Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.
Today's tip is to reassess your safety nets.
Back -up plans are good, but you don't necessarily need them forever, or at least need the same ones forever.
Make sure you take a good look from time to time to see what is still serving you and what isn't.
Today's tip, like another this week, comes from Elizabeth Sharp -Maccatta's new book, Edit Your Life.
This book is about how to live within tension in a messy world.
One of her suggestions for editing your life is to look around your life, at your safety nets, and ask what they are keeping you safe from, and whether they are serving that purpose.
Maybe you need an extra safety net, or maybe you need less.
It's hard to know, unless you take a really good look.
So first some clarification.
A literal safety net is the net below an aerial performer that means if the person falls, they won't be badly injured.
Metaphorically, a safety net is something that keeps a problem from becoming a disaster.
So a safety net like unemployment insurance means that if someone loses a job, his or her family will still have some income.
We often have safety nets for our individual lives too.
For instance, Elizabeth talks of having an accountant friend who took on freelance tax season work while he was growing his own business.
He wanted to make sure he had enough cash coming in, so that even if the business grew slowly, he would be okay.
Some safety nets are absolutely necessary.
Even if you are wealthy or have an incredibly secure job, it is still a good idea to have a few months worth of expenses, somewhere you can access easily.
If you and your spouse both travel for work, and you have kids.
You need more than one person available while you are both gone.
In case something goes wrong for that first person.
And both of you aren't there.
But you do want to ask what the safety nets in your life are keeping you safe from.
For instance, the accountant in our example wanted to avoid going broke, even if his business took a while to grow.
But after he had more clients than he could handle, he really needed to focus on his business rather than diverting his attention to work that was just about paying the bills.
His bills were fine.
Time to let that particular net go.
Elizabeth suggests asking if you feel you can live more freely knowing a safety net is below you or if a particular safety net has started to hamper your choices.
What might happen if you shed one of your safety nets?
Would you have more time to pursue your creative work, more freedom to do things in your personal life?
Or, conversely, you might find that certain safety nets might make you braver.
For instance, if you don't have an emergency fund, you might live in fear of losing your job.
Once you've got a fair amount of cash in the bank, that That prospect becomes a lot less terrifying.
That means that people have less power over you.
You don't really have to do anything.
You have choices. And that can make you a lot braver and more free.
So reassess your safety nets, and figure out which are working for you and which aren't.
Figure out if you need to take one away, or maybe, if you need to add one.
Getting the balance right can help you build the life you want.
In the meantime, this is Laura.

Hey listeners, I need to tell you about Hill House Home.
I love this brand. They invented the viral nap dress.
And let me tell you, it is so flattering and comfortable with their signature smocking.
I'm not the only one who loves Hill House dresses.
Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Anne Hathaway, and Mindy Kaling have all been spotted in the Hill House nap dress.
One of my favorite things about Hill House dresses is how versatile they are.
I can wear the same dress during the day and then head out for dinner at night without missing a beat.
Hill House Home's commitment to comfort and style doesn't stop at their dresses.
They started with bedding back in 2016, and their prints are just gorgeous.
Their bathrobes and pajamas are so soft, because guess what?
The PJs are made with the same cotton fabric as their baby onesies.
So when I wear them, I literally sleep like a baby.
Hill House is perfect for all ages.
They have the cutest baby and kids items, like tiny robes, onesies, and PJs you can monogram.
All just adorable. So get 15 % off your order of $100 or more at hillhousehome .com with code BREAKFAST15.
