Why You Don’t Trust Yourself Anymore

from The Motivated Mind Hosted by Scott Lynch

There was a time when decisions felt simpler. You wanted something, you chose it, and you moved on. Now, even small choices get run through reviews, opinions, frameworks, and second-guesses. This video explores why self-trust has quietly eroded, how we learned to outsource our instincts, and what it actually takes to start believing your own judgment again. New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please subscribe so my wife doesn’t make me go back to a “real” job.
