I think it’s really important what we tell ourselves in the pursuit of our best life and living out the best versions of ourselves, and I think we can actually shut down our momentum / our progress when we set ourselves up with the wrong framework or the wrong expectations.   I don't believe we can “be anything we want to be,” and the blind pursuit has left many people feeling unfulfilled or “less than.”    At the very least, comparison of your lot in life, of your day-to-day existence, of your body or your home, your job or your business, of your vacations, of your accomplishments - that comparison will kill your joy - but worse - that comparison and the “falling short” of it all will oftentimes kill the version of you that IS possible.     Can we be whatever we want to be? Whatever we wish to be? No, I don’t think so. But, there's better news.   GET THE SHOW NOTES: https://www.onairella.com/post/313-living-with-intention  Download your PERSONAL MANIFESTO here.

"Your brain is wired to keep you alive, not to keep you happy." - Britt Frank What is really going on with all that procrastination and self-sabotage? What if our problem isn’t a lack of motivation? What if the solution is something other than beating ourselves up or just trying harder? But how do we make the leap between thinking and doing? In this episode with Britt Frank: Why don’t we do the things we know we’re supposed to? Why can’t we think ourselves forward when we feel stuck? Why are the words “lazy” and “unmotivated” completely false? Procrastination and self-sabotage and other fallacies that keep us stuck The difference between accountability and shaming Motivation and brain function - what actually works SHOW NOTES: https://www.onairella.com/post/312-get-unstuck  Follow Ella on Instagram @onairwithella  PARTNER PROMOS: Shop organic, hexane-free Castor Oil - 10% Off Code: ONAIRWITHELLA10 for any order of $59 or more!
