Go go go, do more, keep going, always hustling. There are the messages we're constantly getting and perpetuating in Western culture. Rarely are we told to really slow down and look around or rest, which can lead to feeling tired, getting out of alignment with our values, and feeling unhappy or uninspired. Today I talk about how to check in with yourself and adjust if you don't enjoy what you're doing.
Small Steps in the Show:
- Take an inventory of all the things you're doing right now.
- Do you really enjoy all of these things?
- Pick 1-2 things to adjust for a few weeks and see how you feel.
- Consider trying something new.
- Check back in after a set period of time.
- Be okay with letting things go and things changing.
- Accept that just because you're not doing them now doesn't mean you won't even do them again
- Remind yourself you're not a robot, you're allowed to change, the things don't define you, you define you.
- Share these thoughts and feelings with someone you trust.
- Practice lots of kindness and compassion for yourself.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
