Episode 18 - Why is it so hard to be kind to yourself?

Listen Later

Clearly not a lot of progress since Sunday - but coming slowly out of the drug haze, which is just as well as I am at another airport, heading back home for a girly weekend with my mum.

Despite being ill, struggling with lack of progress.

  1. Need to remember to be kind to myself. Especially right now. Which is proving much harder than i would like.
  2. I need to be more focussed, to give myself permission to not do things, and relax a bit more, be less scattered.
  3. But need more accountability to force progress (whilst being kind). At what point is lack of progress an excuses?

    4. Imposter Syndrome

    • The importance of a coach / accountability.
    • You don’t want to disappoint somebody else - goes back to having a purpose/
    • In theory the founder groups im in, should be working with this, but it isn't - why not?
    • People not similar enough? Too far apart? Not enough structure? Not able to feel vulnerable? Feels too transactional?

      • Thank you to Jessica for recommending Deep Work: the importance of not being reactive, and really adding value. The example provided being, do you want to write a load of emails, or a book?
