Summary
It can be disappointing to feel that your hard work doesn’t match up to the results that you see or that amount of success that you achieve. But you may be thinking the wrong way about success. As it turns out, success doesn’t follow a linear path. Listen in to hear Rachael and Kelsea discuss the mindset that people tend to have about their goals, how your brain looks for causality, and what this all has to do with diet culture. Learn why you shouldn’t give up when your hopes and outcomes don’t seem to match up with the amount of work you put in.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
- The mindset around the goals people set for themselves
- Linking things with causes in your brain
- When your hopes don’t match up with the amount of work you put in
- How the desire for causality between work and success fuels diet culture
- Ways that you can set yourself up for success
