Summary: <p>Welcome to Big Idea Tuesday! </p><br><p>On today’s <em>Broken Brain Podcast</em>, our host, Dhru Purohit talks about why it’s a great time to slow down and reflect and five critical life questions to ask during self-quarantine.</p><p><br></p><ol> <li>Are you constantly worrying about letting others down?</li> <li>Is it extremely hard for you to speak up about what you want and don’t want?</li> <li>Do you feel guilty pursuing your goals and dreams?</li> <li>Do you please others to avoid short-term pain, but underestimate the pain of living a life of regret?</li> <li>Does the critical inner voice in your head prevent you from even starting?</li> </ol><p><br></p><p>At some point in your life, you come to a crossroads where you have to ask yourself, "Whose life am I living?"</p><p></p><p>Am I living a life true to me? Or am I suppressing my goals and dreams to appease my parents, my boss, society, or some authority figure?</p><p></p><p>Living a life true to you is scary. It usually requires you to set boundaries and remind those around you that your life is your own to live.</p><p></p><p>Easier said than done, of course. </p><p></p><p>Setting boundaries and breaking expectations can be so painful, especially with the ones we love the most.</p><p></p><p>But you know what is much more painful? Living a life filled with regret. And then one day waking up on your deathbed, realizing the opinions and projections of others were not as important as we once thought they were.</p><p></p><p>No one has written about this more eloquently than Bronnie Ware, author of the <em>Top Five Regrets of the Dying</em>.
