Cindy Esliger talks about letting go of the fixation on how you’ll achieve goals and instead focussing simply on the next step in this episode. Requiring a full roadmap before embracing a new idea often stops us from stepping outside our comfort zone. Cindy has advice on how to break free of the fixation on how.
New projects and goals are unknowable paths and that lack of linear foresight can make us reluctant to step into those challenges. Cindy’s advice, however, is to simply embrace the next step. You can figure out each subsequent step as you go. She shares the three traits needed to master the how: 1) adaptability, 2) resourcefulness, and 3) flexibility.
Risk and discomfort help us reach our goals. Cindy’s three reasons for embracing discomfort are that comfort is overrated, discomfort is a catalyst for growth, and discomfort signals progress. She expands on how the growth happens and shares four ways to prepare ourselves for the negative emotions that may arise on our journey. Let Cindy’s guidance lead us outside the comfort zone so we can truly realize our goals, without knowing the how in advance.
