Episode Synopsis

On This Episode: When our motto tells us that we gotta embrace the suck, it's only natural that your feelings aren't going to be all cheery and bubbly. It's not as if someone drops that phrase on you and suddenly the clouds part and rainbows shoot across the sky, of course not. The foundations of embracing the suck are through feelings that are off. Think about it, when was the last time you truly embraced anything unpleasant with a big grin on your face? Those are not happy feelings, they are feelings of discomfort and misery. It's those gnarly, gut-twisting emotions that make you want to crawl back under the covers and hit snooze on life for a little bit. But normally, we don't stay in that space, normally, we do what we can to remove those feelings of misery and return into a state of comfort. Seriously, nobody is lining up to marinate in their own misery. And let's be honest, if there's a way out, most of us are shuffling towards it as fast as we can. But no matter what, we have to spend something in order to remove those off-feelings and restore ourselves back to normal, whether it is through time or money. Nothing comes for free, right? If you want to escape the funk, you’ve gotta fork over something, whether it’s binge-watching shows to distract yourself, or dropping cash on retail therapy. Whatever you're willing to spend on whatever can restores your joy, that means misery is unfortunately profitable.Connect with UsProudly Hosted by RedCircle: https://www.redcircle.com/tylersgrimremindersNow streaming on Spotify :)Substack: https://tylersgrimreminders.substack.com/If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.
