EPISODE SUMMARY:
In this episode, we speak to Avi who studied maths at university but did not enjoy his analyst roles after graduating. He pursued his passion for fitness and became a personal trainer. Unveils how he struggled with depression for years due to letting responsibilities pile up and disappointments. Moving to Cardiff helped him realize he needed to change. His parents initially disapproved of him not following a traditional career path but are now supportive since he is doing well.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1. Take responsibility and respond to issues instead of letting them pile up. Avi's depression was caused by letting responsibilities and disappointments accumulate over time.
2. Have a "why". Knowing your deeper purpose and motivation can help you overcome challenges and stay motivated. Avi's "why" is to help others who struggle with depression and to make his parents proud.
3. Focus on progress, not goals. Avi realized that as long as he keeps working towards his goals, he is making progress, so he should be happier with where he is now instead of obsessing over reaching a goal every day.
BEST MOMENTS:
"I understand like this, the signs that will tell me okay, maybe I'm a bit depressed right now. Yeah. So probably evaluate my life a little bit and see what needs to be tuned up a little bit. So I can stop feeling this way."
"The day the goal is to be happy."
"The results are the things that that motivate you to keep going. That's to say, that's, that's why you go to a coach, because you're a bit frustrated. They you want to get the results you want. Just have someone to keep you accountable and stay on track and tweak things when it needs to be tweaked. It's always helpful."
