from THE GOOD LIFE. by Tim Schröder · host Tim Schröder
I had a stable, well-paying job as an aerospace engineer. From the outside, everything looked great. On the inside, I felt empty, unmotivated, and lonely.Most people think that feeling will go away once they achieve enough. It doesn't. And in this video, I explain why.Fulfillment isn't something you earn on the outside. It's a physical experience in your body. And as long as your body is closed down, no amount of success will actually land.We talk about the if/then trap, why pushing makes it worse, what burnout actually is, and what it feels like when life starts working with you instead of against you.At the end, I guide you through a short body practice so you can feel exactly what I mean.
