Your daily routine can give you a lot of positivity and make it much easier to achieve your life goals, making your life more fulfilling and satisfying. So, to master your daily life and bring positivity into it, let’s delve deep into it with Dr. Eric Maisel.
Dr. Eric Maisel is an author with over 50 books and an expert in creativity, life purpose, and mental health. He is passionate about creativity, leading a creative life, and discovering new ways to be creative. He’s also exploring life’s purpose and meaning, delving into mental health and critical psychology (which also goes by critical psychiatry and anti-psychiatry), and navigating parenting challenges in an era where “mental disorders” seem prevalent.
Dr. Eric contributes to Psychology Today through his “Rethinking Mental Health” blog. He regularly adds his insights to Mad in America, a platform he helped shape by establishing and editing its resources for parents.
When he’s not doing all that, he loves conducting Deep Writing workshops around the world in places like Paris, London, Rome, Dublin, Prague, New York, and San Francisco. Working with individuals to coach them on creativity and creating intriguing and helpful programs (like his Life Purpose Boot Camp Self-Paced Instructor Training) are also among his favorite things.
On this podcast hosted by Lu Ngo, Dr. Eric generously shares his wisdom and practical advice to help people align their daily routines with their life purposes and find true satisfaction in their pursuits.
One of Dr. Eric’s core messages is about the significance of giving priority to creative work within everyday routines. He suggests dedicating even just a few minutes daily to personal passion. This consistent effort can result in impressive productivity and personal contentment.
Dr. Eric guides that starting the day with creative endeavors allows artists to tap into their subconscious problem-solving abilities, using the ideas that have been simmering in their minds during sleep. This approach boosts productivity and brings a sense of meaning and purpose, countering feelings of depression and elevating overall life satisfaction.
Furthermore, Dr. Eric challenges the conventional pursuit of happiness, suggesting it’s not the ultimate life goal. Instead, he urges focusing on living according to personal purpose and accomplishing things to be proud of. It is possible to experience a more profound sense of fulfillment and happiness by identifying and incorporating what truly matters into daily routines.
As Dr. Eric continues through the podcast, he emphasizes the importance of adaptability and flexibility. Individual life purposes may evolve, and he encourages regular check-ins to ensure the routines align with personal changing objectives. He emphasizes that forgiving oneself and maintaining consistency, even in the face of setbacks, is crucial when establishing new habits.
By valuing creative work, addressing anxiety, and nurturing imagination through daily routines, you can unlock the full potential for personal growth, creativity, and satisfaction. Also, embrace adaptability, introspection, and determination in your daily routines to live a more meaningful and purpose-driven life.
