moving forward

We all know the feeling of wanting desperately to move on from someone - an ex, a past love, situationship, someone we know we shouldn't be with - but being unable to stop obsessively thinking about them. In this episode we explore the psychology behind why that is, but also how to get to the next stage of healing where you are free of the past memories, thoughts and your feelings for this person. We discuss: 

• The psychological need for emotional closure and how to provide YOURSELF closure 
• The Polyanna principle and positive bias for the past
• The chemical reason for obsession and unrequited 
• Anxious attachment and overthinking 
• The excuses that keep us invested in the wrong people 
• How to emotionally detach 
• The science of no-contact
• 10 tips for getting over someone you can't stop thinking about 

If you are struggling to move on, even though you've tried and are ready, this one is for you as we unpack how to move on from someone you can't stop thinking about.

Want to push towards success? Then take this one to heart. Everyone makes mistakes, but what you do with those mistakes is what makes you. Stop dwelling on them and use them as an example of what not to do again. Not one leader will tell you they’ve had everything go perfectly and exactly as planned. Take the shit that comes along with the riches and make your mistakes. Love this one guys, enjoy it :)

Too many of you ponder, think, strategize, and are crippled by doing things without having a master plan in place .. and you're going to lose. Dwelling is just simply the wrong strategy. We're far too crippled by things we can't control and we need to stop. If you have something you want to do .. attack !! Get things in motion, adjust on the fly, and put the things in place to help you succeed. Especially when it comes to content creation, too many of you are striving for perfection and that desire for perfection is the single variable that's going to make you lose. Don't overthink it. Just do. You'll learn far more by being in the dirt than by dreaming in the clouds.
