b'This is a motivation-based episode for creative individuals. What is that thing you really, genuinely want but some part of you is halfway trying to let it slip away? It\\u2019s that weird thing we do \\u2013 we decide to forget. It\\u2019s related to subconscious fears but also an energy-saving setting that we tend to fall into because we are quite literally exhausted and distracted by external alerts, haptics, notifications and bright interface lights. We basically live with slot machines in our hands. The mental tank is tapped by regular, everyday functioning so the glucose is short.\\nTo really start to change our habits in favor of what we deeply want, sometimes we steer our lives by watching our feet walk in a new direction, despite our brain.\\nThis is all about what I\\u2019m calling The Two You\\u2019s \\u2013 the dreamer and the worrier, and how we can really look at ourselves from outside ourselves in order to make the right decisions and investments in life. Because a lot of what guides us is a sense of habit.\\nHere are the links\\xa0I mentioned, the first being Adam Grant\\u2019s Ted podcast called Rethinking (former sponsor of the show).\\nAnd the fiction book I am enjoying called \\u201cWaiting for the Barbarians.\\u201d\\nAnd last the Rick Rubin interview with Trent Reznor which speaks to showmanship.\\nAnd lastly, to support my work and make a donation head to YayWithMe.com xo!\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
