A popular trap for us high-achieving dreamers is the tendency to indulge in perfectionism and all or nothing thinking. We would rather do nothing than do a little thing or go nowhere rather than getting halfway somewhere. What a noble way to slow ourselves down! In this episode, I talk about how to make sure you don't let these obstacles get in the way of achieving your goals and pursuing your dreams.

One of our strongest human desires is to belong - and that's why we are sometimes willing to change who we are in order to be love. When we were children, it was a matter of survival.

This is what we discuss in this week's episode.

Selfishness has a bad reputation and I want to change that, because I believe that being selfish (a.k.a. doing more of what we really want) allows us to offer a much higher quality of selflessness.

When a loved one is unhappy with their life, it's easy to barge in with our strong opinions about what they should do to feel good again. If only they would follow our advice, everything would be so much better, right?! But that's not how relationships work... and we can fall into a trap of endless frustration if we expect others to do as we tell them.

We take action to improve our lives or achieve our goals, but sometimes the results don't seem to follow no matter how much effort we put in. So we try something else - like a new routine or another software... But too often forget to question the energy that fuels our actions, and I think that's where we get stuck. In this episode, I explore how the same action can lead to better results by changing our underlying thoughts and feelings.
