So they put an accountability coach such as yourself in place, a coach. If I don't do this, I've got to give a hundred dollars to charity and all this scaffolding to keep them on the path, to keep going down something that's uncomfortable." "Why don't we just get rid of what is making it uncomfortable? What is making it uncomfortable is not the task. The task is neutral. What is making it uncomfortable is your reaction to the task. So why don't we just let that dissipate?"Darren: Simply observe when slipping back into your comfort zone"What this does is it enables you, it helps build the skill of simply observing, of observation. The reason this is important is when you feel that energetic sensation rise within your body that would normally cause you to either avoid the CEO work or do the previous role's work, you need to be able to simply observe what is happening."Connect with Darren in the following links:About DarrenWebsiteIf you enjoyed today’s episode, please subscribe, review and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.
