that I am proud of! because that is who I am, and I loved the option of accepting and embracing who I am. Also, the one that says, that impulsiveness is not the problem, the problem is the outcome, and that we could have reached a bad outcome after a thoroughly thought-through decision. I have bought a house, last year, impulsively!! I asked my husband what he thought, he wasn’t really interested, I asked him to come and look at it, he did not want to waste his time, and I asked him to really consider it as I see it as a good option. he did not want to.. I went there, without talking to any bank (I know.. I know.. not very smart) to look at it.. and I loved it... very very old almost falling apart house.. but I fell in love with it.. and it felt right.. so I bought it on the spot.. signed paper same day and did not say anything to my husband until the deadline for paying off the house almost hit and the banks did not accept to grant me the loan (he asked for divorce, and told me to plead insanity to get away with it, my kids were literally disgusted by the state of the house, when I took them to see it but I was  blindly in love with what house, I didn’t allow them to criticize it )   well, it ended up well... (after a lot of drama, and stress) and an expensive loan, we are renovating it :) and I was happy throughout the whole journey! because i listened to myself and acted based on who I truly am.  That is who I am, and bein
