JC Lipple explores Whim Wednesday, encouraging spontaneous, small intentional actions and reflecting on how choosing whims on purpose can nourish daily life; includes listener examples and prompts to notice habits and build a toolkit for spontaneity.
When was the last time you did something on a whim? I always love adding the words on purpose at the end of sentences like, hey, go do something today. It reminds you that at various times, we can, as I love to say, do little things on purpose.
This week is Whim Wednesday. Practice doing things on a whim. You never know when that whimsical thing will become the thing that's needed in the moment. I invite you to share a whim next week.
Starting something new Listen how the heartbeat it always tells the truth Baby, take it easy I'm following a whim. Dr. Leah. Good morning, my friend. That song is Hayley Williams Whim. When was the last time you did something on a whim? Oh, so many people coming on in. I can't say hey to y'. All. Say hey to me so I can say hey back to you. There's a big old bunch, y'. All. Peace and joy. Nice to see you, my friend. Peace and joy. I feel like you should know. Speak, Wonder. Sounds like that would be a joyful.
A joyful pairing. Peace and joy and speaking wonder. C. lipple. That was Haley Williams Whim to kick us off this morning. Good morning, Rick. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know, and I care about you. Yo, hey. Hands in the air like you really, really care. Hey. Hey. Thanks for all the greetings. So I'll ask it again. When was the last time you did something on a whim? I always try whenever I ask a question like that to answer first. So I am thinking really hard. The last time I did something on a whim.
Do you struggle with questions like that? I think by nature, when we do things on a whim. Hey, hey. 1% better. Nice to see you, my friend. Doing something on a whim. Almost hits a rose. Says more than I like to admit. Actually, yes, please. I. I would like to follow in your footsteps. Actually, no. I do things on a whim all the time, but I don't allow myself to be nourished by nourished by them. I always love adding the words on purpose at the end of sentences like, hey, go do something today, or hey, say what you mean to say, or change the direction of where we're going.
If you put on purpose at the end of each of those statements, it reminds you that at various times, we can, as I love to say, do little things on purpose or do little things often. Or do little things often on purpose. It allows us to be nourished by those things. It makes those things a little bit more sticky. Speak, Wonder says on a whim. I approached a guy who was wearing a fire fire T shirt and thanked him for his service. Awesome, my friend. But, you know, on Wednesdays, we often talk about this idea of.
Of, as I always say, the big bucket of mental health. And I say that in kind of a daunting way, the big bucket of the thing that supposedly we're all here for to Deal with this part of our being in the hopes that we feel better and not that we don't feel good enough, but that when we walk in considering where we are and how we can potentially impact where we are, it sets us up to. To do the things we feel called to do, or the things we need to do, or the things that in the moment, become more important than they were a moment ago.
One percent better, says a whim at least every week or two. I see it as listening to the universe and getting out of. Out of the rut. Yeah, right. Do you live your life in a lot of rut time? If you do, what can you do about it? Not, like, do something about it, but are you building your toolkit in a way that allows you to go, huh, you know what? Right now, on purpose, I'm gonna do X. Because you never know. You never know when the thing that seems fun or flighty or curious but not incredibly integral to your life may become the thing that you need to do.
Like, could you stop dropping dance right now? Could you go ahead and stand up and unabashedly move your body in a way that would bring you joy or bring you clarity or bring you release or bring you into connection with the people around you? If the answer is no, there may be a time in your life when you need to stand up and dance. Like the Jumbotron finds you at the sports arena. Or all of a sudden, a person walking down the street says, dance with me. And all of a sudden you're like, oh, my gosh, this is a moment.
But I am not equipped. I don't have the ability to stop dropping dance Practice doing things on a whim. Because you never know when that muscle that you flex when you're whimming will come into great use that may literally change your life. Sometimes people go, jc, I can't figure out what you do or how you do it or why you do it, as if they're asking me to say, so. Tell me your master plan. My master plan is to do a lot of whimsical things because you never know when all of a sudden that whimsical thing will become the thing that's needed in the moment.
Yeah, schedule your whims, y'. All. Whim boldly. We talk about following boldly on Mondays. Maybe Wednesdays. Is now women Wednesdays. I invite you to come back next week and to share a whim. To share something that is so far out of your. Your nature set. That's out of your. Huh. This is adjacent to something I would normally do. Like what if you did something you normally just would never, ever do? All of a sudden, a little new neural pathway, a little new gray matter starts developing in your brain and you go, huh.
I now have that skill set. You know, I found this Hayley Williams song by typing in whim. I'd never heard it before. It's a good rainy Wednesday Bop. I'm glad I whimmed on Spotify today. I hope that you whim sometime on this Whim Wednesday. But in the meantime, I'll wish you well win boldly.
