Welcome to O'Talkin' with Dave. Coming to you from his fortress in Sin City, put your hands together for the pastor of positivity whose glass is always at least half full. Here's Dave. Hey, how are we doing? I hope you're great. I am feeling good. Feeling good. More than just top shelf. You ever have a situation and you thought, man, that feels good. I love that. And that's what we're going to talk about today. There are times and moments and places and things that it's a difference in life just happening and it landing. Those moments. Most people are moving so fast they don't even notice when something is just right. But when you're aware of that and you're grateful, and you got that, I don't know, you've even got a loose plan for the day, and then certain moments just click and they land. Maybe it's a decision that just feels right. Or a conversation clicks. It's just the words come to you, the words a person is saying to you, hit a little deeper and just right on target. And then, you know, you a small wind will carry you through. I don't know, spring day when you go, ah, and smell the fresh cut grass, or maybe it's in the fall when that first little bite hits of cooler weather. Oh, football. Those moments are the difference in feeling it and it just got by without you really grasping it. That's one of the things around stress and worry. They rob us of that or distraction. They all rob us of those moments. So they can be bigger than that, but sometimes it's just that it's fantastic. Right now, I am in a good spot. This feels good. For a second, you don't just rush past it. You take it in. And I got some examples we'll talk through, but I love it when those happen and we've got to be ready for them. Because that's the difference between existing and living. That's the difference in living or being alive. All right, I'm getting ahead of myself here. But let's just go a few things that feel good, that aren't they rare. A lot of times they're just ignored or taken for granted. I love this. Waking up before the alarm and you feel rested. It's not what time is it? It's huh, I feel pretty good. Wow. It's not even time to get up yet. That feels good. Or solving a problem that's been nagging at you for days. And you've I think I've got the answer. I didn't even think that. I that comes to me a lot of times when I'm going for a walk or something. Or you can't think of the answer to something you're trying to think. You don't want to Google it. You don't want to Google it. I kind of Moonshine Flats. That's the name of the place. Boom. And it's that little satisfaction of remembering that.

Yeah.

Or somebody thanking you. They're genuinely thanking you for something. Maybe you forgot you did it. Or you just did it out of just out of the goodness of your heart. It was no big deal to you, but it meant something to somebody. And they gave you a sincere thank you. Yeah. Or walking into a room. A lot of times I'll walk into rooms before something's getting going, or maybe we need to call everybody in. And you really, maybe sometimes, eh, you're a little more not anxious, but not sure of what the next few steps. You have an idea, but then to walk in that room at total at ease, because you're ready. You're ready. You get smiles coming at you, and you're ready to go, and they're ready for you. That feels good. Or just to finish something. I was I had been waiting for a morning set aside to do something, a little project around the house. And for a couple of weeks, I had it planned. I knew I was going to do it. I wasn't putting it off. I planned it for that time. And then to finish that, to get up on that morning, get it done, and finish it. Oh, yeah, man. I'm going to sit back and enjoy my handiwork. Yeah, because I really didn't feel like doing it today, but I had it set, so I'm going to do it. That feels good. Or a conversation. I had a conversation recently with somebody I care about, and we were just spending time together. And all of a sudden it got a little deeper. And we said some things that I felt like he needed to say. I didn't realize it was that big a deal. But he really went deep with the conversation. And then I met him there. And we had a had a few moments. And it made that bond even stronger. Unexpected. But man, that felt good. Yeah. And then on the other side, laughing until you're wheezing. You can't breathe. And then during that laughter and that time, you realize the bond of this moment and this friendship or this partnership or whatever it is. Laughter is the thing for me. Hey, I'm I get emotional, I get vulnerable, I cry, I cry at things now, and it that feels good as well. But that laughter and that bond, it's that feels good. Or maybe just getting a text or a call. Many times I'll be thinking about somebody, and then boom, I get a text or a call, and they say that. And I've done it to people, and they'll come back with, man, I was just thinking about you. That feels good. That feels good. Alexa had nothing to do with that, by the way. Yeah, she's in the other room thinking, what? What did you say? Alexa quit. Or making that good decision and then not second guessing it. Boom. That's it. We can move on. I'm sure of that confidence, not arrogance, that confidence. And then I tell you, for me, many times I never take it