That's kind of where I've been with analysis paralysis... There are so many topics I've wanted to make short videos on that I learned in my undergraduate education but I never seem to believe the content I'd produce will be to my standards. When I look back on every difficult thing that I've started, the hardest part is getting over the initial starting hurdle. Great videos! Definitely will be watching more :)
Thank you! The hardest part is definitely getting started. I like to change my goal from "achieve the thing" to "practice failing at the thing" which helps my rebel side want to get going!
I think this is great for chronic pain recovery as well! I've read "The Way Out" and to be honest it doesn't do anything for me. Which makes me think that it's not so much the method you're using as it is the attitude towards it. Would love to hear your thoughts about this!
I agree, Nick. The attitude we bring to chronic pain recovery has a huge impact on our capacity to rewire our brain to stop sending danger signals and turn down the volume on the pain. I think what growth mindset and chronic pain recovery have in common is the idea that our brains are neuroplastic, and we can rewire our brains to both think differently about building a skill and we can rewire our brains to stop creating pain sensations. I could talk about this topic all day!
@@narrativedrive yeah I feel like it's really easy to get stuck in a "fixed mindset" whenever you have a flare up. Then you start thinking it's never going to go away, I"ll be stuck with this forever. But with a "growth mindset" you just see these setbacks as part of the process. Personally I've had psychosomatic pain in my stomach for 5 years and it's only now that it's starting to get better
Amazing content as ever, Maureen. Keep up great work. Always motivating.
Thanks so much!
