What Do You Wanna Do This Weekend?

Feeling exhausted has become almost a badge of honor in today's hyper-productive culture. We push through tiredness, override our desires, and fill our calendars with obligations until we can barely recognize what we truly want anymore. This disconnect between our actions and our authentic desires is exactly what I witnessed while coaching a high-achieving woman recently.

Despite being typically decisive, this woman found herself paralyzed by a simple weekend decision. As we worked through her mental fatigue, I asked her to set aside all external expectations and answer one question: "What do you want?" The answer wasn't about productivity, networking, or self-improvement.

And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:

• Leave a review of this podcast.

Simple as that!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Let it Be Easy with Susie Moore.
I was coaching a woman who wastired, and I think many people
are more tired than they realizethe pace of life, how we keep
up, we work a lot, we socializea lot, we work out, we do all

(00:23):
the things I would say it's veryeasy to have a very full,
slightly overscheduled life.
I was reading about howchildren actually no, I was
watching this on a documentaryon the plane how children,
children even under the age of10 are more scheduled, are more
scheduled day by day than eveninmates in a prison.
That is how their hour by hourexistence is.

(00:46):
And as I was coaching this highachieving woman with a very
full life, I could just sensethis sense of tiredness.
It wasn't something that sheacknowledged, because sometimes
we think that being tired is aweakness.
We should have this abundantenergy go, go, go, take care of
everybody.
And she was.
I knew that she was tiredbecause she was struggling to
make a pretty simple decisionand she is a very decisive,

(01:10):
quick, quick person.
And she was like Susie, this isso weird.
I just I can't decide what todo this weekend.
I've got these options, this, Ishould go to this, but I'm
really meant to go to that X Y Z, x Y Z and I'm like, and I said
to her, we took a couplebreaths and I said to her forget
what you should do, forget whatanyone else wants, forget

(01:32):
social media, forget it all.
Empty it out.
It doesn't exist in this moment.
Let it all go.
What do you want to do thisweekend?
What do you want?
It's like the notebook scene,isn't it?
What do you want to do thisweekend?
What do you want?
It's like the notebook scene,isn't it?
What do you want?
Come on, ask yourself this.
No one else is going to ask you, or maybe they'll ask you

(01:54):
casually, but not really care,because they want you to do what
they want.
You have to ask yourself, dare,I say it's the most important
question you can ever askyourself what do I want?
What do I want in my life?
What do I want in my future?
What do I want in my marriage?
What do I want my contributionto be?
What do I want to do thisweekend?
Brick by brick, even a smallquestion like that, you create a

(02:15):
life of intention.
And it was so weird because inthat moment, what do I want?
It's like this foreign concept.
It's like we're so disconnectedfrom ourselves we don't even
know.
Because she says I have to gohere, that invitation is
important.
Oh, I really should make anappearance at this, does not?
This isn't cohesive with whatyou want a lot of the time, and

(02:38):
we override, we override thedecision, we override our
tiredness, we override what ourdesire is because, hey, we're
just getting through the week,even getting through the weekend
.
So think about it.
You know what is it?
What do I want?
And after a couple of minutesthinking about this, being in

(02:58):
just quiet reflection,forgetting everything,
reflection, forgettingeverything.
You know what she said?
It wasn't.
I want to go to this fantasticrestaurant opening.
I want to complete this workproject because I've got a few
extra hours to jam it in onSunday, or I want to work out
until I sweat my butt off andfeel like I've got permission to

(03:21):
enjoy the rest of my Saturday.
She said I want to call my mom.
I want to call my mom.
It was lovely, actually, for acouple of reasons.
Number one, we tapped into thereal desire and also, as she

(03:43):
said it, I thought yeah, youknow, not everyone has the
privilege.
There'll be one day where thatwon't be available, that won't
be an option.
Are you putting what'simportant first?
She lives in a different stateto her mother, of course.
She's got this busy full life,so they rarely connect for more
than maybe 10 or 15 minutes onthe phone, mainly when she's

(04:05):
driving.
So to sit to have a two, threehour FaceTime.
And she told me, you know, Iended up cooking because she got
hungry when she was on thephone to her mom having a long
conversation.
So she put her phone up and hermom was watching her cook
giving her suggestions.
It was perfect.
So forget everything for amoment, right, this upcoming

(04:27):
weekend.
Forget everything.
Forget the shoulds, even forgetyour plans.
Forget the commitments.
Forget the workout you need todo.
Forget the mani ped up for youfor your life, right now, until

(04:53):
tomorrow, my friends.