for granted. Get in that cup of coffee in the morning and walking out and setting up my spot in my back area there by the pool, taking that deep breath and that first sip of coffee. That feels so good. And if you'll look at this list, I could go on for an hour. Maybe I should sometimes. Just a hundred things I'm grateful for. Alright, stay tuned. I'll do that. But none of these require money. None of them require luck or even perfect timing on my part or your part. All they require is awareness. Here I am. Here we are in this moment. It's fantastic. But there's some reasons why we miss them. Most people miss them for various reasons, and we don't like to admit it, but behavioral psychology, I gotta watch these multisyllable words, suggest we overlook 50% of positive daily experiences because you know why? Our brains are wired to scan for problems first. We've talked about this. So we miss 50% of the good stuff. It's not our fault, it's not your fault. It doesn't mean you're negative, it doesn't mean you're not grateful. However, that is what happens. And the average person spends nearly half their waking time distracted or mentally elsewhere, which I guess is what distracted means. We remember negative moments three times more vividly than positive. So it's not that life isn't delivering good moments. It's we got stuff going on. We're blowing right past them. Like a highway sign going 80 miles an hour. Just talking about highways, it's like we're driving cross country and only remembering the potholes or the places where the traffic was the worst. When ignoring the mountains and the sunsets and the stretches where everything ran smoothly. I remember many times I've driven the same roads over and over. I love to drive through Nevada and California and a lot of places in the South and certain seasons and my goodness, across Texas at certain times. However, when I'm a passenger, I enjoy it so much more. Not that I like anybody else being in control, because I kind of like to be in control. However, when someone else is driving, I can take it in. I can take it in. So we don't necessarily have a bad trip. We just paid attention to the wrong parts. I've got an O talk coming up on misery where it talks about that. Oh, great title, Dave. Yeah. However, it talks about if you're miserable, it's because you're focusing on miserable things. Today we're going to talk about focusing on the good things. So why does it feel so good and so differently at different stages of your life? What hits right and feels good, it's different in your 20s or 40s or 60s. But the need for it doesn't change. So in your 20s, even before your 20s, remember the time, first time you got in a car and drove away by yourself? Scary. Kind of scary, but then this feels good. And then somebody sees you and you're giving them the wave, or maybe the two-finger wave. Hopefully not the one-finger salute. You're a little young for that, Johnny. But it's it feels great. Or maybe in your 20s, when you get out of school. It could be high school, college, whatever school you're in, and it's okay, now I'm ready. A little scary, right? You land that first job, you get that interview and that first experience, no matter what it is, that you win or you do well. Ah, feels good. Being seen or heard for the first time. I remember at York Terrace Park growing up, we had the men play at one end basketball, and the young guys who are just shooting down there, whatever. They're too young to play with the men, but getting that call. They need one more, so they yell to the other end and asked me to come down and play with the men. I'll never forget that feeling. It's fantastic. It just right. So many of those. But in your 40s, now you've got you got some miles on you now, a little bit. You got some experiences. You're through the firsts of a lot of things. You probably, by this point, you may be married and have kids in the 30s. That's the battle. Now you're in your 40s, so you're starting to feel a little bit of stability or assurance of your direction. Maybe a little more control, hopefully a little more control. Yeah, you're providing for people, and that feels good. Their presence under the tree at Christmas. Yeah. Santa Claus hits a little differently. Yeah. It's also you're getting at work, you're getting a little more respect, more influence. It's it's that path that things just feel great. You may have relocated a couple of times. And when you think back, the challenges that you overcame, they're not potholes now. They are badges of honor. And then me, I'm in my 60s. So things that hit different are you get that text from a from one of your kids, an adult kid saying, I'm thinking of you. Or remember the time. Or, man, that sure was fun. I got one from my son last night. We just had a weekend together, and just to let me know how much fun he had and how cool it was to hang out with me. Ah, that feels good. In your 60s, too, you understand a little more that, okay, your time, you don't think about, okay, I'm in the last half of my life. You think, oh, my time is mine. I've earned this. I can, I got the freedom. I got freedom, control, and resolve. Hello. Yes, Doctor. And then just the meaningful connections. Those people or those things or those places that they just hit and it's