Motivation, Pressure, and Getting Off the Hamster Wheel
Do you depend on fear and self criticism to get motivated?
Does it seem like no matter how much progress you make you still feel anxious, tired, or under pressure?
And is success really just your strategy to outrun the things that scare you or make you uncomfortable?
Today I’m talking with Craig Revord who is a coaching client that I’ve been working with for the past two years. In this conversation we talk about how he’s learning to find power, face major fears, and get off the hamster wheel all while growing his business.
In this interview:
- Success and comfort are great until they’re not
- Having success but never feeling like it is enough
- Always feeling like we need to fix something about ourselves
- Striving to make sure everyone is okay before we are okay
- Running away from fears instead of learning how to confront them
Plus:
- “Successful” people whose lives are really shit-shows
- Learning to play your own game
- Looking to fear and pressure for motivation
- Can we be allies to ourselves and still be “successful”?
- The importance of consistent, bold action over time instead of looking for “inspiration” or peak experiences
