A Little Solution: To Freeze or Not to Freeze

Welcome to the debut of A Little Solution, a new segment of the Discover Solutions, Feel Better podcast dedicated to providing quick, impactful advice for navigating life's challenges. Drawing inspiration from Gretchen Rubin's 'A Little Happier' podcast segment, each episode of this series will offer bite-sized insights and solutions to help you thrive in your everyday life.

In today’s episode, I share a story about a friend facing a dilemma while walking with a colleague who had mobility issues. Picture this: he’s traipsing through the icy tundra of Minnesota with a colleague who's moving at a snail's pace due to a bum hip. My friend is torn between chivalry and frostbite, wondering if he should sprint ahead or stay frosty. Tough call, right? But here's the twist: instead of sweating the gender norms or playing the hero, I offer a simple solution—let your values be your compass. Who says kindness has a speed limit or a gender? So, I gently suggested to my friend, "Hey, why not let your heart lead the way?" And you know what? It's like a light bulb moment! So, next time you're caught in a chilly conundrum, remember: it's not about racing to the finish line; it's about staying true to what matters most, even if it means taking a slower stroll through the snow.
