  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Every Day A New Thought.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, thor Chalgren, and each weekday I share new thought perspectives.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Today I'm going to wrap up the four-part series I've been doing this week, called Put Yourself First, and I'm going to do it with a challenge.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It's this what are you doing the next two months?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: In the free training series I have and you can find the link in the show notes I talk about the idea of a two-month purpose.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Many of us, when we leave one season in our lives like being a parent, raising a family we look at the rest of our lives and we think that our purpose has to be that big.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Whatever I decide to do next is something that's going to be for the rest of my life.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That makes sense on one level, because raising a family was like 20 years longer.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: We think in that timeframe.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But what I want to say today and this is something that I cover in the free training series is that sometimes it's okay and it can actually help you to think in a smaller scale.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I suggest two months.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I suggest that you pick something that you can accomplish in two months' time and something that, at the end of which, will give you a possible new identity to try on.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: For example, maybe you decide to run a 5K race and you set the goal of running that race in two months.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So when you do now you can say you are a runner, you might like running, and now you can say I want to do more of that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe that then becomes a purpose for you.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Or you might say yeah, okay, I did that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: What else is next?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Then you can try on a different two-month purpose.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So if you're in a place where you're pivoting from one thing to another, consider trying out a two-month purpose.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: In the free video training series I mentioned, I give you a big list of possible things that you could consider trying on for two months.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Or maybe you already know what you want to do.
• 2:31
