When we take time to actually be creative and to tap into that area of our brain that has kind of been left dormant, we do see a huge difference. Hold yourself accountable for the changes you want to make in your life. I feel a lot of empathy for those of us really grinding it out at uni or at work and just feeling really devoid of a sense of self. But what I always think is that if you don't change something now, it's going to be harder to change it in five or 10 years.
On this week's episode we discuss why we fall into a so called 'rut' and how to pull ourselves out of it and rekindle our sense of self! Our 20s represent a transition into adulthood where we can find ourselves more and more detached from ourselves, uninspired, unmotivated, unexcited by life. The reasons for why this occurs varies, from the transition to full-time work, experiencing failure, the monotony of daily routine and even chronic stress. We're going to discuss six psychological strategies and theories for how we can break out of this cycle, including the benefits of impulsive behaviour, the healing power of nature, how to set a weekly challenge and much more. For all my 20-something year olds out there, stuck in a bit of a rut. This episode if for you.
