Description

“The urge to prove yourself and work harder has been our pattern for so long and it reinforces the thoughts of ‘no pain, no gain.’ Like it has to be difficult to be worthy.”

We often find ourselves caught in the trap of proving ourselves and constantly working harder. However, true alignment in our personal and professional lives comes from redefining success and investing in quality time with loved ones.

In this episode, Rebecca shares how to break these patterns and prioritize stillness and connection to create a legacy that transcends achievements and leaves a lasting impact. Let's challenge ourselves to embrace the most challenging disruption activity of all - stillness - and live a life that aligns with what truly matters.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Shift your focus from external rewards, such as money or status, to how you want your life to feel. This can help guide your goals and decisions instead of solely focusing on proving yourself and working harder.
2. Take a step back and question whether your current actions align with what you truly want. Be open to breaking the pattern and exploring alternative ways to achieve what matters most to you.
3. Challenge the notion that only big, challenging activities are worthy of recognition and praise. Recognize the power of stillness and quality time in creating meaningful connections and reducing stress.
