Sunday Dinner with Coach Dan

Good afternoon, everybody. It's Sunday dinner with Dan on Cod dure live. It's big Super Bowl Sunday today. Let's see if anybody's around. Anybody here? Give a shout out if you are, if you're watching this live stream rebroadcast. Hello to you, too. You can always leave a comment either while the live is happening or after it has when we check back and answer any questions that you have. Today is a big day. I know a lot of people are already cooking up a storm and ready for the big game and hi, Brian.

And we are doing the same here. I did not want to go into any big complicated or even easy dinner recipes tonight because I figure everybody's doing their own thing. But I do have a couple things that I wanted to talk about today. One is a quick, really easy, quick tip for a variety of different appetizers, snacks, breakfasts, dinner, apps, what have you, muffin pans. These are fantastic to have and they pair really well with wonton wrappers. So if you can get some wonton wrappers at the store. I don't know if you have these little muffin pans like this, but you can always find these at the Salvation army or goodwill or whatever you've got in your neighborhood.

So check around and see if you can get some mini, little muffin pans. These wonton wrappers are fantastic, fantastic vessels. So you fill each little muffin container with the wonton, you just push it down, and then you can fill this with taco stuff like taco meat and cheese and salsa. Or you can make mini quiches, scramble an egg and pour that over your favorite ingredients for an omelet. You can make little tiny mini pizza cups. Anything that you can think of that you would like in a little wonton cup.

This is the way to go. So try it if you've got time. Run out now. Kickoff's not for a while here on the east coast eastern time zone. We've got about 3 hours. I wanted to talk about winning and losing and because one of the teams today is going to win and one is going to lose. And I think life is like that sometimes, that some days we're winning and some days maybe we feel like we're losing. But a tool that I use in coaching that I really find valuable is the wheel of life. And the wheel of life is a circle divided into different pieces of pie.

And every piece of pie is a category of your life, your family, your friends, your faith, your work, your hobbies. And you can customize the wheel to include the areas of your life that are most meaningful to you. Moving through the tool to the next step, we go in each individual pie piece and take a look at the satisfaction that you are. I'm sorry that the amount of effort that you put into each one of these areas. If you have children, you know, you may dump a lot of time and energy into family and childcare.

If you work too much, maybe work is. That's where you're dumping all your energy. Maybe your spiritual tank is a little low. You're not putting enough energy there. So it really gives you a nice visual to some thought that you put into the different areas in your life and how you are showing up in those areas. Whether you're giving those areas enough of your focus or not. The next step I like to do after you've given each piece of pie a number from one to ten. One being the least, ten being the most.

In regards to the amount of time and effort that you put into these different areas of your life. Looking at them, you can see where in your life these categories might need some more focus. This is a step I love. You go back through and you give them a second number. And that is the number gauging your satisfaction that you have in that area of life. One area you could be putting a ten in for time and effort, and you may have a one for satisfaction. It really takes the step further and allows you now not only to see what areas in your life are lacking and need more attention, but where the satisfaction is coming and whether those numbers are closely related or not.

Take a close look at the numbers that are not, that are far apart. Major effort, little satisfaction. And those areas are areas that you might want to consider outsourcing or getting help with. So the wheel of life is a fantastic tool. It breaks down the different areas of your life. It allows you to take a really good look at each to gauge how much effort you're putting into the different areas of your life and also the kind of satisfaction that you're getting from those different areas of life.

Having that all clear on paper in front of you is really powerful and it will allow you some clarity to and some better success when you're moving into self improvement. So my question today is, are you winning or are you losing? Which piece of the pie is showing you that you're struggling in that area and you need more focus or which piece of pie is. Is just fantastic and doesn't need anything? We all have areas of our life that we want to spend more time and energy focusing on. And I think we all have areas in our life where we focus too much and we're not getting enough out of it.

Take a look at the areas in your life and determine whether you're winning in that area or you're losing in that area. You get to decide and you also get to choose what you're going to do about it. This is coach Dan Cunningham on Cadre Live. It's Super Bowl Sunday. I hope your team wins, but whether you're winning or you're losing, get a clear picture of what's going on in your life and make some things happen. All right. Have a great game day, everybody. We'll talk to you later.
