In this episode, the first of the new decade Pat share's 5 Personal Development Practices for 2020, that are simple, but certainly not easy! 

This is Part 2 of a two-part podcast where Pat brings us through a plethora of strategies to help us overcome overthinking. When we overthink we can more often than not lean into the negative aspects of the subject matter we're focussed on. We break down detail that would normally be inconsequential and instead decide that it is one of many reasons why we should or should not pursue something. It too can often lead to no action being taken due to a kind of thought based paralysis, or poor decision making in haste when our minds have over-complicated a problem.

When athletes bear witness to a new world record in their respective field, it's common, if not expected, that many others will quickly follow in their footsteps and set similar or new records. This is in part due to the mental embargo they have on possibility, until someone shows them what is really possible, to go beyond belief. 

We do this in our lives, with our relationships, with our careers and most of all in our hopes and dreams. Setting a bar, within reason, lowering our own ceiling, and for what? Today Pat discusses some ideas which can help us to raise the roof on our comfort zone, to defy our own self imposed odds and to achieve the greatness we know deep inside is really possible.
