FMM 211 – The Creative Calling Part 5: The Threat Of Lethargy

Welcome to our first-ever Finish More Music podcast series!

This podcast series, "The Creative Calling," explores how pursuing one's passions, particularly in creative fields, leads to a more fulfilling life for you and for others.

In the series I use research and personal stories to illustrate the profound positive impacts of creative pursuits on mental, physical, and emotional well-being, and also address how to balance your personal creative goals with other life commitments.

Fear isn’t the only thing stopping us from pursuing our creative calling—there’s another silent threat: lethargy.

That feeling of being “too tired,” “too drained,” or “just not in the mood” can quietly steal more days from our lives than we realize.

In this episode, we break down what lethargy really is, why motivation isn’t something you wait for, and how small shifts in mindset and action will help you overcome resistance.

Using insights from elite performers, psychological research, and personal experience, we unpack how to reclaim your energy and move forward...

...even when you don’t feel like it.
