Episode 7 is the final piece of the Breakproof mini-series featuring bonus material of my book “Breakproof: 7 Strategies to Build Resilience and Achieve Your Life Goals”. I’m wrapping up this series with Chapter 5 “The Messy Middle”, and exploring ways to propel yourself forward even when the peak is obscured from view.
In the course of any journey, it’s entirely normal to encounter phases where you feel stagnant, as if all of your efforts are yielding no results. However, adopting the right mindset can turn obstacles to opportunities, and allow you to see that some messes are blessings in disguise.
In this episode, you’ll also hear:
Maintaining perspective and adjusting expectations
Combatting overwhelm with gratitude and micro-goals
Suggestions for documenting your journey
Must-listen moments:
[00:04:16] When you're in the messy middle, the first thing to do is just pause for a second, evaluate where you are, try not to add to the mess and figure out what you can do to reestablish your ground and continue going forward.
[00:11:22] Curiosity really is something that allows us to continue in the messy middle and not judge it, not be mad at it, not try to fix it or change it, just observe it, honor it and see what you can learn, to continue to climb your climb.
[00:17:26] A lot of times the gifts in our lives are disguised in the messes in our lives.
When life’s obstacles feel like insurmountable mountains, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut. The Everest Challenge is tailored to jolt you out of your comfort zone, giving you the tools to conquer life’s peaks and valleys. This is about shifting your focus from what’s holding you back to what will propel you forward. Join the virtual group 40-day Everest Challenge.
