Permission To Explore Podcast

Last week, Kellie discussed the pros and cons of starting her new health related routine - a physical undertaking. How many of you resonate with what she shared? This week, Lindsey is sharing the pros and cons of starting her new endeavor - and it's little more...abstract. More creative. Any time we undertake a new thing, we're going to find pros and cons - costs and rewards - and they aren't always the same things. The confidence or the challenges may change depending on the undertaking. Some aspects makes be easier than others...how do you navigate that? For Lindsey, the biggest challenge has revealed some interesting patterns: She is very uncomfortable when things are 'easy' for her. Con: She manufactures a struggle - a bit of an addiction to struggle and being on the struggle bus. Have you heard a voice in your head telling you 'it's not ok for something to be easy'? A pro: leaning into creativity for fun has created more creativity in business. Another pro: using creativity for good (writing) versus evil (anxiety and worry). One thing to consider: When you say yes to one thing, what are you saying no to? Another thing to consider: How long have you been contemplating this activity? What's causing the resistance that's keeping you from starting? The biggest pro AND con of starting any new thing: Recognizing the patterns! And we promise: You're ok. It's ok. You're ok.
