STOPTIME: Live in the Moment.
Ranked in the top 5% of podcasts globally and winner of the 2022 Communicator Award for Podcasting, STOPTIME:Live in the Moment combines mindfulness, well being and the performing arts and features thought provoking and motivational conversations with high performing creative artists around practicing the art of living in the moment and embracing who we are, and where we are at. Long form interviews are interspersed with brief solo episodes that prompt and invite us to think more deeply.

STOPTIME: Live in the Moment.
Lisa Hopkins: When is Enough Enough?
Let us know what you enjoy about the show!
Safe to say we have all at one time or another reached a boiling point and finally found the strength to draw the line and stand by our non-negotiables.
But what non-negotiables do we have for how we treat ourselves? Why do we set the bar so high for how we show up for others but keep it so low for how we show up for ourselves?
If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review! Word of mouth is incredibly impactful and your support is much appreciated!

What does the word enough mean to you in this moment? Is it a kind of settling? โthis is good enough for nowโ Or does it feel like gratitude? โIโve got more than enoughโ Or maybe itโs wrapped up in greed or scarcity. An insatiable hunger for more. โI donโt have enoughโ.
Sometimes it shows up as a much needed boundary. A primitive inner voice that rises up inside and screams โenough is enough!โ
Safe to say we have all at one time or another reached a boiling point and finally found the strength to draw the line and stand by our non-negotiables.
But what non-negotiables do we have for how we treat ourselves? Why do we set the bar so high for how we show up for others but keep it so low for how we show up for ourselves?
Used one way, โenoughโ can be empowering, a kind of catharsis as we finally stand in our truth. And yet the very same word, when turned on ourselves, has an astonishing self-destructive capacity.
โIโm not good enoughโ, โIโll never be enoughโ โ โฆ.you know the script. The overwhelming feeling that somehow we arenโt rising to the expectations of others, and that we are therefore flawed or deficient.
But what does enough even mean?
Is it defined by some sort of unreachable destination or perfect ideal that seems to get further away the closer we get? We are all too aware of the high value our society places on fame, money, success and beauty but if we donโt take a moment to understand what our values are how can we begin to value ourselves?
I came across something that Susan David wrote in her wonderful book โEmotional Agilityโ. That Iโd like to share with you as I think it is particularly insightful and on point in this moment. She writes:
"Let go of unrealistic dead people's goals by accepting that being alive means sometimes getting hurt, failing , being stressed and making mistakes.Free yourself from ideas of perfection so you can enjoy the process of loving and living. Open yourself up to the love that will come with hurt and the hurt that will come with love and to the success that will come with failure and the failure that will come with success Recognize that life's beauty is inseparable from its fragility. We're young until we're not, we're healthy until we're not, we're with those we love until we're not. Learn how to hear the heartbeat of your own โwhyโ and finally remember to dance if you can."
โNough said. Iโm Lisa Hopkins thanks for listening. Stay safe and healthy everyone and remember to live in the moment.
