He Doesn't Want Me to Have an Easy Day: Episode 16

How do you feel when you’re in the middle of a casual conversation, and a client or boss asks you to do a task for them? When it almost seems like they’re trying to make your life difficult on purpose? That’s how my guest David, the owner of a landscaping company, felt when his client asked him to do a seemingly minor tasks. It didn't look like a big deal - but it elicited a strong internal reaction. As we questioned that belief together, he began to see just how much ease was already available in his work. He saw how simple this client really was to serve, and realized how his innocent thinking, caught up in the belief, was what was inadvertently making his job so much harder.If you ever feel like people aren’t cutting you slack, you might feel inspired listening to David’s journey from frustration and self attack to immense gratitude and appreciation. Please share and subscribe if this episode resonates, so that I know you want more.****Your Thoughts at Work is a podcast where we explore the beliefs that quietly shape our experience of work, and sometimes, our whole identity.
