In Season 2, Episode 17, we discuss how the feeling of experiencing great moments in life, can sometimes be followed by a lurking fear that something catastrophic is right around the corner.

Show Highlights:

• Exploring the phenomenon of feeling too good in life and the subsequent fear of impending catastrophe.
• Introduction to the "Upper Limit Problem," a concept from Gay Hendricks' book "The Big Leap," which delves into our self-imposed limitations in experiencing love, success, and creativity.
• Real-life examples illustrating the Upper Limit Problem, including scenarios like Sarah's dream vacation gone wrong due to illness, Rachel's self-sabotaging behavior in relationships, and Michelle's financial downfall following a significant promotion.
• Understanding the underlying causes of self-sabotage, including limiting beliefs rooted in childhood, societal conditioning, and past failures, as well as the fear of venturing beyond the comfort zone and the use of self-sabotage as a defense mechanism against vulnerability.
• The role of comfort zones and the subconscious mind's resistance to change, along with the amygdala's response to perceived threats, in contributing to the Upper Limit Problem.
• Strategies for overcoming the Upper Limit Problem, encompassing self-awareness, challenging limiting beliefs, self-compassion, celebrating achievements, expanding comfort zones, cultivating a growth mindset, seeking support, mindfulness and meditation, visualizing success, and lifelong learning.
• A personal anecdote emphasizing the importance of awareness in making choices aligned with happiness and embracing discomfort as a catalyst for personal growth and fulfillment.
