Healthy habits are important for our wellbeing and performance. However, if we become obsessive about our behaviors related to work, food, money, exercise, achievement, and more – it can be detrimental and even dangerous. On this episode I talk about how and why some things we consider positive can become problematic and how to keep things in perspective when it comes to taking care of ourselves and creating success.
For us to succeed individually and collectively, it’s important to be able to put forth the necessary effort and work hard. However, feeling the pressure and expectation of constantly hustling (i.e. hustle culture) can be incredibly dangerous and damaging. On this episode I talk about the paradox of this phenomenon, and ways we can be conscious, healthy, and effective in how we work and live.
Some of our emotions are easier for us to feel than others. We tend to avoid certain feelings, especially the ones that seem hard, scary, and not all that socially acceptable. However, being able to feel all of our emotions authentically is one of the most important and liberating things we can do for ourselves, our relationships, and for our personal and professional wellbeing. On this episode I talk about how we can stop blaming our feelings on the people and circumstances around us, and I share some specific ways we can start feeling our emotions with a greater level of depth and ownership.
As the saying goes, “the only constant in life is change.” Like most cliches, this one is true. During this back-to-school season, it seems like a lot of us, myself included, are navigating some big changes these days. On this episode, I talk about some of the things that make change both exciting and scary, and I share some specific things we can do to navigate change authentically and effectively.
In many important areas of our lives and businesses we often want things to be different (i.e. better) than they are. However, one of the things that gets in our way of creating the kind of changes that we truly want, is our willingness to believe that they can be different in the first place. On this episode, I talk about the paradoxical nature of change and some specific ways we can allow things to be different in a healthy and authentic way.
