Have you ever had a dream that excites you… but the work to make it real feels like a mountain? Decisions pile up, each one more complicated than the last, and suddenly you put off your project—or give up on it entirely.

That's the scenario Philip Simmons was facing. He's a Los Angeles artist with a considerable body of portraits. He’s interested in putting on an art  show, but as he flips through stacks of his drawings and paintings, the belief that “It’s Too Much Work” gets in the way. Together, we slow down to question that belief—and discover what happens when the weight of 'too much' begins to lift.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a project or a goal, this episode might help you find a way to turn that towering mountain into one simple step forward.

Your Thoughts at Work is a podcast where we explore the beliefs that quietly shape our experience of work, and sometimes, our whole identity. Each episode features a guest—often anonymous—working through a painful or limiting belief using a method of self-inquiry called The Work of Byron Katie. You can learn more about this powerful method at thework.com.

To be a guest on the podcast, or find out how I can support you or your team with work related stress, email [email protected] or go to selfinquiry.ca.
