Another lesson some of us are doomed to learn over and over again. This time it's about procrastinating, avoiding doing or otherwise being perennially indecisive about that thing you keep putting off. And how we keep forgetting how satisfying and easy (or at least nowhere-near-as-hard as you feared it would be), it was once you've done it.

My friend and fellow coach Ellie and I explore what goes on for us 'usually productive doers' when we're feeling under the weather. We talk about how to manage our energy levels, moods and motivation. How hard it can be slowing down, and why reflection and retreat isn't a frivolous luxury.

Anything worthwhile should be HARD WORK and worth SUFFERING for, right? And you must PUSH FORWARDS with urgency to get there. I’m beginning to wonder how helpful these beliefs are. And whether the opposite is true - the gentler you are with yourself, the more life unfolds in an agreeable way.

What turns you on? No not like that... I'm talking about our instinctual drives: social, sexual and self-preservation. How they play us, if we don't know what they're up to, and how to become more aware of them. This monologue is about the one-to-one aka sexual instinct in particular - creativity and desire. In this episode I'll challenge a few stereotypes and hopefully put you back in touch with yourself. You're an animal!
