Ep 185: Getting Out of Your Own Way


Listen Later

Tools and insights for those who have dreams but are unable to take action toward them. This is about how to work with fear of success and fear in general. And most importantly looking at what is holding you back. Because when we don’t act the goal isn’t to force ourselves to act when we’re not ready. (Like, this is not about being pro-impulse. Because often there are real factors in our ambivalence.) The goal is to begin to understand why you are not acting so you can take the right steps.

 

This is for anyone who has an inkling that they’d like to do something and they cannot for the life of them get themselves to even try. It might be a job. It might be as simple as making a TikTok. (That’s my weird fear.) Or maybe you are absolutely SURE that something is meant for you, like you are mid-screenplay – but you watch yourself repeatedly be inactive on this front. Or you don’t even know where to start – and so you don’t.

 

Maybe it’s not even that explicit – maybe it’s just a general sense of procrastination. Or something weirder – like a general sense of resent or distaste for those who are successful at something in particular. That is because you are a magnet for this thing: you are reacting to it because it exists inside you! So use that feedback and take a listen.

 

This is life school, remember? We are here to grow. Let’s give this little seed some water. Small changes evoke massive, life-changing ones!

 

Here are the two links I mention:

Dr. Stutz’s website with more of his tools plus more about the Netflix doc “Stutz” that I mention:

https://www.thetoolsbook.com/

 

And the book, “The Artist’s Way” that I love:
