The chapter explores the concept of making deliberate choices in relationships and careers, emphasizing the importance of actively deciding rather than passively sliding into situations. It delves into the idea of facing large world problems, decisions with uncertain outcomes that require choices in uncertainty rather than definitiveness. The conversation highlights the significance of taking action based on personal desires and values to navigate through life's decision-making processes.
In this episode we are joined by clinical psychologist and author of 'The Defining Decade' to talk about all the frustrations, stressors, misconceptions and hard moments of our 20s and why it's only going to get BETTER from here. We talk about:
- Shifting from a 'what if' to a 'what is' or 'what else' mindset
- Why we fear uncertainity
- Milestone anxiety
- Sliding versus deciding
- Catastrophic thinking
- Insecure and anxious attachment styles vs. insecure and anxious moments
- And so much more
