This week on the Less Stressed Life, we’re reframing the grind. Mindset strategist Brad Bizjack joins me to explore why “I’ll be happy when” keeps high achievers stuck and how to set your emotional thermostat, choose a more resourceful state for the next room, and create success without sacrificing fulfillment.

We dig into the difference between pain and suffering, a simple body breath focus recipe to shift emotions fast, how to trade attachment and perfection for purpose and detachment, and why moving from away-from motivation to a toward-purpose fuel source changes everything.

If you’ve ever tied your worth to productivity, kept pushing the goalpost, or felt anxious even when things are going right, this conversation offers clear language, practical tools, and real-life examples you can use today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Choose the most resourceful state for the next room
• Thermostat over thermometer: reset your emotional home
• Shift state with body, breath, and focus
• Trade expectations for appreciation to regain power
• Detachment means supporting the dream without letting it own you
• Perfection is the lowest standard and guarantees pain
• Self-sabotage is often a drive for safety; create safe evidence for growth
