You lie to yourself. We all do. You do things you don't really want to do, then resent it. Agreeing to things (especially if they're far in the future), means you don't hurt someone's feelings in the moment. You get to avoid the awkward conversation where you say 'No.' Then the occasion comes and you face palm, asking yourself, 'Why did I say yes to this?' Because you lied to yourself! You avoided momentary discomfort. That's one reason your diary is over-full. But it's more than just the people pleasing. It's the speed, the hustle, the seductive lie that the faster and harder you push, the more successful you'll be. It's the lack of clarity, too, around what success even means. What can shift this is having clear criteria around what is allowed to take up your time and attention. It's striving for Effectiveness vs. Efficiency. It's putting practices into place that help you decide if something belongs in your life. Simple, but not easy... Today’s guest is Mark Silverman, author, master coach and speaker. Als
