#79 You're the boulder, not the catapult.

from Mind Universe · host Fahad Alenezi

You might think you’re pushing your problems away, launching them into some distant future where they’ll disappear on their own. But that’s not how it works. You’re not the catapult. You’re the boulder. Wherever you send your problems, you’ll eventually land there too. And when you do, they won’t be lighter—they’ll be heavier. In this episode, I talk about the weight of avoiding what needs to be faced, the illusion of ‘later,’ and why the future version of you deserves better than being left with what you don’t want to deal with now. Take care of yourself. You’ve got this.
