089: Put the Personal Development Book Down, and Pick Up Something Fun Instead
If you’re a longtime listener of this show, you’re probably - like me! - a big fan of personal development content. But in this episode, I’m sharing how personal development work can be a slippery slope. Working on yourself is an admirable goal, but I’m learning that not only is it okay to sit and be happy with where you are today, it’s a necessary step to our overall growth and development.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
If you’re finding yourself bored or uninspired by personal development content, listen to what your gut is telling you. Watch a reality show, listen to a true crime podcast, or listen to music instead of educational content on your daily walk.
Bring some lightheartedness into your daily routines that are usually full of relentless hustling. Play and laughter are important and allow us to relax, unwind, and not take ourselves so seriously.
There is nothing wrong with you, and you don’t need to be fixed. Give yourself a break from the idea that we need to constantly grow and develop in order to be “better.” You are good enough just as you are.
Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
