[Pre Epic 4] How to Believe New Things on Purpose
PRE EPIC SERIES
Last month, I shared a series called Do Your Epic Shit. And some common feedback was:
"This is amazing. AND.
I don't feel like this is my starting point.
I'm just overwhelmed, dysregulated, confused, and not able to take even small steps.
First I'd love to learn the basics. The foundational skills that will allow me to play hard and tolerate the discomfort of doing bigger things."
Friends, that makes SO much sense.
It's actually where I start with most of my 1:1 clients.
So this month on the podcast, we're laying the foundation with a new weekly series on Pre Epic Skills!
THIS WEEK
If you're a big strategy person, you may sometimes find yourself bewildered when your best laid plans don't produce the results you want.
You may spend time creating the most amazing, most scientifically based, most foolproof action plan.
And then you go out strong.
But two weeks later ... you crash and burn 🔥.
Maybe you've been doing this boom and bust cycle all your life.
You might be convinced that you're doom to fail.
Friend, if this is you, I want you to know there's hope.
You're not doomed.
You are 100% capable.
Here's what's been missing.
It's not the actions you take that determine your results.
It's the thoughts and emotions driving those actions.
If you're actioning from a place of shame, urgency, pressure, and dread, taking action is going to feel AWFUL.
You might be able to grind it out for a little while.
But eventually, it will become too painful to sustain.
That's the part where you quit — and then tell yourself that you're lazy, not good enough, always fail, etc., etc.
And here's the amazing part.
What if all you need to do to keep going is to tell yourself a new story that feels better?
That's exactly what you're going to learn in this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast.
You can believe anything you want.
So let's get you believing the opposite of what hurts.
Enjoy!
