Thriving Man Encore Episode: Actively Giving Up - Avoiding the Uncomfortable

We have been traveling a lot this month and thought playing a popular episode again would be good. This episode deals with one of the key ways we avoid the uncomfortable. We escape. Escapism is a way of actively giving up and we help you deal with it in this episode.

When things are hard or uncomfortable many of us give up but in an active way. We don’t quit but focus on other areas of our lives to avoid the hard areas. This happens especially when we feel confused or insecure.

In this episode, we talk about what actively giving up looks like and how we can change our focus to achieve success.

What Actively Giving Up Looks Like:

-Busyness

-Escapism

How to Overcome:

-Truth

-Challenge

What areas of your life are you avoiding?

Pick one area to lean into and start working on.

Don't try to fix every area in your life but focus all your energy on one area at a time.

This will build up endurance for future areas.

Enjoy!
