The Feel Good Factor: Tips for joy, fulfilment and wellbeing in business, life and creativity

This episode of The Feel Good Factor is all about Control vs Power. It never occurred to me to think of them as two separate things. Then I read Katherine Morgan Schafler’s book and my jaw dropped. Wow! It explained so much about why certain things in my business past have worked and why other things were a frustrating mess. Haha

I've recently started a habit. Whenever I'm reading a book, if something really pops out at me, I neatly transcribe it into a notebook. Physically writing things down, pen to paper, is such a different experience from copy/pasting an excerpt into your notes app, or highlighting a snippet in your ebook reader.

It's been doing some interesting things to my brain, so I had to share my experience with you on this episode, and tell you why you might like to start this habit too.

Knowing our natural tendencies, capacities and limitations, accepting them, and making decisions in alignment with them goes a long way to make life smooth and pleasant. Some challenges in life deserve to be taken on, but most challenges are totally unnecessary and so not worth the effort and attention we give them. You don’t have to prove something all the time!

Getting too into our heads is a major cause of first procrastinating, then abandoning new projects, habits, ideas, etc.

Listening to a chapter from Oliver Burkeman’s upcoming book, Meditations for Mortals jolted me awake from a slump. So I had to talk about the simple power of just doing something instead of thinking about doing it in this episode!

Fear is only as powerful as we allow it to be. I recalled one of my favourite episodes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer today and had to laugh with you about it. Enjoy!

In the Unstoppable Force & Immovable Object paradox, the theory is everything comes to a complete standstill. But what does it mean to be a truly unstoppable force in business, and creativity? And also, where in our life do we need to become the immovable object?
