S2E12: Hustle vs. Flow

What this episode covers

Today we’re busting the myth that there’s value in the hustle and grind, and offering an alternative instead.I see you over there, placing your value on how hard you can hustle and do the grind. And I also see that you’re incredibly exhausted. So, tell me, how’s the hustle and grind serving you?Spoiler alert: It’s not.In today’s episode we’re talking about the fact that most of the time when you’re in the hustle, grinding away, you’re not in the flow, and instead, you’re trying to force your will to “make things happen.”Only, the harder you grind, the harder you try and force things to happen...and the more exhausted you get.Or, alternatively, you grind hard, get sh*t done, and when it’s over and you’ve achieved the thing you were trying to achieve, you can’t even enjoy it...because you’re so exhausted you’re just glad it’s over. I get it. I used to be that person. Spinning my wheels, trying to make sh*t happen,  running on fumes, exhausted all the time.Until I finally hit a wall and realized I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t keep living that way. It was unsustainable.As I began healing through the experience, I realized, the reason hustling and grinding is so exhausting is because often when we’re in the hustle, we’re trying to force our will and we’re not in the flow. When we’re not in the flow it’s because we’re not in our right minds.What does it mean to be in our right minds?It means to think with God.When we’re not in flow, we’re not thinking with God. When we’re not thinking with God, we believe in illusions. When we believe in illusions, we believe in the lie that there’s value in the hustle and grind. Tune in today as I share about the error in the hustle, a truth bomb about where the myth that there’s value in the hustle and grind comes from, and offer you a simple alternative instead. You’ll be surprised at how simple it is to free yourself from the illusion of the hustle and get into flow. All it takes is one big awareness (that I reveal in this episode) and three simple questions. Enjoy!   Links:Join the private newsletter community to receive bonus episodes of the podcast, community only invitations for quarterly Coffee Dates, and offers on anything I create delivered straight to your inbox: www.shiranimpathak.com/connect   Find Me on Social Media:Our hashtags are #fierceauthenticity and #showupbeseengetloveIf you're loving the episode, take a screenshot, share it on social, and tag me in your post!Instagram: @shiranimpathakFacebook: @ShiraniMPathakFor a transcript of this episode visit  www.shiranimpathak.com/podcastDonate to the work: Shirani on PayPal *Some of the links used may be affiliate links.
