Summary

There’s nowhere lonelier in the world than rock bottom.  It’s a place where overwhelm, anxiety, and uncertainty feel relentless, and the total weight of your burden makes moving forward seem impossible. Staying down is a choice, but it’s one that you really can’t afford to make. Before you pick yourself up, you need to know exactly where you are. When you recognize where the demons holding you down come from, you can see the path you need to take to fight back and regain control.  It’s not about hacks, quick fixes, or the perfect framework. It’s about facing the hard truth head-on, with squared shoulders, and taking action, even when the easy choice is to stay down. In this episode we cover: The three most common responses to overwhelm and a “salty” alternative How to categorize our stressors so we can divide and conquer Self discrepancy theory and making peace with our whole selves Investing in yourself and the pitfalls of “playing tight” To get the most out of this episode, and every episode in our library, download our free bonus reflection question sheets.
