Over the years, I have tried to learn to thrive. And I have tried to teach others how to thrive… even getting other experts to do the same.
But today, just for a moment, let’s assume you DON’T want to thrive. In fact, you want to… well, do the opposite of thriving! You want to be miserable and live a smaller life. You want to feel stuck and frustrated. (I’m not going to even explain WHY you would want to do that… let’s play a little mental game and pretend you just don’t want to thrive.)
What then?
How would you go about NOT thriving? How would you really make yourself as miserable as possible?
In this episode of the Thriveology Podcast, I start in on my Top 10 List of How NOT To Thrive. I cover 5 top ways to NOT thrive in this episode, and follow up with the other 5 in the next episode.
Why in the world would I do this?
Because if you know how to NOT thrive, then you can NOT do the NOT’s. You can do the opposite, and move toward thriving. It is also a good way to run through the list and see if you find yourself falling into any of the non-thriving traps. They are all around us! And sometimes, we are doing them… not even realizing it.
Listen below for part 1 of How To Guarantee You Don’t Thrive.

Ancient Stoics and Latin Christians believed that every day we should “memento mori,” we should remember our death. This practice was not to contemplate how you might die, but that you will die. As will I. And everyone else.
