13176: Ruts and Goal Trauma
04/23/24 • 6 min
Hey there, hero!
It's easy to get into a rut. You get used to doing something, you're not challenged any longer, and it starts feeling monotonous.
Even if your goal was to create a reliable ritual. It just gets old. You get stuck.
Then Ajarae Coleman jumped in with a new concept.
You try to shake things up, and strike out for something more challenging. Something new.
And it doesn't quite work out.
The feelings you have when you try something, fail at it, and reflect on the process can range from the thought that you learned something to "meh" to disappointment to outright sadness to..."goal trauma."
(Yeah, I didn't know what that meant either, until I used the google to find out what Ajarae was on about.)
Please discuss, once you've watched the episode. What's your go-to reaction when you try something and fail? Let me know in the comments below.

13175: You Never Forget Your First Time
Hey there, hero!
The number one answer to the question I ask when I'm trying to gauge a student's concerns about learning, "What are you most worried about?" is so interesting.
And we don't really think about that one moment, that one concern, that everyone in the world has also experienced. It's a universal.
And if you give this momentous occasion a thought or two, it can really change your perspective on being a beginner.
Or a "never tried it.".
Or, at some point, an experienced professional.
Do remember the moment you switched from "I've never done this" to "I know how to do this!"? What did that feel like? Let me know in the comments below.

13177: I'm Sure They Mean Well, But...No.
Hey there, hero!
This episode is a quick reminder that there are a lot of ways to go about doing things in our business.
Some are pretty good.
Some are uh-MAZE-ing.
But some...um, no. Just no.
Can you see what's very wrong with the process I came across in the Meetup profile I talk about? Let me know in the comments below.
