Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael Gervais
The Tension Between Being and Becoming
The tension between being and becoming refers to the challenge of balancing self-acceptance with personal growth and improvement. It is about finding a way to be content with who you are in the present moment while also striving to become a better version of yourself. This tension is not easily resolved, but one way to navigate it is by training the mind to be in the present moment more often. By developing psychological skills, one can increase the frequency of being fully present and content. Just as one sets aside time to train the body or enhance technical skills, it is important to allocate specific time for training the mind. This discrete practice allows for focused mental development rather than it becoming a continuous distraction throughout the day.
