2025 High Vibe In Death Valley

It’s time for a higher vibe to ring in the New Year and Death Valley is the place to do it. Details in 2025-High-Vibe-Death-Valley-Bob Davis Podcast 1154.

Staying To The Maximum

I came here to stay one or two nights and ended up extending to the maximum time.

As a matter of fact I could live here if they let me.

What a contrast to the Truck Stops of Las Vegas.

Especially the stars.

Largest National Park

Of course this is the largest National Park in the Lower 48.

Surprise

But at the holiday time of year I was surprised by the number of people camping up here.

Primitive Man

Certainly it’s true that our end of year rituals rooted in primitive man.

So it’s fair to suggest Christmas and New Year’s celebrations precede the Christian Era.

And our commercial hustle and bustle suggests a return to pagan roots for some.

Camping For Christmas and New Years

But I am still surprised at the number of people camping here for Christmas and New Years.

Primitive Roots

Accordingly this place has a lot of primitive history.

With this in mind the ghosts of Ancients, American Indians and Pioneers have a certain currency.

Ghosts

As well as the miners and entrepreneurs that built some of the best attractions in the Park as well as in the region around it.

History

Up to the present time this place has a lot of history.

Gratitude

Furthermore as a nomad I am grateful for the ability to enjoy places like this at length.

Vibe

The first thing to remember is the vibe in the campgrounds is high.

Campfire

Firstly every night there is a lot of talk around the campfire of where people camped and what they saw that day.

Crush Of Holiday Activities Back Home

Secondly and chiefly a huge relief and respite from the shopping and food and family intensity of Thanksgiving through the New Year.

Winter Solstice

Meanwhile the Winter Solstice is supposed to be for resting and refitting.

In addition for preparing our seeds to be planted in Spring.

In summary Death Valley is a special place with a lot of life!

Bob Davis Podcaster and You Tuber Talks About Life and the questions we might be asking when we're younger.

What-Makes-Your-Soul-Happy-Bob Davis Podcast 1144

What Makes Your Soul Happy

Above all what makes your soul happy? Recently after a week with a hundred plus degree fever I awoke to this question. Details in What-Makes-Your-Soul-Happy-Bob Davis Podcast 1144.

This Question

Firstly none other than Joseph Campbell suggested that as time goes on and we age we’re left with this question.

This Question Is Dangerous

Certainly when we’re young we don’t make the time for these kinds of thoughts,

Even more a thought like what makes your soul happy is even dangerous.

Because we’re bringing things into this world.

For example family, marriage, getting that great job, starting businesses and so on.

In short making our dreams come true.

But as we age eventually the world recedes and the body gives out.

Of course we know this.

Province of Any Age

Therefore while it is the province of age to nurture our soul it doesn’t hurt to devote some time to this question.

Another Year Of Nomad Life?

As a matter of fact as a nomad I had been considering whether I want to continue to do this.

Quartzsite Nomad Experience

In light of this question I suggest in this podcast that I felt I’d had it with the whole “Quartzsite Nomad Experience” last winter.

Wondering Why

And really wonder why I do this at all sometimes.

On the other hand there is the question of what makes my soul happy.

Looking Back

As an illustration some thoughts come to my about my own childhood.

Wild Child

Because I was a wild child much of my motivations and actions in life seemed impulsive.

Elemental.

No Plan Might Just Be A Plan

And yet my decisions to do this or that sometimes on a whim seemed to always work out.

Changes

Given these points I have been considering some changes and wondering whether I want to continue for a fifth year on the road.

To say nothing of the fever.

So when I woke up and asked myself that question…

The answers formed this podcast.

Winning-With-Procrastinaton-And-Laziness-Bob Davis Podcast 1142

Winning With Procrastination and Laziness

All things considered maybe we need to consider winning with procrastination and laziness. That is to say we’re over tasked and under appreciated. Details in Winning-With-Procrastinaton-And-Laziness-Bob Davis Podcast 1142.

Feeling Overwhelmed

Furthermore I am seeing plenty of posts from disaffected workers about how overwhelmed we feel.

Natural Man

Therefore in this podcast I first consider Natural Man or Ancient Man.

Chiefly the original hunter-gatherers in the mists of time.

For example the Celts…

Or the Plains Indian.

Clocks

In fact primitive clocks only go back to around 3500 BC. (By the way I announced the source for this statement as a ‘blogger’ named Jack Mason. In fact it is brand name for a watch!)

The Sun Moon And Stars

Balanced against our minute by minute and second by second world primitive man told time with the sun, the moon and the stars.

Technology

Of course the clock was a major technological improvement.

Teamwork

Even more I won’t go so far as to suggest that human beings are ever going to get anything done if they can work as a team to complete tasks.

However life today is getting a little ridiculous.

Time To Ourselves

To put it another way even at the dawn of the industrial age on through the 1980’s people had time to themselves.

Allow The Mind To Wander

Comparatively they had more time to allow their minds to wander.

Consequently while they were riding the train or bus…

Or driving to and from work…

Problem Solve

Their minds could rest and ‘problem solve’.

No Time For That Now

With this in mind the most compelling evidence for the use of procrastination and laziness as a tool for success is the fact that we have almost no time to do this these days.

Demand The Time

Hence we have to demand or take the time to be lazy and to put things off.

Laziness and Procrastination Are No Longer Negatives

With this in kind Winning-With-Procrastinaton-And-Laziness-Bob Davis Podcast 1142 is all about why procrastination and laziness are no longer negatives.

Recognizing The Need For Organization

So firstly while recognizing the need for organization and goal setting in business, family and corporate life…

What We Think We Have To Do

It’s also secondly realizing most of what we think we have to do isn’t really necessary.

Summer By The Lake

Finally the more I sit by the lake this summer…and to simplify.

Nightly Campfire

And mediate on the nightly campfire…

Happier

The more I think giving ourselves permission to win with procrastination and laziness the happier we will be!

Let Our Minds Work In The Background

In the final analysis I think a lot of the work of life takes place when we allow our minds to wander and attack a problem subconsciously.

Controlled By Modern Devices And Nonsense

Having said that often the problem is our devices and so called demands of life won’t allow our minds to work.

Given these points I understand why people demand remote work options and enjoy it so much.

In essence it’s time to realize if you put something off so you can be lazy…

You’re not a bum.

In fact you might be the smartest person in the room.
