Episode 096 - Softening instead of striving | How to stop forcing and start flowing

10 Oct

Written By Alessia

What if you didn’t have to try so hard?

Take a second, maybe even take a deep breath, and allow that to sink in for a second.

What if life didn’t have to be so hard? What if you didn’t have to force or strive to move forward or reach your goals? What if you could live life in flow, allowing everything to unfold?

That’s what we’re talking about in this week’s episode.

It’s all too common for us to think that striving towards what we want is the fastest path to get there, but I’m here to tell you that it is most definitely not.

Oftentimes, the more we struggle and strive to arrive a goal, the less we actually enjoy the process of achieving it. And what happens, then, when we actually get to the finish line? It’s unlikely to give you the feeling you were hoping for, if you didn’t take the time to cultivate that feeling along the way.

This episode covers a wide range of topics from goal setting to the myth of suffering and just how juicy life can be when we learn to soften instead of striving. I deeply hope that it serves you.

In this episode, we explore:

✧ How to move away from hustle and optimization culture

✧ The truth about why forcing doesn’t lead to fulfillment

✧ Why self-compassion is the missing ingredient to real growth

✧ Why your self-worth isn't tied to your productivity and achieving
