In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, shakes things up by airing an opposing perspective on why people take on other people's suffering.

We so frequently hold ourselves back from voicing our genuine truth or taking some action that would profoundly improve our life because we "don't want to hurt them."

What if it's not about them?  What if our hesitation is about our fears, our insecurities around disrupting the status quo, our selfishness?  Join in as Sean tackles some of the ways that this has played out with clients.

In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, shares a deep realization that he had about how people seek to grit or muscle their way through discomfort.

Recently, another wild fire broke out near Sean's home, which prompted a reactionary flare-up of frustration and exasperation.  "Haven't we had enough destruction already this year!!" and "We're not even in fire season!  There's still snow on the ground, how could we be having yet another wild fire so early in the year?!"

This caused Sean to reflect on a conversation that he had with a client about Sean's cold shower routine.  This routine has allowed Sean a daily practice of accepting discomfort, not as an exercise in 'slaying the dragon,' but as a means of practicing awareness and acceptance of what is.

In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, looks at the power of grief, specifically the grieving process, to help us actually address the challenges in our lives.

When people experience loss, especially loss of something deeply meaningful, it is natural to mourn that loss.  However, many people close themselves off from the pain and simultaneously keeping themselves from acknowledging the truth of their loss.  By not acknowledging the truth of their reality, they never set themselves into a position to actually move on.