meaningful now. I bought a new car not long ago, and I still had that feeling like the first one I ever bought. This is mine. Driving around, oh, it's fantastic. Same feeling, different perspective. Yeah. So many times. You're the same human, but you got a different scorecard. You got a you got different notes in the margin. Cluster of grapes, still the same. But the the thread there is every stage, 20s, 40s, 60s, what feels good is tied to something. That's why it feels good. It's either progress or a connection or control or reassurance. All of those things. That's where it comes from. So let's talk about those categories, those feel-good categories. And you know, when something feels good, you can plug in anything you want in the blank. Ah, that feels good. What is that? Blank. Let's keep it clean. Or not, whatever you want, whatever floats your tractor. So five categories of this feel good while we chase it. First of all, progress. You're moving towards something. That's why I'd say keep score, measure it. The slightest bit forward is fantastic. I was talking to someone the other day who were bragging about losing four pounds. Okay. Well, I could I could lose four pounds in 10 minutes. If four pounds, my goodness, I've lost up to, I think my record is like 80 pounds. I'm like Luther Van Dross. I'm inflatable man. In the past, depending on what season you see me, I could be big or small. But four pounds, I'm thinking to me, I just floated past that. But no, that was a big deal because that was the start of something. I've had people in my life lose a ton of weight, but it started with that four pounds. So that's progress. That's not the goal, that's not the finish line. Even a little bit. Measure it. So progress, that feels good. Hopping on those scales, walking further than you did yesterday. Scoring better on a test, playing a little better on the tennis court, quitting pickleball. Oh, that's progress. The second one, connection. Make a connection. And that by that I mean being understood or valued sincerely when someone gives you that look or something hits. Someone said to me something the other day, it was after I, the O talk, worth the wait. And they said something to me, and I knew what they had been through. A lot of struggles. And they said something about an experience with me being worth the wait. And that hit me hard. But I am insignificant. I'm just a I'm just a blip. And that they valued something I said that much, man. A tear was coming out. Literally. I'm not being dramatic. That that felt good. It felt so good. So these connections, playing music and be able to look across the stage at a buddy who just nailed something, giving them a wink or just a look like, dude, you killed it. That's a connection. It's so important, whether it's just momentarily or a deep conversation for an hour and a half. That connection feels good. Also, there's some relief out there. The relief can feel great. Pressure coming off your shoulders. Maybe it's debt. Maybe it's a decision you need to make. Maybe it's a tough conversation you've been dreading for a while and it happened. Maybe it's getting through a certain time in your life or over an illness or the illness of a loved one. All of that. Oh, the relief. It's fantastic. And then there's clarity. Clarity. And just basically knowing what to do next. Yeah. Here are my options. Okay. It's clear. This is how I should go. Clarity is so important. And that's why focus is important. Because focus will give you clarity when you give it a chance. And then the just the last one I'll cover is contribution. Contributing to something. Being a part of something that matters. Making someone else's day better. Lightening some light lightening someone else's load. Helping them. All of that. That feels good. That feels good. Now here's where it gets interesting. A lot of times you have planned versus just organic feel-good moments. You can plan moments. And what I mean by that is a vacation. I love that. I've got two or three planned, and it's hard to it's hard to get too excited about the one two away because I'm so pumped up for this. I'm going to I'm going to Maryland Deathfest with my boy. Five days. Ooh. Can't wait. After that, I'm going to New Orleans with Brandon and Vic. Oh, it's two weeks after that. Sometimes I'm so excited about New Orleans, I just jump over Maryland Death Fest. And who would do that? Then other times I'm thinking, oh, and in the fall, to have those things to look forward to, that's great. But those are planned. You don't know exactly what's going to happen as far as what we're going to laugh about, what's going to be fun, but you have a pretty good idea that it's going to happen. That's great. Or maybe a big purchase. You got something coming up, a new house, a new car, the GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip. Whatever you plan. That's exciting. Those are good moments. That feels good. Or maybe it's a birthday party or a retirement party. Or I was recently at a celebration of life that was, it felt good. I didn't know, I didn't know the lady as much as that passed as much as I knew her son. But to see him in a good spot and everybody that loved her gather, whether it was for her or for the family that was left alive or on or whatever you want to