Episode notes
Avoid Overcommitment for Progress
- Avoid overcommitting yourself to many projects or opportunities that drain your energy and delay real progress.
- Reflect on whether your commitments support your long-term goals and not just temporary boosts of recognition or money.
Turn Comparison Into Clarity
- When you compare yourself to others, show yourself compassion and remember it's a natural human reaction.
- Use feelings of envy as clues to what you truly want and explore whether pursuing those desires suits you.
Stop Trying to Impress
- Avoid trying to impress others when performing because it distracts from flow and expression.
- Focus on your inner experience and presence to perform your best, not on pleasing or controlling others' perceptions.
