b'Welcome to Big Idea Tuesday!\\xa0\\nOn today\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru Purohit talks about why it\\u2019s a great time to slow down and reflect and five critical life questions to ask during self-quarantine.\\n\\n\\nAre you constantly worrying about letting others down?\\n\\nIs it extremely hard for you to speak up about what you want and don\\u2019t want?\\n\\nDo you feel guilty pursuing your goals and dreams?\\n\\nDo you please others to avoid short-term pain, but underestimate the pain of living a life of regret?\\n\\nDoes the critical inner voice in your head prevent you from even starting?\\n\\n\\nAt some point in your life, you come to a crossroads where you have to ask yourself, "Whose life am I living?"\\u2063\\n\\u2063\\nAm I living a life true to me? Or am I suppressing my goals and dreams to appease my parents, my boss, society, or some authority figure?\\u2063\\n\\u2063\\nLiving a life true to you is scary. It usually requires you to set boundaries and remind those around you that your life is your own to live.\\u2063\\n\\u2063\\nEasier said than done, of course. \\u2063\\n\\u2063\\nSetting boundaries and breaking expectations can be so painful, especially with the ones we love the most.\\u2063\\n\\u2063\\nBut you know what is much more painful? Living a life filled with regret. And then one day waking up on your deathbed, realizing the opinions and projections of others were not as important as we once thought they were.\\u2063\\n\\u2063\\nNo one has written about this more eloquently than Bronnie Ware, author of the Top Five Regrets of the Dying.