call it, it was good. That celebration. It's fantastic. There's the celebration is planned. And then you've got milestones, birthdays, different things. Retirement parties. I love retirement parties. And they have even, you know, they have they have marriages, and then that's a weddings are great. And then they have divorce parties, which those I've found out are pretty good too. Whatever. Those are planned. But then there's the organic ones are the ones that those are the ones that fill me with an unexpected warmth. Like I said it earlier that that first cup of coffee of the day. Yeah, I planned that, but no, the first sip is never exactly the same because the app something's going on. The hummingbird comes up and buzz my nose while I'm taking a drink. Hey, you want a sip, buddy? That wouldn't happen any that wouldn't happen again. Exactly like that. Maybe you've got that something comes to you. I said this earlier, to solve a problem or an approach, or the wording of something, or I have songwriters for friends, and you know, that that moment that turns into a melody that's organic. Yeah. Or just maybe a random compliment that you receive or you give someone. Yeah, man, you're good in that shirt. What that shirt really brings out the red in your eyes. Or maybe it's just a moment of stillness. Moment of stillness. I love having people over to the house. And sometimes you look forward to something for quite a while. And I just spent five days. My son was here. We hit it hard. We got in three, one in the morning, we didn't get until 4 30 in the morning. And we weren't doing crazy stuff. We're just having a good time. And then when he and CC left, they got the car and drove away. I was a little sad. What? We've been together for five days, 24 hours a day. What is what do you do? And then I get in and he sat in my recliner all weekend, so I lost my chair, but I sat down with something to drink, just sat down and didn't turn the TV on or anything. It was just like, huh. And it felt good. Not that anyone had left, not that I was alone. Just that moment of stillness felt it felt so good. Planned moments are louder. You expect it, you plan for it, you build around it, and then boom, go. But organic moments are deeper. To me, in my opinion. Most people spend their whole life chasing the loud ones. We'll do this and we'll do that, and it'll be great. And it is. But while we're ignoring the ones that actually sustain those loud moments, the quiet times. The times that I have a deep conversation with I I won't even name their names, but those quiet, organic moments make the loud ones ten times better. And what this feeling really is, let's get it straight. It's not hype. It's not that surface level happiness. It's not pretending everything is great. People that do that, yeah. The feel-good moment is that alignment between what you're doing and who you really are. Those things come together internally, you are in the right spot and it feels great. That brief distance from internal conflict. You're all tore up inside. That's why so many times I talk to people, and I mean it's a serious conversation. Maybe something horrible has happened, but then you have that moment of levity, or someone makes a joke, and for that brief moment, it's created distance between you and your internal conflict. That pause, so now you can get back into it. But for that moment, that felt good, and you were here, and thank you for that. Yeah, you don't have to be sitting crisscross applesauce on your kitchen floor, totally totally vulnerable and crying about something that's going on, and your whole world has come crashing down. And in that you can have a moment of levity, of compromise with everything coming down. No, we're still here. I'm still on fire, I'm still strong. That distance between that internal conflict for just a moment. I feels good. Or that sense that right now, for this moment in time, nothing needs fixing.

unknown

What? What?

SPEAKER_00

I remember at home many times, oh, the roof's leaking. I've got a plumbing issue, I've got electrical, oh the yard needs mowing, oh I got this. My kids got the sniffles. I had a headache. I got it. But right now, nothing. Or at work, I'm meeting my deadlines. I've got things going. I've answered all my calls. My calendar looks exactly the way I wanted to. The words are coming to me today. I'm on a roll. And for this moment, there's no crisis. Nobody's hair is on fire. No HR problems. Ooh. Or when you're doing something, you're going for a run, and the wind is just right. Nice breeze. Not too hot, not too cold. Your feet feel good. Things are going well. Playing golf. You're nailing your driver and you've sunk a 30-foot putt. For now, everything is good. It can be fleeting. It can be fleeting. And it's, yeah, it can be emotional, but it's not drama. It's real. For right now, it's good. The chaos has parted. And the thing, it's not an absence of chaos out there. You can't think your way into euphoria. However, that moment can give you clarity that helps solve the others. That's why the quiet moments or organic moments, forgetting my own terminology, the organic moments are deeper and carry you through the loud moments or the loud chaos, whatever it is. And the thing is, it's available more than you think. We just