Because We Can

Our Constant Pressure To Keep Up | Why We Desire To Be The "Cool Kid" (Episode 7)


Listen Later

Hey BWC Fam!

Have you stopped and asked yourself lately WHY you TRULY WANT what YOU WANT? 

In this day in age we are constantly bombarded by media that depicts people persistently exceeding societal expectations.

If social media never existed, would you STILL DESIRE what it is YOU DESIRE? 

After noticing how devastated I felt every time I put myself down for not being where I wanted to be -- if I'm being honest, for not being where someone else was -- I had to ask myself these same questions.

In doing so what I discovered was a new integration of what we once referred to as, "Keeping Up With The Joneses." This same phenomenon has now gained a new face and is what we call today as "Cool Kid Syndrome."

- What does it mean to have "Cool Kid Syndrome?"

- Could this be a prime reason for our feelings of discontentment, unfulfillment, and dissatisfaction with ourselves, our lives, and our dreams?

- What effects can Cool Kid Syndrome have on our wellbeing and future potential?

- How can we connect on a deeper level with ourselves and build a greater belief in our unique gifts and abilities?

I was dying to know how I could overcome the incessant pressures of having to be EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE ALL THE TIME. 

What about you? Have you been curious to know too? 

I would love to hear more about your experiences with "Keeping Up With The Joneses" and breaking free from "Cool Kid Syndrome."

Leave a heart down below if this resonated with you. 💙
