Ep. 101 – Live Mindset Work for Increase with Leni

Live Mindset Work for Increase with Leni

I’m thrilled to share a special episode where I had the opportunity to delve into a coaching session with our client, Leni. At the end of our session, Leni suggested that we turn our conversation into a podcast episode, knowing it could benefit others facing similar challenges. We explored Leni’s experience of discomfort, dissecting procrastination, and reflecting on the concept of taking time for granted. Our discussion even led us to explore the concept of the ‘upper limit problem’ and how it can impact our success. Join us as we dive deep into these topics and share insights that could help you navigate your own journey.

Turning Discomfort into Growth: A Deep Dive into Procrastination and Personal Evolution

In our conversation, we delved into the feelings of discomfort and resistance many of us experience while preparing for the LSAT exam. We explored the concept of listening to your body and unpacking the underlying emotions that may be causing procrastination or hesitancy. Here are the key points we discussed:

  1. Exploring Feelings: I acknowledged feeling discomfort and resistance when attempting to study for the LSAT. We delved into the emotions behind these feelings, such as fear of failure and uncertainty about the future.
  2. Processing Emotions: We emphasized the importance of processing emotions and facing them head-on rather than avoiding them. I encourage you to acknowledge and understand these feelings as a normal part of personal growth and change.
  3. Recalibration: We discussed the need for recalibration after a period of intense emotional processing or personal development. I suggest using tools like mindset journaling to reflect on experiences and ground myself in the present.
  4. Accepting Change: There was a focus on accepting positive change and embracing growth, even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar. Discomfort is a normal part of the process and can be used as a catalyst for personal evolution.
  5. Breaking Through Limiting Beliefs: We touched on the concept of the “upper limit problem” from “The Big Leap,” highlighting the tendency to self-sabotage when reaching a certain level of success or happiness. I encourage you to break through these limiting beliefs and embrace ongoing growth and improvement.
