Clarity on Fire

Side Chat: Copping out vs. letting yourself off the hook


Listen Later

Life is hard. We know this now, maybe more than ever.

And we all know that getting what you want isn't always rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes you've got to do crap you don't want to do because it's good for you, and it helps you get to the good stuff in life.

So, if we're struggling to commit to something difficult, does that mean we're copping out? Shouldn't we just suck it up and get on with it, because yeah, life is hard but we're resilient and capable of doing hard things?

Maybe. But also … maybe not. On this brand-new side chat, we're teasing apart the difference between copping out and letting yourself off the hook. We talked about…

  • A thing Rachel was for sure copping out about, and another thing that she's still struggling to figure out.
  • A thing Kristen thought she was copping out about, but realized she needed to let herself off the hook for.
  • The signs and indicators that you need to let yourself off the hook, vs. when you need to be an adult and just do the thing.

After you've listened, leave us a comment to share something you've been struggling to commit to, and whether you think you've been copping out or if you should maybe give yourself a break.
