Mindsip insights from this episode:
Reassess progress measurement to overcome feelings of being behind
The feeling of being behind in life is not a failure but a signal that the way you are measuring progress is flawed.
Try a four-week social media detox to redefine success
To stop feeling behind, consider a four-week break from all social media to disconnect from external narratives and reconnect with your own definition of success.
Stop comparing yourself to others; focus on your unique journey
You cannot accurately compare yourself to others because you don't see the full picture, including the immense personal costs they may have paid for their success.
Implement daily gratitude practice to rewire negativity bias
A daily gratitude practice is a scientifically-backed tool to counteract the brain's hardwired negativity bias, which evolved for survival but is unhelpful in the modern world.
Adopt architect mindset to learn from every situation
Instead of a victim mindset where life happens to you, adopt an architect mindset where you ask what each situation is teaching you.
Achieve success at any age, including your 70s
Renowned author Dr. Gabor Maté only achieved his widespread fame and success in his late 60s and 70s, proving there is no single timeline for achievement.
Align internal values with actions to achieve true happiness
True happiness and contentment come from alignment, which is when your internal values and your external actions match up.
Engage in daily solitude to reconnect with yourself
A daily practice of solitude, even for just 10 minutes without external inputs, is one of the most powerful ways to reconnect with yourself.
