You Did it Again: Now What?
A Strategy to Find Hope When You Blame Yourself
Sometimes, we make a decision or choice today that threatens our success, happiness, family, work, or health tomorrow. Lisa and I call this the “Tomorrow Tax.”
(Adapted from Season 8, Episode 10 for Throwback Thursday)
This episode is in response to a listener named Julie, who asked me to prescribe an “Emergency Dose” for when we find ourselves paying that Tomorrow Tax again.
Listen to hear the four steps to take if you find yourself paying a tax tomorrow on what happened yesterday.
