There is no room for anger in our lives. If we truly want to live the best possible life, then we must learn how to eliminate this nasty emotion from our lives completely. So on today's episode, I outline the following five strategies which have helped me completely remove anger from my life since my departure from ESPN led me to feel the most anger I've ever felt in my life:
- Control what you can control (4:57)
- Raise your standards, lower your expectations (8:56)
- Practice non-attachment (13:21)
- Maintain perspective (18:52)
- Make room for gratitude daily (21:12)
Plus, I answer a listener question about how to make better financial decisions (26:20). To submit a question/comment to the show, just DM me on Instagram @troy_farkas.
IMPORTANT QUOTES:
- "Remember how lucky you are to be where you are right now, to be doing what you're doing, to be surrounded by the people that you are."
- "It's really difficult to feel sustained periods of negative emotions when you live from a place of gratitude. That's the best place to be. If you are grateful for every second, every moment, every opportunity, that is the way to live your life."
HOUSEKEEPING:
- If you prefer a video component, you can watch entire episodes of "The Found Generation" on my YouTube channel
- To purchase my new book, "Surrender: A Guide to Living Your Best Life in Your Twenties," you can get it on Amazon.
