#41 - The Comparison Trap & the Power of Negative Visualisation
from Human Being School · host Nick Costantino
In this short solo episode, I reflect on two of the biggest lessons from our 6 months away: the trap of comparison, and the ancient practice of negative visualisation. I share how comparing our present experience to past adventures or expectations affected my mindset, especially early in the trip. Then I explore the Stoic-inspired strategy that helped me reclaim presence—drawing on the ideas of Tim Ferriss and William B. Irvine.If you want to learn more about fear setting you can watch Tim hereConnect with me:Instagram: @cosi.nick or @humanbeingschoolHuman Being School - LinktreeModex Natural - InstagramModex Natural - Website (code: NCOS15 for 15% off your first order)Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review "Human Being School" on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts
