Mini Episode - Change is Coming: Reflecting on Gratefulness and Motivation

Hey guys, welcome to Inspired Questions. I'm your host, Ruth Hirshberg, and today is a mini-episode featuring just me. We are going to talk about the question change that is coming up. I have finished releasing the episodes with the old questions and recorded a few with the new list. Only two questions are leaving us, but they'll come back. It's not that they aren't worthy, but there's so much to cover. For this episode, I want to talk about those two questions, what I've learned from all the wonderful guests, and share the two new questions that are taking their place. I'll also answer them myself. The first question leaving us is, "What is something you are grateful for?" I've learned the importance of gratitude, how it boosts both emotional and physical health, and different ways to practice it. The second question we are saying goodbye to is, "What helps you with motivation and staying consistent?" This one is hard for me. I've learned about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, starting small, finding your why, changing what isn't working, and rewarding yourself. The first new question is, "How have you dealt with times that you failed at something?" I'll share my thoughts on defining failure and the importance of trying. The second new question is, "Do you think you are a perfectionist and how do you deal with this?" I'll discuss my experience with perfectionism and how it has held me back. I'm glad I did this mini-episode and I hope it resonates with you. Please message me or email me if you have any questions, topics, or guest suggestions.
