Summary

Myth: Only weak people need to work on themselves The best athletes in the world go to physios, and continue to work on their strength, conditioning and sport specific skills. Top level CEOs get business coaching and research trends in their market/industry. But there’s the destructive belief out there that only weak/broken people need to work on themselves, heal past traumas, and improve their mental modes of thinking. This myth holds us all back. Firstly, you’re not broken if you have a patten of thinking that is no longer helpful or you have a need that is unmet. Secondly, getting outside assistance to help you over your blind spots and stumbling blocks is admirable. Without taking quiet time for yourself you may not even know you have these unmet needs. Everything starts with pausing to look at what’s going on, and then you can decide what you’d like to work on. And we all have blind spots that others can point out for us, and help us improve. More people than you know have worked with counsellors, psychologists, and mental performance coaches. It is not weakness to want or need to work on yourself. In fact it’s the complete opposite.

Episode Description

Myth: Only weak people need to work on themselves

The best athletes in the world go to physios, and continue to work on their strength, conditioning and sport specific skills. Top level CEOs get business coaching and research trends in their market/industry.

But there’s the destructive belief out there that only weak/broken people need to work on themselves, heal past traumas, and improve their mental modes of thinking.

This myth holds us all back. Firstly, you’re not broken if you have a patten of thinking that is no longer helpful or you have a need that is unmet. Secondly, getting outside assistance to help you over your blind spots and stumbling blocks is admirable.

Without taking quiet time for yourself you may not even know you have these unmet needs. Everything starts with pausing to look at what’s going on, and then you can decide what you’d like to work on. And we all have blind spots that others can point out for us, and help us improve.

More people than you know have worked with counsellors, psychologists, and mental performance coaches. It is not weakness to want or need to work on yourself. In fact it’s the complete opposite.
