The Inner Strategist

Elaine Blidgeon hosts a podcast exploring the challenge of comparing oneself to others, which can lead to inadequacy and stress. She questions the possibility and benefits of completely halting comparison. Despite acknowledging that comparison can fuel ambition, it also triggers negative emotions. Elaine draws from her experiences with curb envy, demonstrating how external influences affect goals and motivation. She suggests reviewing goals driven by comparisons ("curb envy goals") to discern their true value and avoid pursuing unfulfilling objectives. By comprehending these triggers, individuals can take charge of their mindset for a more purposeful life journey through her Mind Controlled Life podcast.

Peace of mind is what most if not all of us want but while we try and achieve this, if we have any angst in our lives it's almost impossible to achieve. In this podcast I outline my shock and surprise of just how much brain space I have now I have stopped volunteering at a place that was not at all enjoyable and was stressful to me. I was shocked because I hadn't really made the connection between the amount that is on my mind and the amount of work I can get done. My trigger for this was boredom. Boredom signified that I have nothing negative on my mind so now's the time to fill it with 'stuff' I actually want to achieve.
