What if you could motivate yourself without infecting your body with misery? Not only will you get more done, but you’ll experience a joy for life that you
Ever found yourself spiraling into stress over something that turned out to be a lot less catastrophic than you imagined? Bob Gardner tackles this very human experience in this episode of 'Alive and Free'. He dives into how we unconsciously manipulate our emotions to push ourselves into action, a habit we've been honing since childhood. But here's the kicker: this self-manipulation often leads to more harm than good.
Bob reveals how these emotional tactics can poison our happiness and peace of mind, creating a cycle of misery and anxiety. In this episode, Bob shares his personal experiences with what he calls the 'Horror Stories Motivation Method'. It's the tendency to craft catastrophic future scenarios that ramp up our anxiety, all in a bid to motivate ourselves. Sound familiar? Bob explains how this approach backfires, leading to tension in the body and disrupted breathing patterns.
He then offers a refreshing perspective on how to motivate yourself without the emotional fallout. Bob also delves into the concept of 'Mini Manipulations', those small, sneaky ways we sabotage our joy while trying to push through tasks. Whether it's finishing a nagging business project or dealing with everyday stressors, these manipulations can nuke our sense of well-being. Bob's insights are both eye-opening and practical, providing listeners with tools to break free from these self-imposed traps.
If you've ever felt trapped by your own thoughts and emotions, this episode is a must-listen. Bob encourages us to question our ingrained narratives and let go of old stories that no longer serve us. By doing so, we can move towards a life filled with genuine joy and freedom from addiction. Tune in to learn how to stop manipulating yourself and start living uncomfortably happy.
