The Body and The Beast

Ep130 - FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY


Listen Later

Ever feel like fear is holding you back?

That anxiety, stress, and discomfort are keeping you stuck? You’re not alone. But here’s the truth: that fear might be the exact thing pointing you in the right direction.

In today’s episode, Jay and Dan break down how fear isn’t your enemy—it’s actually your North Star.

They dive into why procrastination and excuses keep people stuck, why most don’t take action until everything is already broken, and how to start listening to the signals your mind and body are giving you before it’s too late.

Plus, they tackle the infamous boiling frog analogy, the power of writing things down, and why most people spend too much time on pointless tasks instead of just doing the thing that matters.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

If you’ve been sitting in a rut, avoiding something big, or just feeling overwhelmed by fear, this episode is a game-changer.

✔️ Why fear, anxiety, and discomfort are actually signals that you’re on the right path
✔️ How overthinking and procrastination trick you into feeling productive (when you’re actually not)
✔️ The boiling frog effect – how small, unnoticed problems can silently ruin your life
✔️ The simple three-part framework: Time, Money, and Skills – and how to use it to your advantage