pass by it. So how do we feel it more? Let me get a sip of coffee. It's not the first sip, but it's the next one. How can we feel it more? Because they're there. They're there. We skip over 50% of them according to the study. First thing, and I think one of the most important things, slow down. Slow down. Don't try to get to the finish line so quickly. When something goes right, it doesn't mean we have to quickly move to the next task. Basketball, I was a street shooter. I live in Vegas, gambling, you're on a roll. Keep going, keep going. With these moments, take them. Slow down. Savor it. Take ten seconds and oh, that was good. Slow down. Don't try to finish so quickly. Second one, call it out. Real time. Literally say to yourself, that felt good. Man. It locks the moment in. It benchmarks it. B-E-N-C-H. My nose is a little stuffy, and it sounded like I said a different thing there. I have a buddy, and I've done it ever since. We were acquaintances that became friends, and it we became very close friends. But we would go out and eat lunch most every day when we worked together. And we'd be just having a normal laughing, talking, eating, whatever. And he would take a bite and ooh, oh, that was a good bite. Dude, you've got a whole plate of food, a whole tray of food, if you will, and you pick that one bite out. What was different about that bite? I can relate. You ever have a I remember mom would make pancakes and sausage and scrambled eggs. And you get the right amount of butter on the pancake and the right amount of syrup. Not too much. You don't want to be just sloppy. But you would stack it up. You would get a little egg, a little pancake, and then spear some sausage and one bite. Oh, that's a good bite. I still do it today, and if you know me, you know I do it. The thing is, that calls it out in real time. And you remember it. I remember that bite from when I was a kid at home. And you look for that bite again. Sometimes you can't manufacture it, it just happens. So when you get that good bite, when you get that moment, call it out, locks it in. Another one, so you feel it more is reduce the noise. I constantly have noise. I've got tinnitus in both ears because I stand close to amplifiers with no earplugs. Don't harass me. It doesn't work. Reduce the noise. And by noise I mean scrolling, doom scrolling, the distractions. You can't feel anything if your attention is scattered. And people who've around me now, yeah, there are times when I'm on my phone. I'm usually looking to answer a text or something or making sure my kids are okay or whatever the case. I turn my phone off now. I turn my phone off now. I when I was with Will the last few days, I didn't answer. I looked, but I didn't answer. Nope. I'm focused on those times so I can organically suck up all the moments. I'm going to go away with some friends here before long, and I will check to make sure my kid's okay, but I'm not returning texts. I'm not going to be scrolling. My phone will probably be off. And that helps me enjoy the moment. No distraction. If it's not off, it's definitely the sound is off. Reduce that noise. And you know what your noise is. Look around. What's taking you away? If you have to, if you're in a conversation and you have to ask them to repeat what they said, not because it wasn't loud enough, just because you were distracted, okay, that's a sign. You need to reduce some noise. And then stack the small wins. That's gonna help you. That's gonna help you. Don't wait for the big victories. You want the big victories, you want the loud victories, you want all the yes. However, momentum, momentum of a small win here. Oh, I saw them nice. How are you doing? Good to see you. Boom. You just got these small wins. Get a compliment. You did well on a presentation. You nailed that drive. You sunk that putt. Good hug. Oh, I've got some people in my life that give the best hugs. All these small wins because you're benchmarking that moment. You're remembering it. It feels good because momentum often feels better than magnitude of a big thing. Because the magnitude, yeah, it comes. It's like watching baseball and just waiting for a home run. Yeah, or a grand slam. Okay, how often do those happen? Not too often. They're great. They're glorious, especially if it's your team. However, what about that great play? What about the strategy there? What about all the different things going on, the fun of the crowd? And if you don't have a home run in that game and that's all you're looking for, you walk away defeated. But I go in, I love the music, I love the energy of the crowd, I love the food. And the ballgame is great if we win or whatever. But there's so many things because I'm not looking for the magnitude of that home run. I'm looking for the experience and all the little things. Stack those small wins. And then be intentional. This is a buzzword that I got sick of it. Be intentional. But it fits here perfectly. Be intentional with your day. Even a loose plan, it gives your brain something to measure against. No, have a loose plan. I've got today, I've got loose plans for the morning, loose plans for the afternoon, and loose plans for the night. If nothing comes up, I'll knock those loose pens out. But they're loose enough to let in those moments. And now I'll be able to recognize progress, stack the small wins, reduce that noise, call it out in real time, and slow down and enjoy it. It's so important. Yeah. Also, you can be that feeling of man, that feels good for somebody else. It's not difficult. Give appreciation. Give them a compliment. Not just something generic, something specific. You know, they're doing something. I don't mean to interrupt, but you are so good at this. What you're doing, you're so good at this. I can't wait to hear the rest. David, you're telling me to interrupt somebody? Sometimes it is. If you're feeling it, benchmark that moment for them. Do it. Girls are great at this. Compliments, whatever. Sincere. They need to be sincere. But here's a compliment for a guy. Here's how, here's how Neanderthal we are. Anything can be happening. And you just look at them like, dude. You didn't have to say anything. Received. Thanks, bro. I don't know why I'm talking like this. But it's true. That's appreciation. Do it. Yep. That's a moment for them, and it's organic. Making eye contact when they're talking and actually listening, you put that phone away. And even if something's coming in your peripheral, you can just wave them off. I waved somebody off the other day, and then I had to go find them and say, sorry to do that. But man, we were in a deep conversation. Oh, no problem, man. And when I'm talking to this guy, now you got me, man. I'm locked in. Make eye contact and listen. You'll be amazed at how that makes them feel heard. And that's their moment. Feels good. And then something small that you promised. It could be small, but it's big to them. Yeah, I'll drop by or I'll come see you or I'll do this. And then do it. They probably don't expect it. But you do. Everything from I can't stand it when people are like being on time to actually getting on the flight you booked. Wow. That's a small thing, but uh, some it's important to some people. Or lightening somebody else's load, and don't announce it. They might not even know who did it. Lighten somebody's load. Encourage them. Give them confidence. You can do this, man. You can do this. And then bring energy into a room instead of emotion. Bring energy into a room instead of going into a room to soak up the energy. No. Be the light. Be that punch. Be that shot of Red Bull. I don't even drink Red Bull. Yeah, because it's not believe it or not, it's not all about you. But here's the thing. Once you do that, once you give somebody that moment that feels good to you too. Yeah. And you can create these moments for other people. Yeah. Here's the thing that most people skip. If you don't pause to feel it, it didn't really happen. Not in the way that matters. Yeah, it was on there. Okay, yeah, I'll put it in the it's like trick-or-treating. Yeah, trick-or-treat, boom, candy, boom, candy, boom, candy. And then you get home and you found, oh wow, look at this. They gave the full-size Snickers. What? Who did that? You don't remember. But if you look in the bag every time something goes in, or you notice what they're putting in there, instead of just grabbing and doing it yourself, which is a quick way now, you appreciate it more. Oh, the Johnsons gave away. Yeah. And you'll go come back home and tell your parents, I'm as a little kid again right now, by the way, oh, the Johnsons are giving away full-size Snickers. That's because you took a moment and you just didn't take all this candy for granted all day long. Yeah. Pause. Show appreciation. Gratitude. And it hits. Yeah, it's not just a series of events. It's a series of experienced moments. That's what your life is. And if you don't experience them, you're just checking boxes. These moments need to be taken in, so slow down and appreciate it. Pause. Yeah. You don't need a new life, a new situation, a bunch of new stuff to feel better. All you need is to notice what you've already got. It's here. It's all around you. It always is. You're skipping over 50% of it. And there are moments every single day that hit just right. I hope I recognize some in the next 30 minutes. And I will. Because it's a decision that you make. A laugh. Something amusing. A TikTok of the dogs picking their owners or people falling. I love those where the person, the two people in one is doing erratic movements to see if the other one follows them or mirrors them. Slays me. Yeah. But then again, it's that quiet win or that peace that you give. All of these are moments that you need to so soak up, soak in, hold on to. They're just for the most part underappreciated. So when one shows up, don't rush past it. Sit on it. Own it. Wallow around in it. And let it land. Because those moments, that's the good part. And you got more of them than you think. So I hope this hits home. It feels good. Man, it feels good. So hit me up. Tell me what you think. Tell me those moments in the last 10 minutes and send an email. I will love them. David at Otalks.com, Davidotalks.com, or just go to the website, tells you how to get a hold of me. I appreciate it. Feel better. Stuff's going on around you that's chaos. But in that chaos are the moments that will land if you let them. So thanks so much. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for hanging on. But most of all, thanks for O talking with Dave. Giddy Up.
