from Do You F*cking Mind? · host Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa - Neuroscientist and Mindset Coach

The Reset You Actually Need – Day 3 So many people believe their struggles are just “part of who they are.” In Day 3 of The Reset You Actually Need, we unpack the personality traits people often romanticise - like being chaotic, overly self-sacrificing, emotionally intense, or the crazy party animal, and how these traits quietly sabotage growth, consistency, and self-trust. This episode explores: Why you cling onto certain traits as your armour even though they conflict with the person you are trying to become The psychology behind identifying too strongly with struggle How to evolve your identity without losing your edge If you’ve ever described yourself as “so chaotic,” “bad with routine,” or “a perfectionist,” this episode will help you see where personality ends and self-sabotage begins. This isn’t about becoming boring or losing what makes you you. It’s about upgrading the parts of your identity that are no longer serving your future. Part of a 10-day mini-series designed to reset your mindset, standards, and sense of self for the year ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
